River Rat which two teams joined to form Aftermath?

[Likeitornot]

there are 8 teams in the 12u bracket: ambush vs falcons, diamond queens vs fusion, threat vs aftermath, twist vs oak hill Our kids (aftermath), are very excited to get the new season rolling, we as coaches are excited to see two successful organizations come together. definately a lot of optimism in our camp!

River rat, so is there not 2 Phoenix 12u teams if yours is a merger of Valpo Phoenix and Wheatfield Warriors? Mind if I ask who your coaches are, from Wheatfield or Phoenix? Just curious how theses mergers work.. Thanks.

Gotta love the blueberry fest, lot of food at centenial park. True teams ha ? I wonder wich first year 16's are going to be sneaking in playing in the 14u division ,, And i wonder wich first year 14's are sneaking in the 12u division shame on the guilty ones. If your moving too 1st year 14's, thats what i hope you play, same for the 12's,, anyone moving up should play accordingly ,, I'm checking on you ,, bye the way,, 1st, 2nd place team trophies are very nice.can you say 4' trophy for 1'st

What Outlaw team is playing this weekend?

[dailyjoy]

Border fan ... Who knows the brackets just say outlaws so it could be the Michigan outlaws.

I am wondering which raider team as well. There 98 team maybe?

[Wagner]

the new 14u outlaw team.......the merger of raiders black and outlaws 99 will be the ones playing. should be a good showing for 14u teams.........

[Biggest fan bar none]

hmmmmmm..intresting wagner,, the old raiders black won 1st place in the 12 division and went undefeated last year at the fest, playing the south bend tidal waves in the championship,,,,you sure its not maybe the downers grove outlaws playing at the fest?,,,,like bill said in an earlier post [
Fall - everyone is gonna play, focusing on development not winning etc....]..my opinion is ,why would you enter a PAID TOURNY just to develop,,,,Amish,,,brush up on your ASA rule book,,the fest tourney uses ASA rules. And it could also be the michagan outlaws,,but maybe it is the ill outlaws,, anyhow--sure these kids are still developing in softball,,but most have been playing travel ball a few years..amish,,you have a good record of somewhat,,dont go in so negative..you are not the only 1st year 14's at the fest,,,,,the old raiders black had beat some good teams last year and they in return got beat,,the ill outlaws i think finished 3rd in the chicago metros last year and were tough,,if it is the ill outlaws this year at the fest [ their core of girls along with the old raiders black core of girls] should be some good games this weekend,,,south bend tidal waves,thunder,twist,fire and lazers,,all good teams

Wagner so if the Outlaws are the combined Raiders/outlaws team is the Raiders team playing their 14u from this past season?

[Wagner]

i have no clue about the raiders team........i only know that it is the IL Outlaws coached by McConnel that will be playing. i have a friend that coaches 1 of the 3 14u teams that the IL Outlaws have this year and he is the one that told me this.

New rules at the B B FEST this year in regard to age, So if any team that is 1st year 16's wanting to play in the 14 division,,thats fine as long your birthday coinsides - be warned rite now..same thing goes for 12's,,,any buddy with a girl thats B - DAY dosent jive will be eliminated,,so possible forfeits might happen,,,and this might be you,,,i'll be there checking rosters close. ,,come on coaches,,just because that 1st place Trophy is 4' and blue dosent mean you can stack the deck,,but honestly now,,the only teams that dont realy play in there new age goups are the weaker teams anyway
