12U State Games and Updated Info.

[sofbal1234]

The win it all statement was mine, not SOFBAL1234's.... i was beat ass tired and didnt even realize i wrote that, thats what happens when you hang at the pool until 1am with other teams having adult fun and have games in the morn.... then drive home... my bad, shoot me now

Good lookin out BIG DADDY Thanks for manning up to that!!! It could have got me a lot of rife from some crazy cowboy here on the bucket who seams to only want controversy
@ Juice... Awww Danggg!!! Sounds like someone went into that game a little too cocky ehh!!!?

More than likely last few days of Nationals will be like California states anyway

Thats not a safe assumption to make. The TPS 98 team last year held their own with some very good 97s. Dont overlook the Georgia and Texas teams that will be there, or you just may find yourself having to settle for some of that good southern BBQ after your two bracket games.

We all know that TPS 98 is coming from Texas. The difference at the 12U level has always been our (So Cal teams) ability to play defense and manufacture runs. From what I've seen from the Texas teams is that they're not deep (typically rosters of 10 or 11 girls) and are dependent on their sticks being hot and pitchers shutting down teams via the strikeout. Balls in play over the course of a tournament usually translate into lots of errors for those teams.

You said almost the exact same thing last year. Are you forgetting that it was a Georgia team that came in 2nd last year? They beat SD Aztecs and 3rd place Anderson-Sota. TX Redhots finished 7th, Team Mizuno beat 3 good SoCal teams in the losers bracket to finish 9th, Texas Glory knocked out two SoCal teams to finish 9th, and ATL Vipers took down two SoCal teams to finish 13th.

I dont think you and OCBB have as much to worry about as the other 10 coming out of SoCal, but they should not assume this will be all SoCal on Saturday and Sunday.

With nearly 20 So Cal teams in the field, it is probably a safe bet that you could beat a So Cal team. I just sayin!

I hope these 12u girls have better reading comprehension skills than many of their parents, or they will have no chance at college scholarships.

This really could be the year that a NON so cal team wins nationals. With teams like TPS98, 98 Ohio Lazers Red, 98 Atl. Vipers and 98 Worth Cobras its anyones game. All 4 of those teams have as good a shot as any team from So Cal. Didn't I read that the Lazers beat OCBB like 10-1 awhile back............I wish I was going to be there just to watch. Not looking forward to the 120 degree weather in Midland But the southeast is so humid temps will feel like 120 in Bama too!
