2010 Faster to First Tournament

[chgman]

Elite 8

1-4
El Modena v Ayala
Canyon v Foothill, Ca

5-8
Vista Murrieta v Pleasant Grove
Rodriguez v Valencia

Over the last fews days, I have observed some very competitive softball. The Fab 50 and CA state rankings will definately change. Some of the ranked teams that should be removed from the FAB 50 (imo) are #30 Seton Keough, #17 Oak Ridge, #11 Mortimer Jordan and#37 Marist. These teams are good but when paired with the better teams in this tournament, failed to show.
I do give them all credit for putting it on the line and stepping in the ring. But this HS tournament is not for the faint of heart.

HS rankings are great but I think of strength schedule should count for something when evaluating teams.

Welcome the bucket chgman. Nice posts. I agree with you on the strength of schedule comment. I wish i could see some more O.C. or So Cal Valley or San Diego teams in this tournament. Every week is a challenge around these talented squads. I have seen some pretty good ball players in So Cal and would put them up against anyone out there. The luck of the draw once your in the tournament is critical also.

Ayala over Canyon in final.
Great game by UCLA bound Angel Jessica Hall

Foothill over Elmo for third (mercy rule)

Etiwanda over Pacifica for ninth

Edison over Bingham
Perfect game for Sammy Cordova with 12Ks

Very impressive to throw a perfect game Sammy Cordova, and congrats to the entire team as well, I know it is a joint effort. Not bad for a freshman
