Is Fusion (Mork) the same team that won in Ft. Worth (Fusion Sidwell) - sorry if I misspelled it?


If so - the tournament is theirs to lose IMO.


My top 3 - in order


Fusion -------> (if this is the same team that won HoF Qualifier)
Shadows
94 Texas Elite (Floyd)




I really hope Montoya's BB's just had a rough weekend in Ft. Worth and are back to playing the way they finished out last year (when they SPANKED us).... 'cause they got worked over pretty well by the Hawks. I have a lot of respect for him and his team.... though I could do with out the balls banging off the metal bleachers.... but I am sure that is just me.

BBlover, don't fool yourself. Montoya has done a great job of getting the team chemistry back together and the girls and parents seem to be having a great time. All that hollaring and ball banging will only get you so far. As for dead weight, I hope you are refering to the coaching change.

You have won 2 semi weak tournaments, with wins that could have gone the other way easily. Good luck, but with what I saw this past weekend and at the HOF Qualifer this team is no where near the team they had last year.

Here are my favorites:

In no particular order...


Shadows
FW BatBusters
Fusion (Mork)
Glory (Elliot)

Crying about the ball banging is just that, crying.

Who is crying - you big baby?


Make a few more excuses why don't you.... hell - I said I have respect for the team (and the Coach) - damn.. I even admitted the put a nice whoppin' on us in Roseville last year.


Take a deep breath -


All I said was that i could do w/o the softballs banging on the metal bleachers..... do you really think i am the only person that feels this way? Get over yourself.

I'm guessing they are putting their faith in metro's??? Fusion-Mork will be coming home from HOF, probably with a berth, and it gives them a 25% chance if they can get by Elite, Shadows, & Fusion- Mendez.

The next question is if Fusion-Mork earns a berth at HOF, will they still play metro's to help knockout teams for thier little sister, Fusion-Mendez.

[play4fun]

Fusion (Mork) is coming off a pretty big high from winning the HOF Qualifier so look for them to still be top shape and win the Qualifier.

Possible teams to knock them out of the winners circle could be Shadows, Glory (Elliott), or Fusion (Mendez).


If Fusion (Mork) secures their berth then I will look for them to skip metro since they would see the same teams and start playing 16U to get ready for nationals. JMO

Brackets are posted and it looks like good match-ups. Every tier has some top teams.

There are typo's and incorrect times for games 25-29, but pretty sure they'll catch and fix tomorrow? Don't hit the print button yet.

The winner of game 25 on Sunday at 8pm has to jump in their time machine and be back at the fields on Sunday at 10am-
