Who are the contenders at the 10U level in 2011?

[WinThemAll]

In no order:

Heartland Havoc
Edge Chaos
Downers Grove Outlaws
Mattoon Pride
Wasco Diamonds '00
Team Champion Fitness
Team Oak Stars (if they would stop hiding behind "B")

Haven't seen or heard about these:
Quad City Firebirds USA????
BNGSA Angels
CIGS Rebels

Haven't seen far south teams
Southern Express or Downstate Rippers

But on any given Sunday, with 10s anything is possible. PLUS not had a chance to get outside much. . .

It would be great to have these teams meet for a tournament.

Most of the teams you listed are from "B" organizations!

Hmmmm, must have not posted your team.

While some of them may claim "B" from what I have gathered they play at the "A" level.

In 10U in Illinois too many teams trophy hunt.

QC Firebirds and BNGSA Angels were both good teams last year.

Firebirds were probably the best team in Illinois at 10s last year.

We played the Edge Chaos just this weekend in Pekin, good team. Definitely an "A" team

Played Team Champion Fitness in the fall, they were also a good team.

Just getting started, hopefully will be outside this weekend.

I think ole Rich from QC Firebirds is hidin' out this year. . .everyone move up to 12s?

New Lenox Lightning has two stud pitchers, outstanding defense, great foot speed, and a killer offense. Oak Stars are a close second with much of the same. Lightning plays a straight "A" ASA schedule and Stars dabble in alot of "B" tournaments. Due to the different schedules, I would give the edge to the Lightning. These are the best teams in Chicago area not counting the NW Indiana teams. Firebirds were great last year but many have moved up to 11U. I would not count them out but it is too early to say.

Alot of good teams our of Indiana this year. NWI Sox, Indy Xtreme, Indy Edge, Indy Gators, CP Bulldogs.

Had not heard about New Lenox. Good to know.

It is really hard to play an all "A" schedule at 10s. Usually not enough tournaments. Especially down state.

Come on. . .climb out from behind your monitors and keyboards.

I can't be the only one willing to list 10s. . .

The Indiana 10s thread is a really good one. . .pretty good discussion and no bashing. Are we going to let those Hoosiers beat us. . .
