Best 12U Teams in NTX

[Papa Smurf]

You can see the results on VTD from Rockwall this weekend on how Aftershock 98 does when using only 98's.

Gotta play well to get third, no matter when or where.

I also wonder why 98 Glory Allen wasn't placed in the A pool. I did see that they placed 3rd this past weekend in Mckinney. Some surprising results from the other 98's, no FB or Fusion placing. But it looks like the current trend of the 98's playing up in 14U tournaments seems to be here to stay until Nationals.

As far as 98 Rip there still around but without there #1, just must not be playing alot of the local 14U tournys. And as far as the Tomboys, by the looks of VTD are content with playing 12U. "Still looking" since they are trying to recover from losing there #1 & #2 pitchers. I see ribbons but playing 99's & 00's?! And Vortex ANOTHER new 98 team, since we don't have enough played Mckinney 14U but there not ready. Even with Tomboys ex pitchers they didn't win a game. Were thoroughly dominated by Fusion 10-1 as well as a loss to Fb 4-1. Speaking of FB, 9 runs in 6 games?? Need to step it up if they are to be mentioned in the group of top n. tx 98 teams. But the quality 97's were in attendance and played like they should, its still early in the season...

Fusion played well and are very impressive. They had a tough draw unlike Glory Allen. The other 98's struggled all weekend. Fireballs got beat 9-2 to 99 Glory. They went 1-5. Vortex struggled all weekend going 0-6. 99 Glory is impressive. They appear to be 99 pure and can play ball. It is still early will be interesting if playing 14U will pay off in the end once nationals start. Have to give respect to teams sticking with all 98's/99's. Anyone can post as a 98 or 99 but bring in ringers that are 96's & 97s so they play better in 14U. they can't carry you in nationals - When it is all said and done it will be the same three - Allen, Fusion and Kyser. Right now Fusion is the best hands down.

BB Rhine has beaten all three of them this Spring...

The game really changes when you get into 14U. Errors cost runs and you can't afford it at this level. Many of the 97's capitalized on the 98's errors.
I agree Fusion looks good. They beat FB 4-2 on Sat. and tied them 2-2 last weekend. I think both coaches would point to errors being the difference in both of those games.
Fusion almost beat Elite 97 on Sunday morning. Score 10-9 with bases loaded one out. Ended up getting a weird double play on runner interference to end the game. 97 Elite dodged a bullet.

Very true on the errors. It is still early and many teams still working through their errors. Ball is hit much harder at 14U then 12U. It will be woth the ticket pirce to see all of the 12U teams play each other in May and June. New or old or indifferent any team can make a run at the right time - Go Butler!!!! There is plenty of talent and good coaching. Have not seen BB play yet but have always been impressed with them as they have a well coached team. It is 2good not to miss
