12U Spring/Summer Ranking

[Tenshun]

Hey guys thanks for all the feedback and sharing your ideas on the rankings. Lots of valid comments. The rankings aren’t perfect, and it’s difficult to please everyone.

Many thanks to all those who have PM’d me with their support and glad you enjoy reading my posts.

Coachadub-Congrats on going 5-3 and making it to the Gold bracket Central Cal Intensity. Your girls played really well, very classy coaching and parents. You guys travel well. Would love to see you guys again. I hope you all made it back to B-Field safe and keep up the good work.

Would like to get your feelings if you think the top Nor Cal teams could play with top So Cal teams since you have played or scene both? I would say No, from what my experience has been playing So Cal teams in the past.

We actually went 5-1 during the tournament. With one of our wins over AASA, 5-3, that started on Saturday (umpires "officially" called the game after 4 innings, the UIC entered the score in his book, then the TD called that night to inform that there was a mistake and we would have to finish the game on Sunday....and the rest is history) and ended on Sunday. Unfortunately, it was a long, long ride home on Monday. Lesson learned. Thanks for the kind words about our girls, parents, and coaches.

In my opinion (and one that was stated on this site previously), the biggest differences between the top teams in NorCal and the top teams in SoCal is DEPTH and PITCHING. We have played in over 20 games (friendlies included) against the Top 40 ranked teams in SoCal this Spring. Thus, feel comfortable with my statement. Having seen the Smash now, I think they could crack the Top 10 in SoCal. The current Breeze 98 squad would be Top 20-30. The AASA team would be Top 30-40. Have not seen the other top NorCal teams this Spring (except for Grapettes-SN with their #1 in Feb) so cannot rightfully comment.

Again, thanks for the recognition and comments!!

Still in the process of getting updates on this weekends action. There was a few different events going on. Anyone have any updates or want to shoot me a pm on what they saw? Thanks!

Smash took the JO tournament in Vegas...went 6-0...gave up 3 runs all weekend. Had a great game with San Jose Sting, went international and won 3-2.

This is true. I heard also it was a great game. And smash won it.

Great job Smash and Sting. Way to represent up in Sin City. It was OBS over the Stompers in
Martinez Tourny....

[bmxbaby]

that is a great job for Nor Cal teams. I'm wondering when OBS Monarchs and SN Grapes will have a chance to play Smash. According to what I have been reading I think these are the only 2 teams Smash hasn't played. Any thoughts anyone? how has OBS Monarchs been doing?

Monarchs have shown huge improvement over the past month, but dont even wonder how a Smash/Monarchs game would go. Smash would crush them.
