Lori is notorious on this board for not knowing what she is talking about.
The Fusion were dropped into the loser's bracket by the Traveler's (Splash) and eliminated by Glory (Elliott) in a close game. The Rapid Fire lost to the Traveler's and the OK Babes, where were dropped into the loser's bracket by the Freedom in a great game by both teams. The Glory '94 were dropped into the loser's bracket by the American Freedom and eliminated by the OK Badside. The Freedom lost to the OK Smoke, who went on to win tournament, in a game that could have gone either way; otherwise, the Freedom finish no worse than 3rd. The Anderson Express beat the Glory (Elliott) and then blew a big lead to the OK Badside in the last inning; otherwise, the Express finish no worse than 3rd. The Traveler's went extra innings with the OK Smoke in the last game of the winner's bracket.
In otherwords, in 14u, there were no surprises. There are at least 10 teams that can beat anyone on any given Sunday. It is going to be a wild summer in North Texas, and I suspect that no team will consistently dominate.
