Well it's about time someone has stated that!Lot's of hype no results yet,and that has no bad intention towards the girls playing the game they love.Those poll numbers will change once the high school girls come into play.RR Ratcliff and Ladymagic will be a tough solid older group.But their is some very good 98 teams playing now.By the way RR Ratcliff run ruled Sorcerer this fall and Sorcerer is ranked higher! :o

Nice first post.... :D

I don't know anything about the players on the sorcerers, but is there a chance that they have some key players in high school? I think that team played PGF 14s last year, they did pretty well in 16U tourneys last fall, so I assume they're a 2nd year team. (unless they have another team that I'm mixing up). Some teams pick up a player or two to tide them over during the spring if they decide not to go dark.

I don't know anything about their roster, so maybe they just lost girls or had a bad weekend.

As for Sorcerer 14s team, they did play PGF last year and didn't get very far. I was told they only have a couple returners from last years team. So they are pretty much a new team. They have been struggling in all games so far this year, either barely winning or losing so it wasn't just a bad weekend. Still early though. But looks like they are lacking something to get the Wins!

We are very excited about this upcoming summer season when we will have our full team intact after the HS girls return! We have been fortunate to add a new coach to the team (who is awesome and the girls just love) and a couple of IMPACT players to a already solid lineup! I dont know where we will rank on a Heybucket poll but I have no doubt that we will be right there in the mix this summer on the softball diamond!

With 12's and 14's being marathons each year and HS kids not even playing 14's in most cases, these polls are just that, polls. Its not how you start that matters, its how you finish that counts, and what will be interesting is to see what teams improve over the nearly 7 month season, that is where the sign of quality coaching comes into play, and how well the kids improve over that time period with that coaching, as in most cases the top 5 or 6 teams are pretty dang close on any given Sunday TODAY.

Enjoy the younger age's as when they get of "recruiting age", its all biz baby, and every little move you make will be noticed, trust me...



It will be interesting and exciting year as always, and as always keep it fun for your kid......
