Comments have been updated as well.

1. Firecrackers-Brashear
Qualified: PGF: Yes (So Cal) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: A near unanimous # 1. Big bats … strong defense. Lost to McNee in Col. Sparkler TV exhibition showcase game, but won the Sparkler tourney defeating TN Elite, twice.

2. Team Mizuno-Campbell
Qualified: PGF: Yes (invite) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Injured players appear to be back, …have added a few big bats recently. Great showing at 2 Surf City tourneys in 16u. Are a couple of surprising losses at Champions Cup cause for concern going into PGF?

3. OC Batbusters-McNee
Qualified: PGF: Yes (return berth) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Large roster, … how do you keep that many players happy. Played only 10 of their large roster in a televised exhibition showcase game in Colorado, but defeated #1 FC, before losing to TN Elite in semi-finals.

4. Firecrackers-Rice
Qualified: PGF: Yes (So Cal) :mrgreen: ASA: Yes (16u) :mrgreen:
Comments: Qualified with a strong run through the losers bracket at So Cal qualifier. Attending both PGF 14u and ASA 16u nationals. Good showing in 16u Champions Cup to finish in second place.

5. Team Mizuno-Briggs
Qualified: PGF: Yes (AZ qualifier) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Still a bit up and down at times, but expect them to continue getting better and more consistent. Best all around of the 99 teams …good pitching. Getting more consistent, and won Champions Cup 14u division.

6. Corona Angels-Perez
Qualified: PGF: Yes (So Cal) :mrgreen: ASA: No
Comments: Still see this as the best of the Corona Angels teams. Got on a roll since Aprils Finest. A couple big losses at Champions Cup may be cause for concern.

7. So Cal Choppers-Shipman
Qualified: PGF: Yes (invite) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Good hitting, … not so good defense. A couple of recent good showings, taking 2nd place at Batbusters BOTW 16u and a good showing in Lousiville Slugger Independence Day 16u in Colorado. This team may now be primed for a run at PGF.

8. So Cal Athletics-Quarles
Qualified: PGF: Yes (invite) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Lost some players, … good bats, ... need pitching.

9. OC Batbusters-Ybarra/McGowan
Qualified: PGF: Yes (New Mexico qualifier) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Good hitters, … pitching is shaky.

10. San Diego Power Surge 99
Qualified: PGF: Yes (invite) :mrgreen: , ASA: Yes (return berth)
Comments: Beyond #1, pitching questionable, and that was confirmed at Champions Cup with a tough win over Mizuno-Campbell, but big losses to lesser teams.

11. Firecrackers-Contreras
Qualified: PGF: No, ASA: No
Comments: Lost #1 pitcher to Choppers-Shipman. Did not qualify.

12. Firecrackers-Roman
Qualified: PGF: Yes (Las Vegas qualifier) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Inconsistent at times, … defense may be an issue. Did what they had to to qualify for PGF, but may need to add a few missing pieces.

13. Team Mizuno-Granado
Qualified: PGF: Yes (New Mexico qualifier) :mrgreen: , ASA: No
Comments: Team is inconsistent, .. defense not so good.
