Top 14U teams

[4girlsmom]

Competitive with the big dogs first year 14u teams:
No particular order:

Mizuno-Briggs
SoCalAthletics-Quarle
Corona Angels 99
Batbusters - Mcgown

its amazing how little respect the 12u national champions get. the powersurge 99 team gotta be mentioned with anyteam thats a 1st year 14.

Quarles team is the 12u National Champions (PGF)
No disrespect meant..just an opinion

[JustPlayTheGame]

Last year PS 99 beat Firecrackers Quarles to win SoCal State
PS 99 also won 12u ASA Nationals

And it appears the team has only gotten stronger

[Dugoutdirt]

A list to start with: Quality 14U SoCal Teams that we have seen:

Team Mizuno-Young
So Cal Athletics- Quarles
Power Surge99
So Cal Wicked98 - Mastrobueno
Team Mizuno-Granado
Case Batbusters
Firecrackers-Lutterloh
OC Hawks
USA - Catania
Quakes - Lindsey
Artesia Punishers 99
Rampage
Batbusters - San Diego

These are some good ones. I also would include So Cal Athletics-Natividad, Corona Angels-Perez, Breakers-Williams. We haven't seen much of OC Batbusters-McGowan, but I expect they will be back at full strength in the spring.

Dude, for the most part, you are stuck in 99 La La Land on the So Cal front. There are several very good 98 teams that have not played a single 14u game the entire fall because they are playing 16/18u, and those teams will continue playing 16/18u until the HS season and will only start playing 14u when HS ball is over and it comes time to qualify. The only teams on your list that belong there: Mizuno-Campbell, FC-Brashear, OCBB-McNee, and Mizuno-Briggs.

Hey coach Ed I completely agree, the good 98 teams aren't playing 14u and are playing 16s.

[coachEd]

The downside this fall for the 98 class has been the disbandment of too many good teams, including:

American Athletics 98-Miles
Cal Lite-Flores
Mizuno Pride 98
OC Batbusters 98-Espalin
San Diego Aztecs 98
So Cal Choppers 98-Vannoy
USA Athletics 98-Schultz

Plus, Pure Fastpitch-Martinez (formerly Team Rawlings) moved to 16u, so that is another good 98 team off of the 14u poll. Anybody know if So Cal Madness 98 or So Cal Choppers Black-Fitzgerald are still around?

Many of the players from the disbanded teams listed above have been picked up and spread around some of the better 98 teams playing 16u this fall, such as OCBB-McNee, the Mizuno Teams (Campbell, Briggs, Granado), or the FC 98 teams (Brashear, Roman, Contreras). Some moved up to true 16u teams. So the number of good 98 teams may be less this year, but the level of talent on those teams that remain is higher due to the concentration of better players from the disbanded teams.

One of the consequences of moving 14s to 43'?

I believe the so cal madness broke up and disbanded and so cal choppers Fitzgerald disbanded also but to more under a new coach....not sure the coaches name though but saw them at a few showcases and looks like the same kids.Where did the Aztecs go?
