Predictions

10U - Team Smith (No brainer)

12U(A) - Cerritos Franchise or Outlaws (heard both picked up some good players recently).

12U(B) - WC Voodoo (heard they beat So Cal Jynx a few weeks ago and have been dominating in 14U tourns the last few weeks.)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

really? wow, which tournaments?

I am not quite sure how they did it. I do know that any team that takes a first or second in any Triple Crown Tournament is put in the "A" Division. I believe the teams that earn a spot by competing in three Triple Crown Tournaments are put in the "B" Division. The team has no control over their placement in the Divisions. Not a case of cheating, just how the spot was earned.

The 10U - prediction is based on the improved performance I heard about Team Smith. Not scientific by any stretch just a hunch.

Artomatic asked what tournaments. Voodoo has has been posting on this web site. They won the (14U) AFA National Qualifier last weekend. They finished either 3rd or 4th in a 18 team 14U tournament three weeks ago. Understand they picked up a good pitcher and couple of good hitters recently.

Hotwheels, Not debating the A Division, just my predictions. Both the Outlaws and Cerritos Franchise have beaten the others many times. In friendlies and in tournaments. I think I give the edge to Cerritos Franchise over Outlaws but don't count them out.

Well, I stand corrected....that was a 14u tournament.

:o WC Voodoo playing on "B" bracket, shame on you ....

I spoke to Travis a few months back. He told me the "A" and "B" divisions in Triple Crown are not like ASA divisions. They are based on how a team earns their berth. The decision on what division a team plays in is totally up to Travis and Triple Crown, the team has little to no input. With that being said

My guesses:

10s - CA Desperados

12A - Revenge 96

12B - W/C Voodoo

I'm the Manager of West Coast Voodoo 12u and for the most part I'm and easy going laid back type of guy. I wasn't going to respond but I feel that it's my duty and responsibility to do so. At this point we're an organization that consists of one team and we've been in existence for a little over a year and a half. Last year we attended the Triple Crown World Series and participated in "B" Division. We did well for a team that had been together for only 6 months (finished 9th). When we returned from Utah we had to rebuild.

We lost 4 quality players due to age and others that moved to what I would consider top notch "A" quality teams (Jynx, Bomb Squad 96 and Raiders). We returned 4 player's from our team that went to Utah. At the begging of this season that left us with a total of 4 players with Travel Ball experience and 8 players who had rec/All Star experience. We struggled early and often from January through April.

Yes we've played many of the "Big Dogs" Jynx, Batbusters,CA Rebels, Corona Angeles, AA's, Cal Thunder96, Raiders, Revenge96 and San Diego Legacy to name a few. Did we beat any of these teams, yes a few. However we lost many more than we won. Our young ladies took their lumps and I'm proud to say they kept their heads held high, continued to compete and never gave up. They gave 110% every pitch of every game. Playing these teams, and as someone mentioned in an earlier post, picking up another pitcher(to go with the quality pitcher we have) with in the last month has made us better.

We qualified for TCS World Series by participating in three TCS Tournaments. Prior to us winning the 14u Mirage Elite AFA Qualifier this past weekend, the best we had placed in any Tournament was second. Are we playing better now, hell yes we are . Are we an "A" team that can consistently compete and beat the "Big Dogs" not just yet. Are we close, Yes.

I appreciate those who think of Voodoo as an "A" team. I think it say's a lot about the pride, determination and effort that our young ladies display on and off the field, in the classroom and in life in general.

Outlaws is not being questioned here.....Which teams on that list that I posted has Franchise beaten MANY times???? Do tell.........Franchise is a good team and my only point was that you were leaving out some better teams.....Either way no biggie......You can be wrong it's ok.......
