93 Players.....your assessment comes off as if you were there? I was and have a few issues with your evaluations of these fine teams that made it this far!
Undefeated
Zero
One Loss
Texas Glory Shelton (4-1) - stayed in winners bracket the longest of any Texas team
Texas Impact Gold (7-1) -impressive run in loser bracket; lose the first game and win 7 in a row
Eliminated
Aces Express (2-2) - Seemed to fade near end of season compared to beginning.
(Aces have a very young pitching staff and played well! They will be back!)
Houston Power Glowacz (4-2) - Outperformed expectations due to injuries. (Agree)
Texas Blaze (3-2) - Fundamental coaching errors cost them ITB - swing away in ITB, rather than bunt and squeeze. Power hitters went cold. (We all may not be aware of the decisions that make a coach make decisions)
Texas Bombers (3-2) - Coaching and pitching hurt this team. Too much talent to go down so quickly.
(Coaching? This team may have one of the best set of coaches out there? They seem to really coach there kids to play hard all the time! And my understanding they were down two pitchers , so 17th is solid if that was so?)
Texas Eclipse (5-2) - Glory beat them 7-0, Ca Lite 3-2. Solid performance. (Agree)
Texas Firecrackers (1-2)
Texas Glory Lusk (0-2)
Texas Rapid Fire Gold (0-2) -Two one run losses - what happened? (Sounds like it was tough luck to me)
Texas Peppers Gold (1-2) - Inexcusable infield errors for a Gold team. (They are well coached and solid every year)
Texas Storm-Wymer (4-2) - Solid run, beat by Cal and Ga teams. (Agree)
Texas Sudden Impact (3-2) - Under performed.
