Texas Teams at Gold Nationals

Let's post some developments here. Hope they represent Texas well. It should be interesting given the hot temperatures.

I am not in OKC nor do I have a connection. I am picking the Texas Bombers to finish the highest in Texas.

Had the chance to play some but not all of the TX teams going. I'll go out on a limb and pick Rapid Fire to make it the farthest

I will go with the team with the lowest amount of seniors. Some of those kid's minds are in different places this time of year.

Texas Eclipse Gold won their last pool game 5-1
but was reported as a 5-1 loss. They are currently
5-0 at nationals. ASA always fines a way to screw
things up.

That is Tx Impact's straight gold team. They are not that good. Lacking in pitching depth.

[93players]

Not a bad day for Texas teams. A couple of the Houston so called elite teams are in the loser bracket. Fall recruiting should be interesting in Houston.

Undefeated

Aces Express
Houston Power Glowacz
Texas Blaze
Texas Bombers
Texas Eclipse
Texas Glory Gold
Texas Storm Wymer



One Loss

Texas Firecrackers (1-1)
Texas Impact Gold (1-1) - an underwhelming team that claimed to have attracted Houston's best talent last summer.
Texas Peppers Gold (0-1)
Texas Rapid Fire Gold (0-1)
Texas Sudden Impact (2-1)

Eliminated

Texas Glory Lusk - young, too aggressive in terms of base running for the talent.
