scout team wrote:One For The Road, a lengthy response to Bracketologist 12U PRE ASA POLL, dated August 12, included, in part, the following: "No idea what happend to Punishers and USA Athletics (at Nationals). Punishers were out quick and USA ran into the CA98 buzzsaw. They'll both need to regroup and add some additional parts as they enter 14U." It is ironic that you now share that these two teams are joining forces. Both teams definately had some very strong performers. Although neither did as well as expected at Nats, this merger should result in an extremely competitive team and I look forward to seeing them play. The same August 12 response also included a comment that the showing of CA98 at Nats could finally net them the elusive #1 pitcher that onthejuice and softbal234 have been pursuing for the past year. Sounds like softbal 1234 has confirmed that to be true. Come on Peg, who'd you snag?
Should be a fun season! Younger 14U teams are probably going to get beat down for awhile from their elder sisters, but I expect the stronger first year 14U teams will be very competitive by the Turkey Tourneys. See you all on the field.
SCOUT TEAM THIS IS TRUE I THINK HALF OF THE PUNISHERS AND HALF OF USA WOULD BE A PRETTY GOOD TEAM. BUT MY SOURCES TELL ME THAT THE USA HALF OF THE TEAM MAY NOT BE FOR THIS MERGER AND MAYBE LOOKING TO DO THERE OWN THING.1234 WHAT ARE YOU HEARING OUT THERE ABOUT THE 98 TEAMS
Don't assume we recruited her either, she wanted a good supporting cast with BIG BATS to back up her AWSOME pitching. 
Just sayin!!!
I heard that some of the Punishers and USA players are still looking for a team both have solid infielders. Maybe you can pickup one or two before someone else does.
