Congratulations to these teams for a great week, and to all teams that accomplished their goals of showing off their girls on a big stage.
Texas Aces Express McCorkle - 18U Gold was the last Texas team standing and they tied for 9th place out of a 100 or so teams. I would say that is fairing OK.
There were 80 teams in Indy.
I would not classify 4 TX teams in the final 32 and 1 in the final 16 as fairing OK if you are looking at the overall picture.
That's exactly what I was saying. Of course there are still some elite top level teams in Texas but it's my belief that in general, overall, the talent is down this year in Texas. I'm not just talking about Colorado either. I have seen a lot of average to below average teams at all the qualifiers this summer as well. Maybe a product of early commitments? Players who are committed early are now less motivated? Seemed to be a big run over the last 1-2 years on these early verbals.
