Lake Drive Buzz

2021 Runner-Up

Team retired after 2021 season 

 

Originally known as Oskar Woodworks: The Buzz, an ode to Grizzly Doug, aka Gr3g’s dad & sawyer extraordinaire.

Relocating to the SE side as the Broad Leaf Buzz, based off the nickname “Toothless Buzzards” given to a certain youth league team by their biggest fan (Grizzly Doug) because they had no follow-through.

Dr. Weed and Gr3g soon were oft-injured for diving on the ground, taking charges, playing like NBA bigs though we were only 9 years old. We soon were known as Weed & Greed.

 

 

They’ve also been known as the Wilcox Sanders, an ode to Mike Sanders, namesake of the court at the City of Grand Rapids Park (listen to the podcast here).

Name changed to Lake Drive Buzz in early 2023 in hopes of refilling the roster.

Although the franchise is TBD, the origin in Ward 3 is set.
