We are blessed in So Cal to have a whole lot of talented young ladies competing against the best of the best, week in week out. I think the Top teams could beat each other on any given day so it's hard to say that one or two teams are going to dominate everyone else. Some teams do well consistantly in friendlies and some don't, but in tournaments, the cream rises. So based upon what I've seen, my take on the Top 10 teams right now:
1. OCBB Steele
2. So Cal Athletics Mercado
3. Firecrackers Thornburg
4. Choppers Black
5. OCBB Stith
6. OCBB Bracamonte
7. Choppers Vidal
8. OCBB Young (Definitely the Most Improved!!)
9. Corona Angels Slye
10. So Cal Breakers
Firecrackers Manny, OC United, Firecrackers Blanco, EPOCH, OCBB Montoya and Williams,
Corona Angels '02, So Cal Athletics Quarles, could all fill the next 10 spots. There are just alot of young and improving teams out there.
Best of luck to all the 12U teams as they head towards PGF or ASA Nationals.
I agree with most on your list, except #1. I don't know how you can put them ahead of Thornburg's team. They are playing as well as anyone right now. But I guess you did not see what happened at Brenda Marsh. I agree OCBB Young are going to be a team to watch. You DON'T want to draw this 02' team at PGF. With the pickups they have made, they are going to be the top team heading into next year, and should be in the top 10 of the rankings. Bownet Black did not fare to well at PGF. I see them dropping in the next poll. Corona Angels Slye are a good team, but after losing to two good NorCal teams in Vegas and losing to So Cal Fire ? in the TCS March Mayhem tourney, I do not see them staying in the top 10.. So Cal Breakers ,Epoch , and Case Batbusters Hickman should be added to the rankings on the next poll. The Breakers team that qualified. Is that Niestas.? Montano? A little help...I will update the poll after TCS Aprils Finest . Alot of very good teams entered for that tourney. The next couple of weekends should be alot of good match ups at Friendlys. Choppers Vidal is hosting a mega friendly with most if not all the top teams there. And next weekend, Firecrackers Thornburg and Manny are hosting seperate Friendlys with many of the top teams.
