Didn't RR Gold win the tourney? Was this during Pool Play?

Yes, Congrats to both RR & Sorcerers for winning their respective tourneys. But it needs to be pointed out and with all due respect, there's no comparison between their victory. You need not look any further than the level of competition between the two teams. RR played 2 games (against some mediocre teams except for Fresno Force) and are in the ship. Sorce clearly played against top caliber teams, in a bracket that had more games on championship Monday & easily dominated their competition. That's impressive!!!

Looked like almost all of the top teams were in the Memorial Day Tournament in Lincoln/Sacramento area. At least in the 12's and 14's divisions, didn't get to check out any of the other division games.

Congratulations to Sorcerer 14's for winning the 14's tournament! They had to beat some top teams to get their championship win and did it with no problem. Watched them run rule Storm-Given in the semi's. It was a great game played by Sorcerer. Didn't get to see the championship game but heard Sorcerer did the same against AASA.

Watched a good game in the 12's gold championship with Smash walking away with the 12's win over Hot Shots.

Anytime someone uses "with all due respect" you KNOW whats coming next....some disrespect.

RR Gold Beat AASA and Lady Magic when they won the Grapettes tourney in April. I wouldn't discount their championship.

There were a lot of good games played in both tournaments. Congratulations to ALL the players & teams! The summer season is upon us, even though the weather hasn't acknowledged it yet.
Remember, any given team can beat another, on any given Sunday. From what I've heard from most of the younger teams, at least those with the goal of Nationals, is each weekend is an opportunity to get better. No point traveling to Nationals if you cannot compete.
And for the 16's & 18's is all about getting seen and signed. It's interesting to see the change in player and parent attitudes as DD's move up. It's no longer about t-shirts, trophies or bragging rights as to who is #1 on the rankings. Parents quickly realize, it's really about the kids!
Keep up all the hard work NorCal teams!

Congrats to RR Gold for winning again this weekend. They beat the Wolfpack 2-0 in the quarterfinals, Silverstreak 2-0 in the semifinals and then took down the Monarchs 1-0 in the finals. Their lefty pitcher was very effective, throwing in the mid 50s and staying low on the corners. Their defense was very sharp, no mistakes and a lot of great plays. Their coach is a bit of an ass, but he must be doing something right.
