Weatherford Cutters Join the Cowboy Collegiate League

The Cowboy Collegiate League continues to build its inaugural lineup with the addition of the Weatherford Cutters, bringing collegiate summer baseball to Waco, Texas.

Located in Parker County Texas, Weatherford is named after Thomas J. Weatherford, a State senator and advocate for Texas's secession to the Confederate States during the American Civil War. League officials believe the city’s energy and community pride make it a natural fit for the Cowboy Collegiate League as it prepares for its first season.

The Cowboy Collegiate League was formed with the goal of bringing high-level collegiate summer baseball to some of Texas’ most vibrant communities while giving elite college athletes a competitive platform during the offseason. Players from programs across the country will compete throughout the summer, gaining valuable experience while continuing to develop their skills. The Cowboy Collegiate League is a member of The Players League which is also home to the Old North State League. In years prior, the Old North State League has had the privilege to be a part of more than 10 professional baseball player’s careers, with several of those being called up just last year. 

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome this new franchise into our league family,” said Alec Allred, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Players League. “We’re eager to see this team take the field and become a cornerstone of Weatherford.”

The Weatherford Cutters will now begin assembling their roster and building partnerships within the local community as they prepare for the league’s inaugural season. The team will play at Noon Lions Field in partnership with the Weatherford Baseball and Softball Association. Their season will run from June until the playoffs in August.
