Morgan County Wranglers Join Brush Chamber of Commerce

New summer collegiate baseball team prepares for first season in June

Published on Feb. 17, 2026

The Brush Chamber of Commerce welcomed the Morgan County Wranglers, a new summer collegiate baseball team, as they prepare for their inaugural season in June. The Wranglers were formed last fall with support from the Morgan County School District and will compete in the Front Range League, a growing summer collegiate league focused on affordable family entertainment and community partnerships.

Why it matters

The addition of the Morgan County Wranglers provides a new source of affordable, family-friendly entertainment for the local community, while also offering college athletes an opportunity to develop their skills and gain exposure during the summer months.

The details

The Wranglers will play a 48-game schedule, including more than two dozen home games in Fort Morgan and Brush. The team will feature college athletes from across the country who come to play daily games, gain exposure and prepare for the next level. The league uses wood bats and a near professional schedule to replicate the pace of pro baseball. The Wranglers rely on local host families to house players during the season, and the team is still actively looking for host families.
