Monterey County has been producing players in the NFL for the last 35 years. This year five former local standouts will be in trainings camps.
But what about other sports?
Major League Soccer has two former county sensations in the league in Ramiro Corrales (North Salinas) for the Earthquakes and rookie David Estrada (Alisal) with Seattle.
Major League Baseball has one in Salinas graduate Xavier Nady, who is a reserve outfielder with the Cubs. Nady is one of just two players in the county to win a World Series ring, joining Mike Aldrete --- both coming as members of the Yankees.
John Devine has been writing about high school sports in Monterey County since, well, practically since he was an athlete at King City in the days just after leather helmets. In PrepNation, John has even more in-depth analysis of the latest results and news he's brought to you in The Herald and in his weekly videos.
