What's on your mind?

NorCal Summer top 10 programs

1.Sting-Perales Team is loaded and have one of the top 2 pitchers in the USA
2.Sorcerers-Mumma Great crop of young talent.Can they rebound from poor nationals?
3.Shockers Coaches seem to do the job.Spoilers
4.Sting-Fanno Very good players, will be competitive
5.Grapettes They can hit but have issues at pitching
6.All American Nice team put together
7.RR Gold-Regpala Always ready to go
8.Sorcerers-Pete Pete always does a great job
9.Fresno Force Depends on how many players they can keep from going to So.Cal
10.Lady Sharks-Berrera Decent team..scrappy
NR.Strike Zone After 8 straight nationals...this program has it rock bottom


If LadyMagic was a Gold Team..I would put them as a top7 team

MIH how do you know that she is one of the top 2 pitchers in USA? is there a list or something? i've never heard this anywhere. I have nothing against the girl she can really pitch, i'm just wondering how this is determined.

This is just my opinion. Well, you have Kenzie Fowler on one hand..she's the best and then you have a player who was wanted by every major university. To answer your question really is ask a college coach , any major college coach and ask who are the best two. Can you please tell me in your opinion who is better than Ricketts?

Anything north of the San Fernando Valley. :D

Geography 101 -

- if you are surrounded by tomatoes, cotton, olives, almonds and your second vehicle is a crop duster, you are "central valley".

- if you are about to fall into the Pacific ocean, you are "NorCal". Silicon Valley.

- if you spend 7 hours in a car going 3.9 miles while breathing brown ooze simulating real air you are in "LALA". Silicone Valley.

- if you are next to Shasta, who cares. Not much softball there. Fishing is ok, though...

And... sidenote, NorCal folks lean towards the perspective that anything south of Salinas is "southern California". Fresno is not NorCal and it doesn't appear that they want to be. More power to them. However, don't hint at them being SoCal as it might offend them. Central valley.

This perspective is, of course, totally arbitrary.

Softball Geography 101 - If you don't Frequently win ASA nats in a division not called 18A or (insert age) B , you're not in So Cal.

So Cal= The OC, The IE and anywhere near the 605/Lakewood area. (San Gabriel, Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys along with San Diego have been granted a green card/work Visa).

The rest is either Nor Cal (Bakersfield, Fresno, Ventura County etc) or Arizona (Palmdale/Lancaster, Victorville/Hesperia, Palm Springs).

I will advise all those offended in advance to GAFSOH. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The OC..? You're kidding right?

If you are South of Fresneck, you are from LA. NorCal doesn't really know where the OC is.

Fresno
LA
Mexico

I'm not even sure they recognize San Diego. Been here just under 2 years and can not tell you how many times we have been told "they went down to LA and went to Disneyland". Huh..?

Are YOU kidding? You think anyone involved with travel softball, at least at the ASA level, does NOT know what Orange County is?

ROFL!!!! That's rich.
