There are only 2 coaches - who may or may not be on the Freebilly all-comers list - I've had an issue with and both of them know it. I dealt with 1 in a face-to-face conversation and the other and I aren't on speaking terms. That's life, but I'm not going to snipe at him or his team on a message board.
I already said the 4 teams I thought were at the top of the food chain based on a lot of factors, including results, and I've said which teams I think are also "among the top" in Sacramento. I don't have the ability to get angry at a computer screen because someone disagreed about 12u softball. I'm content to keep saying positive things about the teams and players I've seen here and it goes without saying that I stand by my comment about WCP being the biggest surprise of the season. YMMV, and that's alright.
As for PGF, I wouldn't begin to try to handicap individual teams. Last year, LTG caught a favorable draw and was able to earn a berth. This year, with 4 berths on the line, I'd like to see them all go to local teams, but I think there's a real chance for us to get 2.
Quietstorm, who are you referring to? No axe to grind with any coach here. Anyone giving up their days and nights to mentor young ladies is a saint in my book. I stated facts about those 2 teams. I didnt bash anyone. I'll be keeping my eye on them to see if I missed something. With that said good luck to all and safe travels to Fresno. My husband warned me about the bucket and having an opinion. Guess we all have to learn for ourselves.
