What is the weakest 12U...

[Dontknownutin]

As a 10U team, the Texas Glory won ASA Nationals in Moline. I think it's safe to say Texas teams can compete with the best, even in California.

Therefore, it is also safe to say Texas cannot compete at the 12, 14 and Gold level?

Simply put, California is better at EVERYTHING!

AS IF...Cal hasn't a clue how to boil, fry or stew.

I honestly don't think we have to wait until Nationals to prove anything. Texas Glory won 10U nationals last year. When will it happen again? Not in a while. Why? California has better competition, better coaching, better weather, better teams. Simply put, California is better at EVERYTHING!

Playing in cow fields using rocky mountain oyster softballs can only take you so far.
So YEEHAW your a$$ on over to AFA or NFA where a "National Title" may be easier to get.

I remember playing a few Texas Teams at Nationals a few years back. Can anyone say "UGLY MERCY"?

That's because states don't cook, silly.

As a 10U team at Nationals we beat from Californai Corona Angels (13th), Victory USA (7th), California Rebels (17th). These were the best California had, excluding the Nemesis (9th). Vipers (9th) we beat 6-10 times last year, never losing to them, but beat the Nemesis.

From Texas, we played the Batbusters (25th) & Austin Stars (17th).

We beat the Georgia Impact (3rd) 3 or 4 times last year, never losing to them.

We beat the Falcons about 50% time that finished 13th.

We beat the Thunderbolts 6 or so times never losing to them and they finished 7th.

In 2007 we played the 3rd place, 7th place, 2- 9th place teams, 13th place, 3 - 25th place teams, 33rd place team many times in 2007 and posted approx. a 30-5 record agaisnt these finishers at Nationals. The only losses in 2007 to these teams came from the 13th place finisher.


So for 12U in 2008 & 2009 I agree with Gone 2.6 that you better pack a lunch because the south is ready!!!!

Hey comet16,

Good luck at 12U but man you need to realize that 12U is a different ballgame than 10U. After watching softball for the past 20 or so years I can honestly say that I don't think California has ever done so poorly at 10U nationals. It honestly makes me wonder if their best 10U players didn't stay home for 12U nationals.

The south is stepping up their game but they need to keep their egos in check and let the girls prove it on the ball field and not make enemies before game time. California has MANY tricks up their sleeves.

I'm not real good in geography...but didn't we give California to Mexico? Or is it vice versa?

I know. I just enjoy getting those other states tick'd!

Although i have to admit, you can't claim you're better than California if bulls balls are a cuisine in your state.

This kind of popping off almost always comes from So Cal teams that spend the first week of
August unpacking after another failed trip to Utah.
