Firecrackers and Victory are really the cream of the crop? I am honestly asking if that is so, how do the Firecrackers get beat in 2 major tournaments and Victory doesn't participate in many of the tournaments? Victory is absolutely talented, but lost to Firecrackers '98, who just lost in their own backyard to Punishers '98???
Can we get anyone who saw the Punishers v. Firecrackers game give us a recap of how the Punishers man handled the #1 team in the state in their own tournament??? I agree with fellow poster.......develop the players you have and don't travel the country to find a player.
There is something called "chemistry." Most good coaches develop this to be successful.
Looks like the OC Batbusters & Punishers are a lot closer to the FC & Victory than first thought.
Does anyone else agree or should I just automatically conceive FC & Victory are the best without winning tournaments or even playing in them??? What about Corona Angels, Team Rawlings, and some of the others who have won tournaments, or even multiple tournaments. These are good teams that compete whenever given the chance. Shouldn't they be given the respect for winning their respective tournaments?
Great Job Batbusters for taking FC to ITB. Maybe you softened them up for the Punishers who slammed the door on the FC in the semi's in their own yard.
Sounds like OC Batbusters and Punishers coaches had their team ready to make statements in this tournament. OC Batbusters v. Punishers sounds like it would have been a good game.
Oh, and lets not forget the Choppers who had a great tournament and knocked out ranked teams and gave the Punishers all they could handle in the Championship.
It was a great tournament with a lot of great players. California will always dominate the softball world and there are plenty of young ladies here ready to find a coach who will take the time to develop them. Just my opinion.
