And we would like to congradulate the Crown Point Bulldogs 99 for being {2nd place} runners up.
Wish ASA wouldn't of prematurely ended the tournament because of the rain. Would've been nice to see these two teams play in the championship game. There was no rain delay just ened the tournament expected some delay do to the championship games were the only ones left to play. The 14U 2nd and 3rd place was decided on a coin flip when they were in a international tie breaker to see who would make it to the championship. Very disappointed in how the ASA officials quickly ended the tournament.
I couldn't disagree more. I came to watch after my daughter's team was eliminated to watch and wish that I hadn't. The storm was scary. If you were there you know what I'm talking about. Hail, probably 50 mile an hour winds, and players and families clamoring into the concession stand to take cover. There was no way they were going to get that field playable and ASA had no choice. The Bulldog coaches did not use this as an excuse and were very gracious. There attitude was that Raiders beat them in a hard fought game in bracket and won winners bracket and therefore earned the title. Coaches for both teams are class acts and should be proud of their performances.
If you want to see these 2 great teams go at it again, go to NSA A State in Indy this weekend. They are probably the favorites to meet in the finals.
