WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2017 – Like a child’s Christmas wish list, the Des Moines Menace’s 2017 college honor roll is long and growing.
You’ll find close to 20 of our Premier Development League alumni on this year’s list, and it’s highly possible we’ve missed someone (though we’ve done our best to not leave out anyone).
