Which way will she go?

[Norcal Iceman]

Wilson - take notes on what the last three posts said. Nobody is running from anybody. You shouldn't comment about something that you have no clue of.

There are good reasons Sarah's teams are one of the top 12U teams if not THE top 12U team in Norcal year after year and its not from following the crowd.

This doesn't surprise me as the Norwood team has shown little interest in playing anywhere were the top 10 teams are playing. They have lost two players so far this year and own have posted additional try-out on HB. The two tournaments they played in were a combination of 99 and weaker 98 teams. Thay have two championships but as was said early they knew they would win going in.

Now your talking trash about someone else. So if a team doesnt join Gary's tournament,they are running away. Look at her schedule and see if you know any other 12U team that is traveling that much......

The yankees dont travel that much.

Is this what the NorCal board has fallen to, worrying about where one team plays an early season tournament? Are they the defending National Champions? Are they even the best NorCal team in their age group? Or is this parents of the team attempting to give them more pub than they have earned to this point? I can't imagine why anyone not affiliated with them would care if they spend the weekend in Stockton or Sacramento.

Sarah does a good job of following what her mother did in the sense that she exposes the young ones to not only good competition but, she exposes the girls to Oklahoma City which now with Premier might be for most girls a once in a lifetime experience to be able to play in the HOF Stadium, I know my DD will never forget it. She introduces them to the FUNDAMENTALS of the game, which should be priority #1 at 11 yr olds. She exposes them to being CHALLENGED by their teammates as well as by the coaching staff.

Sarah plays a style of game at 12's that if you have a athletic team, can be very successful. Will she be a National Champ, there is only one of those each year, and it is not real easy, takes more than athleticism to win it all. She makes the most out of the 15 to 18 girls that show up to tryouts, its not like Corona Angels where you have a 100 kids show up to a 2nd YEAR 12U tryout and you cut kids who would bat clean up for a NorCal team. Does Sarah have the best team in NorCal, who the heck knows but, they sure do have a up and comer in the circle.

I would not be too worried about where this 12's team plays BUT, if you want to be challenged and get ready for Nationals, you might want to look at her schedule.

btw, the Yankee's have 81 road games

Sarahs Team doesn't have time to dodge people they just play the game the way it is supposed to be played. FAST. If they were dodging anybody why have they gone down south twice this year and going to Vegas this weekend.
Hey wilson just so you know they are going to be in the R and R tourney why dont you come and play the best and play her team and quit dodging her team but you might have to play 14's.

Time for this thread to end! Who cares what they do! It's freaking March! No impact on where teams go. Play the game and shut up! Great PR for the Grapes though!

Sarah has earned alot of respect thru many years of playing and coaching very successfully.
You came on here attempting to belittle her with your statement, That is a fact. Playing stupid does not justify it.
Fact is if you compared what Sarah knows to what you know you would probably end up looking like a bat girl.
