As I have heard, 'Nothing can substitute experience'. Lyn played college ball so she knows exactly what is going on out there. If you ask me she is just as good as Campbell, without the yelling.


Has Lyn ever won any national title at any division?
Not that you have to win nationals to be a good coach, I'm just curious?
Most likely many other coaches fall into this category, "good coach but never won the big one".

The Jets beat everyone that showed up to play.
It's not their fault the field was weak.

11-3 over Mystics '93
9-0 over Strike Force
5-2 over the Lady Hawks
3-1 over Victory USA '93
10-0 run-rule over American Athletics RSM
9-2 over the OC Wildcats

The Jets never even came close to losing.

Bold statement calling the teams the Jets beat Rec. Teams. Don't open your mouth to much. When you get to Nationals, I'm sure some Rec. Team will shut it for you. Where did they play anyway?

Hey Newb. Jets is an established program that has been around for over a decade and is a regular at Gold nationals.

Programs that many of you "youngers" celebrate are non factors at the Gold level. FYI.

Excuse the rec ball humor.

On a related topic when the players striked in football back in the 80's and SCABS filled rosters, did you really see them as the Dallas Cowboys when they were running the wishbone offense? Call yourselfs whatever but you can't change the roster!

Actually her team won in Park City last year.
If you really want more proof just go to their website and look at all the championship pictures they have, they really show them off.

Well I heard there was a good friendly of some of the top teams this weekend that Victory (Campbell) Held...............And of Course the Jets got their a$$e$ handed to them again. pretty different when you play the big dogs huh? So go ahead and post " friendlies don't mean anything"...Technically they don't, as far as recogntion, awards, Etc,,,,,,However, they mean everything when you see your team get broken down, and down , and down....Until like a wild horse, their spirits are broken, and when that happens and it comes time for the broken horse to run wild.....They are lost and confused.....Poor jets.......Y'all like the horse analogy huh? I reckon I just used that, being that nationals is in Texas....I'm just joshin y'all!!!!!!! But yeah them jets gonna get fit to be tied!!!! They will be all whomperjawed dad gum it!!! But, that's a whole nuther thang!!!!

14U DREAM TEAM

I'LL TAKE THE LEFTY PITCHER ON VICTORY USA.
SHANNON HAS A GUN BUT DOESN'T BLOCK THE BALL WELL BRITNEY FROM VICTORY IS A BETTER CHOICE.
AND I'LL TAKE THE SPEEDY OUTFIELD OF THE OC BATBUSTERS. HAVEN'T SEEN ANY QUICKER THAN THAT TEAM AS A WHOLE.
MIX THAT UP WITH A LITTLE LAKEWOOD AND CORONA ANGELS AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.
