Two sides from one town
Bird Island, Granite Falls, Marshall, Milroy, Raymond, Sacred Heart, Wabasso and Willmar, with Willmar fielding both the Indians and the Rails.
A town supporting two clubs in the same league is the surest sign there are more men who want to play than one roster can hold, and it is the healthiest thing on this page.
The Rails is a railroad name. Willmar was a division point on the Great Northern, which is why the town exists at the size it does.
No roster is published for any of the nine.
Rosters on High Cheese update as people sign and follow a player between clubs and seasons, which in a town with two sides matters more than usual.
