this is what i said it's not gold but is 18s goes to show you they have no trust in that team, where is it im talking about your so called pitcher last time i even said anything about that pitcher i got a five page letter written about me to alll of aasa parents (lmfao) so for your info i wasnt talking about you pitcher, what i was refering to was their pitching staff

I thought LM coaches handled themselves very well in retrospect. They did not have a 14 person roster and picked up a ringer they had 11 and one sick if I am correct. They did not pitch the "ringer" for all games but for when they needed rest for their other two. I have always thought they handle and coach with a lot of class. If they were truly picking her up to win, they didnt play her that way. Atleast from what I saw.

If the 14 grapes had picked her up, they wouldnt have had to play against her...so...

My take , is bring it on...she was legal age to play in that tournament, I want to play the best, winning aint winning if you havent been tested. A lot of teams got some pretty sweet seeding ...but if you aint tested you didnt get your moneys worth.

Not sure who you think got some pretty sweet seeding. It seemed like all the pools were equally strong with the exception of maybe 1 or 2. So it sounds like an excuse to say "A lot of teams got some pretty sweet seeding." With 48 teams in a tournament, teams are going to be matched up with the best teams at some point and be "tested". As far as having class, that is left up for opinion. Many coaches and parents around don't agree with that and actually think the opposite. Smug, arrogant, conceit. But to each their own.

No excuses , draw is a draw...but if your saying there isnt luck in the draw you are full of it...in any large tournament with deep brackets there is luck in where you place/seed, especially when some top teams knock each other out..., There is also skill, perserverence, great ball played in those that make it to the end...not taking anything away from anyone, but I know when our team gets lucky and I know when we are on a tough road...and if you are saying different your full of it!

As far as not agreeing...cool....I like playing Lady magic...great games and great coaches, thats been our experience...No prob you dont agree...its all perception anyway

Leading up to this tourney I had heard that LM 14's had picked up a few players for this tourney. I doubt I will say anything positive about this team in the near future. Seems as though they are pretty desperate these days to stay competative. I had them as a good young team in the fall, but they are struggling right now and picking up players that probably dont belong. Really, in the spring , you need to win that bad? Silver bracket? Guess that backfired. LM organization is better than that IMO. Sorcerers in Silver bracket as well? In the words of Floyd Mayweather Jr " STEP YA GAME UP!"

As the president of the Lady Magic Softball organization, I will respond by saying this:

"The Lady Magic Softball organization has a very strict section of our bylaws with regards to the recruitment of players, including single event "pick up" players. This section of our bylaws goes above and beyond both the letter and intent of any governing bodies rostering regulations and was formulated to insure the integrity, both internally and externally, of all Lady Magic teams and the Lady Magic organization. It is very specific in when, how, and where players may be added to our rosters and the procedure to do so, including approval of one or more members of the executive board of directors.

In this instance, all of the regulations and procedures spelled out in our bylaws were followed and the team was allowed to add the player for this single event, based upon the consent and conditions prescribed by the players regular permanent coach. That consent was obtained and those conditions adhered to.

Coach Sue has a long history within our organization. As a player she helped build the tradition, history and integrity we value so highly. As a coach she is giving back and passing that legacy along to a new generation of Lady Magic players. I have the utmost confidence in Sue, Rick, James, Derek and Mikel and they have the full support of the Lady Magic Softball organization."

And just to be clear, the mission statement of the Lady Magic Softball organization, which is always our guiding principle:

"The express purpose of the LADY MAGIC GIRLS SOFTBALL organization is to provide young
women, through competitive softball, the opportunity to develop the personal attributes and life
long skills needed to be responsible adults. The organization seeks to integrate the values of a
competitive softball program into the social maturation process by providing a positive
environment in which to nurture a players’ self confidence, respect for self and others, leadership
skills, sportsmanship, and responsible citizenship. It is the organizations’ goal that every Lady
Magic player develops life-long friendships and a love of the game of softball. Lady Magic softball
seeks to provide a program that develops the abilities and attitudes that lead to a productive and
mature adulthood." - Jerry M. Saulter, 1981

It never mentions winning softball games.

I glad you were able to get a good pitcher for your team.

I have no doubt she is good.

My question is could she develop better at the lower levels. I feel there is nothing better than success for the development of a young pitcher. I believe it is silly for a 13/14 year old child to be around 18 year old women. There is a lot different subjects being discussed in the dugout of 18U teams

I didn't say anything about the draw...YOU DID. I responded to what you said about ALOT of teams got lucky, which didn't seem true to me. Does the draw make a difference...definitely can but bottom line is that whoever makes it deep into Sunday is playing some of the best teams in NOR CAL and some from SO CAL. Looking at the bracket it still looks like the Pools were matched up well for the most part. There were a couple of pools that were weaker.
