Team Farber landed the top returner in the state with his 3rd overall pick - C4 #3 Jacob McCrackin out of West Plains. Farber followed that up with 5 more picks in the top 40 among returners. C4 #12 Nick Warmann of Marquette was next, followed by Parkway West's Andrew Lofgren. Nolan Dick of Raymore-Peculiar was taken 30th and is the 30th fastest returner. Billy Driemeyer of Lindbergh, their #1, was his next pick. Rising junior from Jefferson City, Thomas Nield, coming off a strong sophomore campaign, was his next pick. He then grabbed the brothers Grover from Blue Springs South, taking Dillon first and then Zach. Evan Adrian, Kirkwood's #3, but the 51st fastest returner, fell to him at 67 and then he rounded out his draft with former league member and Clayton athlete, Andrew Withrow. Farber is right in the middle of a mess of teams from 3-7, but he has two strong front-runners and is set up well to compete in 2017.
