I was in Bloomington 2yrs ago with my Indiana Gators 2001 team and in SoCal this year with Beverly Bandits 12u. The level of play and number of very good teams at PGF this year was unbelievable. Wish we could still be playing, but great tournament and hope to be back next year.
My pick to win it all- SoCal A's Mercado
Good luck to all the teams and players next year.

My DD's team was fortunate enough to play well into Friday and got to play quite a few outside of California teams along the way. We're spoiled in So Cal to play great competition every weekend, but this Nationals proved again that the rest of the country is catching up.
One shout out to Georgia Impact '01 who were great competitors and had very gracious and classy coaches and parents. It was a pleasure to talk to a few of them. Hope to see a bunch of these teams again next year in 14U. Congrats to all the So Cal teams that represented. Look forward to seeing the championship game tomorrow afternoon!
