TShun.......

First look at it...... ddogs down, smash, kg and Stompers all lil up and Grapes-Accuna top #8....

Maybe add OBS, sting98, cal nuggets or usa shockers to the 20-25 mix....who knows???

Where did we miss the bus....... Maybe 99's (breeze) team I don't know? hum?

It is pretty hard to even guess at some teams until you see them come out and play on the field.

The thing I LOVE about starting with a new team is even as the coach, you just dont know EXACTLY how the team is going to perform. That is what makes the game fun.

Seeing how at OBS it is my philosophy for teams/players/parents/coaches to actually take a break, we wont even really start practicing until mid Jan. So I dont even know what our 14u team will look like....... but I do know they will look very different than in Fall:)

[GameTime23]

Good luck with your 14's Corey....seems like the one age (98's) group OBS has been lil hit or miss with over the years....Best of luck to all of your teams this season!!!

Now that we're talking '99s lower down in the rankings, we'll need to see where the teams ended after tryouts. If they stay mostly in tact, I'd put RR Gold and Team CA/Silverstreak neck and neck at the top of the '99 heap with Breeze 99 next. But another team made up of '99s who are on teams with high schoolers will come together and should be strong until they disband and go back to their teams when high school ball is done. Since no one has seen that team yet, hard to rank them but they will be in this top '99 mix.

Having seen the roster that the Sorcerers & Breeze has put together they look to be very good competition for the 14u-99 teams this spring. The Sorcerers have brought in a couple of pitchers, 1 that used to play for KG hitters and the other from old Grapettes St.Dennis team. Breeze landed a NV. lightning pitcher and an old Team CA pitcher. They both look to be Rey good on paper but we will see how it turns out.

Correct. Tenshun props to Grapettes Acuna for rebuilding and putting a solid performance out on the fields this fall.

There probably won’t be too much movement amongst players, but good luck to all the teams reloading their rosters at tryouts.

[GameTime23]

TShun......I agree 110%......added a few Hustle players, Big win in so cal to end Fall season on a positive note and a very good tryout...will need #1 pitching get into the top #5....

Grapes Accuna back in the mix where they belong!!!!

[Blockster]

Props to Grapes-Acuna. Always a well run team, with good players and coaching.

I kind of also like the fact that they went down to so-cal won a tournament and didn't blow up the heybucket spot looking for love. Reminds me of a quote:

"When you get in the endzone, act like you've been there before."

[Iluvblue]

Thats funny...... when I was coaching at Oakdale HS and we won our first section, I sat on the bucket and watched our girls celebrate. Not because i wasnt happy for them, but because I expected them to win the entire time.

If you are a good team, you expect to win no matter who you play, and only by experience of beating those teams will people realize that not all socal teams are great. They have bad teams down there just like we have up here.

[GameTime23]

Blockster.....sounds like AASA hate....and how many teams really winning down south?

Mad props to GRAPES/Accuna!!!!

Enough LOVE for all Nor Cal teams that can make that trip down south and represent....More and more Nor Cal teams are doing it now days!!!

Still seems like a lot of money and I would suggest win in Nor Cal first before you make that trip...
