What happened to the Lil Saints 14u? Loss of players or other teams got the talent? What's your reasoning behind the ranking Mad Dog?

No nothing like that, they will still be an excellent team.

Just rethinking that Fever 96 pretty much stays intact , with some nice additions, ( I heard)

Saints are needing to get all the kinks worked out and have posted for some spots...
