NorCal Top 12U Teams

[Dozerdog]

James, I fear that I would put an unfair target on my DD and her team since it's not a secret who I am or who she plays for. I have my thoughts but you and I both know how sensitive parents are. So I will just say this- Right now the team playing the best in my opinion is the NC Firecrackers. They are destroying the ball with 4 girls that can go yard in any at bat. Anyone who does a ranking and has them #8 is uninformed. I believe the top 5 are. Firecrackers,LTG,OBS,Sting and Storm-J. After that is a group of teams that are just a tick below. Force-Rod is right there with the top 5 in my mind. But Fresno is not in NorCal so I wouldn't put them or CenCal Dirtdogs in a NorCal ranking.

Loosen up everyone..
1. Why Storm.. well they are the only ones that I could find that have played in a tournament. I got a chance to see a little of Sting play SS (J) during a friendly and Sting looks really good. Until they play in a tournament then they will not break my top. Besides, the season just started. Not too sure why anyone is bothered that a team was lower or higher on the very first post. Who knows, my list may change every day…. JMO

2. @411norcal. True, again I am sure this list will change a great deal after this weekend. Unless you were using my list for betting reasons, relax.

3. @BeastMode
a. SS(J) over LTG – Unless they have a different team, you just beat them in a tournament, right?
b. Firecrackers – I don’t know how good they are until I see them.
c. Sting – I only got a glimpse of the game vs. you and it was not looking good when I left, but I am sure you will be ready for the next meeting and again it was a friendly. So I really do not count it.
d. OBS and SS have had a few good friendly’s and they seem to be about equal from what I hear, again it’s just a friendly.

4. Just relax everyone; I am not here to hurt your feelings. Just giving my 2 cents. I don’t care how good a team is they always have a chance for that one loss on Sunday vs. a team that has zero wins.

Good luck to all this weekend

Heard a TON of how good Bownet is yet I've not seen much from them. Anyone know whats up with them and why they didn't make the list?

Props to Salinas Storm-J! Final 4 at St.Paddy's in Vegas.

Great job to all the Nor Cal teams. Seen some great softball out in Vegas this past weekend. Nor Cal definitely made a statement out on the field, especially San Jose Sting and Salinas Storm. Both played very well against some prestigious organizations. Both finished in the top 10. Great Job! Looking forward to following these two teams this season.

I wouldn't say a great weekend for NorCal but a good and great showing by 2 teams that play a lot in NorCal. Fresno is CenCal. But I would say good job to them. Is Salinas NorCal? I'm not sure. But also Great job to the Storm! I would say the top NorCal teams under achieved on sunday.

[Dozerdog]

Sorry, forgot about San Jose Sting. Represented well.

[Softballmom45]

I agree Fresno Force which is Cen Cal played well. The ranked Nor Cal teams didn't do as well as expected but still played decent. I know Storm isn't nor Cal just threw them in the category because their usually in the Nor Cal mix.

Wow Weekend!

Salinas Storm finishing 3rd

Foothill Gold over Breeze and Breeze over Firecrackers

Bad timing for OBS to go cold but sure the will bounce back.

It seems there will be a battle throughout the year with these teams.
Salinas Storm, SJ Sting, OBS Monarchs, LTG Lions, Foothill Gold, Ca. Breeze, Firecrackers,
Potential: Team California,
