12U Top Teams - Bracketologist - Teams To Watch?

[lucky]

At the conclusion of this weekend’s play, you could have two legit B+ teams begging for an A.

But first things first, the OCBB will have to win the TCS championship up in Palmdale and USA Athletics will have to BEAT the Angels, get past the Breakers, and make it respectable with Victory down in Riverside.

Will this be enough to move to an A or only enough to maintain a B+?

Hey Wendy, you gonna be in Riverside this Sunday? I like your style...

Only way to be an A 12u team in 2011 is beat Victory or Firecrackers 98 and look like you can beat the other. A true A team has the ability to beat Victory and FC 98 in back to back games at a tournament!

Note to be a true B+ team - a team must be able to beat all of the other B+ teams (not one but all). Again a run in a tournament beating a B+, B+, B teams - usually equals a solid B+ team!

Hey Bracket when are you going to start your 14u reviews?

As to the 12u I think that the 99's are a stronger group then the 98's I also think the 2000 will be stronger then both 99 & 98. What is your take on it?

You must be a prop 19 supporter. Just a small preview, but probably what those in the '99 circle might consider the # 2 '99 team played an A team and a B+ team last weekend, and came up short by a combined score of 25-0 in the two games.

Stronger meaning larger pool to pick from or bigger, faster, stronger?

If the 98, 99, and 2000 can continue the dominance that the 96s & 97s had at Nationals we'll all be happy.

96s - Power Surge vs Jynx in Championship game and 6 of the top 12 from So Cal

97s - OC BB win Champioship and 6 of the top 12 from So Cal

98s - Victory vs Firecrackers ??? and who else ???

The top 98's had some solid victories in tournaments last year, not just friendlies against top 97 teams that were considered B's and A's. By the showing of the #2 team in the 99 class last week, I'd say the 99's have a long way to go in proving themselves.

Is the 98 class as deep as the 97 class? No, but it's top heavy and the top teams can play with anyone including 14U teams as they showed all last year.
