What has happened here? Where are the good teams? Seems that Metros and Nationals are on the way out. Premier, Western Nationals and Triple Crown seem to be where it's at. ASA better start paying attention. I hear the Stockton Metro is worse. Is Sacramento still sending two teams to Nationals?
The Breeze, AASA, Comets (white) and Grapettes have an easy road to the Final Four. The Comets and AASA should be a classic battle. Breeze should cake walk unless the Grapes find some new magic. Saw them in Vegas and can't believe this is the same team from Fall and last year's Foothill Gold. I have said before that I really liked this team and have tried to talk my DN into trying out for them. Now, after seeing them, I am glad she went to where she is playing now. Daddy Ball rules the roost with this team. I saw no unity, no coaching, no hustle, no spirit. That being said, even though the Grapes are underachieving, they still have as much talent or more than the other three teams I mentioned and thus can win the whole thing too. Breeze, Comets and AASA have veteran coaches who have been there and know how to work talent.
I am sad that so many great teams won't be there in Lincoln, however, it could be a real preview of 2013 with all '98 teams playing this weekend. Final prediction:
1. Breeze
2. Comets
3. AASA
4. Grapettes
See you this weekend!!!!
