12 u top Houston teams for 2010

[CHUCK ROAST]

97 Redhots hands down have the #1 slot in Texas. There is not one team even close to them anymore. Based on what I have seen this year and played most of these teams:

Austins Finest 97: Good team, can get hot but to streaky. Can never get over the hump and compete with the best week in and week out.

HV97: Very nice team, closest 97 team to Redhots from down here in Houston! But Redhots would take 9 out of 10 games from them.

TPS 97: Not worthy of mention anymore.

TPS98: Will be second closest team to Redhots in Houston. Will compete with best in the state and should try and make the trip come next August to Bloomington for 12U Nats. Jodie should have them playing with the big girls on a consistent basis.

97 Kruzers: You have to be kidding me to mention them anymore. Saw them at Nats this year and only (4) girls remain from the original team. Coach had alot of talent but daddy ball destroyed them. Lucky if they are even a team this fall.

Glory 97: Once a great team but has lost it. Head coach has no clue. I mean you go from a team getting 5th at 10U ASA "A" Nats last summer to getting 3rd at ASA Southern Nats this summer with 9 teams? If I was on this team I would be concerned. Alot of talent but zero coaching.

Coach Richard Wines of the 96 Texas Glory You appear to have checked all these teams out very well & I believe you are right on with your comments. Also will you be at the Glory tryouts in a couple of weeks?If so I will see you there!!!!! LATER!!!!

Here we go again, this thread will be at over 200 pages by the end of the year. I think TPS '98 will take their lumps but compete this year in first year 12U but if they build for 2nd year 12U with more of an emphasis on defensive they can make a run at a National Title!

What Texas folks have to learn is to make sacrifices for the team. Everyone and their mother wants a 12U team in Texas and it dilutes the talent on teams.

Great place for a 1st year 12U kid to be!

The TPS '98 is the team. They have everything the Red Hots have and better pitching.

um.........................NO not even close

[Dy No Mite]

LMAO!!! I can't even believe that this is a thread. Why is there even a question about who the #1 team in Texas is? and seriously, to think that anyone but TPS98 will even be able to compete with them is kind of silly. JMHO!!!

Ok, here is my thoughts on this subject. When you mention another team being the best in Texas, or try to compare another Texas team to THE Texas Redhots, just remember you are trying to compare them to legitimately one of the TOP 3-5 teams in the entire country. Just thought I would throw that out there for everyone in a hurry to find their replacement at the top.

Rumor is the Redhots just lost 2 good players.

What I don't understand is how we can talk about this now, when there haven't even been try-outs yet. What if a team like the 97 Fury or 97 Heat or any of the other teams out there not on the list picks up a couple of realy good players or a stud pitcher who puts them over the top. We can't realy ask this question untill a couple of tournaments have been played. Last I counted in the "houston" area there are over 40 team in 12u alone, so how do all of you "experts" know one of them won't have a great try-out and feild a team like the Texas Fury last year. No one mentiond them in the early fall but they made a good showing at ASA nationals this year. All I'm saying is it is to early to be picking the best team

Who is the team to beat in 12 u this year in 2010, of the 97's and 98's?

Hammer, Realy, Spaz Dad, Hot Box, Closer, come out and let us konow what you think.
We have retired our 10u tread and need to get to 200 pages this year and we can stay here for two years.

Can the 97's help us out and tell us who is out there and who is the team to beat.

Someone needs to post the poll we had in 10u here.

We have lost TB24 because he is still in 10u and 14u now i hope it will be as good with out him. heck maybe he will charm in. Really might like it with out him now.

Good luck to all for the 2009/2010 season.

It looks to be a competitive season with the 12U teams returning and the ones coming up from 10U. Only time will tell how it is going to play out and how everyone's tryouts unfold. Most of the 97's will have Volleyball/Basketball to deal with in the Fall. The 97's might be limited to Sunday's only until Jr. High sports are completed. See ya on the field.

I can tell someone with limited knowledge about 12U posted the teams for the poll...most likely someone from a 10U moving up to 12's. Outside of the Red Hots it is questionable .

Have to agree with five 98 teams being in the top ten.
