12 u top Houston teams for 2010

[HAMMER]

RM right around the corner and no one making predictions.... what is up after a great tournament like we just saw I would think everyone's mouth would be watering and the HB would be growing so fast you could not read it all at work. The big four in 12u now seems to be Elite, Sudden Impact, HV, RH. Did they all get in the RM ? Did I leave anyone out that will give them a run in this one ? I don't know the out of town teams coming. Who are the top guns from out of town that will be there ?

[REALLY]

SK IMPACT 98
TX THREAT 98
TX TERROR 12
SPRING STING 12
97 CF BATTZ
97 TX BOMBERS
97 TX HEAT
PEPPERS 98
TX RED HOTS 12
TX STARS 12
TX GEMS
TX STING 97
TX HAWKS 12
97 TX ICE
AUSTIN STARS 12
TX STING 98
IMPACT 97
TX BLAZE 12
AUS STORM 12
HIT AWAY 12
HOU POWER 12
KATY CRUISERS 12
STORM ELITE 97
STROS 98
BALLISTIX 12
SUD IMPACT 12
TX ACES 12
RATTLERS 12
SL SMASH 12

The above is the team list: HV is not in due to District VB commitments I think Gene said he was missing 8 that weekend...

Notable absent teams:
High Voltage
TPS98
TPS97


I'd put money on Sudden Impact, Storm Elite, Redhots and Austin Storm (96) to round out the top 4

Has anyone seen the Stars (from Sugarland ) play I herd they are a top dog this year.

Really beat me to the list
In my opinion the Red Hots are still the favorite to win it all, but it’s not going to be a cake walk. Austin typically has at least one good team but I know nothing about these two. A 96 team
Is there something going on in deer park to keep the TPS and HV out of it this year

[REALLY]

High Voltage is strictly a Volley Ball commitment they were in until the district schedule came out.

I'm pretty sure both Austin teams are 96's as is the Katy Cruiser team. I haven't seen a 97 or 98 cruisers this year

Are you looking already What happend to the francise stamp

Coach put us on wavers #1 batting average was below 500 this weekend and ERA raised a point so we have are feelers out. Might be out in the cooled if we cant get our numbers in line.

There's got to be some reason why softball doesn't consider seeding pool games? This idea has been kicked around since the mid 80's that I can remember. I've only recently seen a few tournaments actually use it. I agree with 22'sdad. I heard of no negativity from the Bomber Tourney. I remember it working out real well! So who's going to be the first TD to grow some giant mountain oysters and do it? It could certainly be a feather in your hat!

The top teams do not like going to a tournment and see the top portion of a bracket filled with the top teams. Then look at the bottom bracket and see weaker teams filling the bracket. The so called " luck of the draw"

The line from Field of Dreams. " If you build it they will come" The coaches and managers need to start putting the pressure on the TD's to start seeding the teams. One way to put pressure is for the managers to let the td's know if they want the teams support they will try the seeding process. Then "we will come" to your tournment.

Other notable teams: 97 Panthers, 98 Panthers, Tx Rage98, They did well last weekend. The 96's must suck to play 12 in the fall.
