Sure, I'm game. I have no dog in this fight so why not?
There aren't a lot of teams that I recognize to be totally honest so it really is a guess on my part.

Top 3 in no particular order:
Anderson Express '93 - I think I have seen them on a list somewhere but never seen them play.
Missouri City Magic - Won Regionals last year after State was rained-out.
GT Shockers (Silsbee) - I assume this is the team out of Beaumont :?: If not, then I would have to re-pick 8-)

Good luck to them all!

I actually don't know about a fourth of the teams attending but i know there will be other teams that will make a run at one of the three berths.

Others (Besides the three listed above)

-Travelers 93 Splash (Never count them out of anything)
-Texas Hawks (Even though its either them or the Express in losers bracket early)
- 93 Elite Mongillo (When bats get hot, watch out!)
- Flower Mound Rage (Can be dangerous)
- Texas Flames (If it is the same team as last years)
- Have never seen them play but from what i understand are definite contenders in the areas
Round Rock Crush, Stix Myrick, Odessa Angels, and GT Shockers (tough team)

Oh this bracket is ugly. There are gonna be some good teams fall early and it is a very long 10 game in 2 day haul for them to make it back to the top.

My Guess would have to be in no praticular order:

Texas Stix - Myrick (sorry I have to be biased)
SC Mean Green
Anderson Express

I do not have a dog in this hunt....


PLUS I do not recognize 65% of the listed teams


That being said - here is my top 3 - in order


1. Texas Hawks - 3 very good pitchers - great defense - big sticks.

2. M.C. Magic - Ron always has his girls playing well this time of year.

3. SC Mean Green - I have not seen them play - but I hear they are good.





PS - I did this w/o looking at the bracket.... so - gain of salt and all!!

The Hawks playing the Anderson Express right off the bat is going to put a GOOD team into the losers bracket early!

My picks for the berths:

Winner of Texas Hawks/'93 Anderson Express game (too many games to fight out of the losers bracket here)

MC Magic (wow, what a dream of a draw, should WALK into third place game)

'93 Travelers

Hawks, Express and Travelers all in same bracket.

Cannot believe some of the RIDICULOUS start times! There are SEVERAL 10:30 PM start times for Friday night with the losers having to be back at 9:30 Saturday morning.

Someone in Longview forgot that these are 13, 14 and 15 year old kids!

I kind of expected them to anyway, BD is right, those girls always play well this time of year. I watched them play in 16u last weekend, granted, a VERY weak 16u but they played an outstanding game in the 'ship with big hits from a couple of girls that normally drag or slap and it ripped the game wide open. They are always fun to watch and I do any chance I can. Of course Ron will get ticked at me now that I called him out :lol:

Hey Campos,

If the girls can't handle the schedule put before them, then they don't need to be playing travel ball. Obviously you haven't had enough experience to see girls playing till after midnight and having to be back at 7am to warmup for an 8AM game.

It is not a rare thing in travel ball!!

Maybe it is just you not wanting to get off your butt after 5-6 hours of sleep to watch your daughter play her heart out!!

NO EXCUSES IN SOFTBALL!!!!
