12u Rankings by Louie
I agree the longer teams play together the better they should get. A lot to be said about knowing and trusting your teammates.
Our current Gold team is mostly players from our 14u Grapette team from many years ago. While some of those players left for 1-1.5 years, 4 of them returned this Fall. So out of our 14 players roster, 12 of those kids have played for me for 3 or more years. They get along great, they play together, they know exactly what their role is on the team, and more importantly, they have learned the system that I want my team to play by.
As a result, they will have a good Fall/Summer for sure.

Interesting brackets. Gary placed himself well. Looks like the Hype managed a good bracket as well, I guess they'll stay out of the "bronze bracket" this time around. Bracket 4 looks tough. Glad to see a real tournament kicking off the fall!

Rivals on the dirt last year should be a good game.

Stealing Home,
IMO, you are better off coming out of Pool 4. That is of course you finish in the #1 or #2 spot. It will only give your team more cred if you finish well out of that group. Looking at the current rankings, your team could use a good showing this weekend.
Good luck!!

Just for the record Nor Cal Elite Boykin's team this year is made up of mostly 01 players this year . His daughter is 01 and he has two 00 players returning, the rest of the team just moved up from 10's. Good luck to everyone this fall.

I am sure it was an accident that Ybarra's pool has all 01 teams
I wonder if Spartans are re thinking recruiting his #1 pitcher this Fall. They get to kick off the season with Hype 00, then KG Hitters Top 5 at Westerns and close out W CC Dirt Dogs #2 at Westerns.
I am sure it is also an accident that pool 2 has a 99 team and 3 01 teams as well. Should Gary's team end up 1 or 2 which is what the accidental Saturday pool will probably bring, he will most likely play another 01 team first game on Sunday. Nothing like ducking from the competition... Accidentally of course!!!
These accidental pools happened all last season in 10's why would it change for 12s.

LinedriveLouie, your rankings just got turned upside down this weekend. You need to reassess.
