12u 00/01 Winter Watchlist by Louie UPDATED

How did the Grapettes and Storm do this past weekend? I personally saw Hype and Lady Magic play and they seem to be better teams than those two you have ranked ahead of them. I am So Cal person so I don't see them like you all do but in Vegas neither of those teams looked top tier to me.

8-10- rapids,team california, obs cat,

I understand its early in the season but these r the teams that have showed they been ready to play.

There were no top 98 teams there they were all playing 16, and heard that AASA team was a 97 team playing down since they still could play 14s

They were a 97 team playing down some times thats what u gotta do if u cant compete at the nx level go nor cal

here is what is wrong with Nor Cal....

We have a team who can't even get in top 20 in Las Vegas in their own 12U division, yet come back to Nor Cal the next week and play in the local 14U ASA tourney???? Grapettes - K. I guess this is what the local tournament host meant by "Quality over Quantity"....ridiculous. Anything to make a buck.

Does this mean they cant win a game this weekend? NO, just hope no one gets hurt....

WHICH REMINDED ME....see 14U yardsharks 2 weeks ago in ASA trny in Folsom...what I am hearing sounds like they had a 12U girl pitch for them in a 14U tourney......by end of tourney their 3B was in emergency with a line drive to the head. ( I hope she is ok, havent heard a word). stay in 12U....win in 12U....keep the girls healthy and alive. dumba$$es. hope the parents of that 3B knew their DD's pitcher was a 12U.

There was this team in 18u 3 or so years ago that stunk it up at the first two qualifiers they went to. The third one was rained out and they go an invite(so they got lucky) they went on a run at Premiere and finished 3rd.

You should not try to judge a team based upon one showing at a tourney. One tourney just takes a good draw, luck in one game and some solid play and bam,,,,,... you have a GREAT finish.


The Grapettes team you speak of is solid, and playing 14u right now is not that different. Those 14u teams have no HS kids, so they and the 12u players are basically the same age. So what they did last week should have no bearing on the next weekend. I dont like them playing up, but it has NOTHING to do with their ability or lack of. I just dont like seeing teams play up that young, just not needed IMO, but it is there choice, so why should you care?


But hey, whatever, slam them because they didnt finish 6-1 or some stupid crap. And one team did play well, and you want to crown them. hahah, ok , whatever.

These are young teams, let them play.

Had the opportunity to make it to Vegas and saw some fantastic softball at the 12U level. I was proud to be representing NorCal softball and also saw something you usually don't get to see while playing local tournaments. The NorCal Teams getting behind and supporting each other before, during and after the games. It was awesome to see!! Overall, I would say the Storm and Hype had the best showing of NorCal Teams in Vegas and while it is early, if these two Teams continue to play like they played last weekend, they will be tough to beat.

Like to hear Louie opinion...

Also, NorCal peeps... Don't let 3 bozzo's ruin the SoCal rep...I met some nice SoCal parents this past weekend. 3 opinions that don't know how to shut up. Sounds like anger issues.

Good job! Hype and Storm 5th. Lady Magic 7th, Grapettes -K, Grapettes-E, Monarchs-Cat REPRESENT!
Keep up the good work!

This thread reminds me of Deliverance, except in this case it's the hillbillies that paddled their canoes up North and got lost among the city folk.
