KG Concord won their Metro last weekend as well

Which one? I tried to find them all and knew that I hadn't found KG Hitters Concord listed in any. I saw which teams were signed up for the Oakland Associations but they weren't listed.

I found it through the Oakland website. Played in Hayward

Thanks! KG Hitters Concord over Valley Stompers. I'll include it on the ranking but not sure it moves them up based on the others in the tourney.

The majority of 2000 teams have 1-3 players that are 99's....and in my perspective it's a smart move for them to be able to compete with teams that have all 99's. From my understanding the majority of 2000's that will return in the fall are...

KG Hitters- Tracy
KG Hitters- Concord
Rocklyn Hype
Roseville Heat- Cota
Mizuno AA- Noe
Mizuno AA- Leppanen
Worth Salinas Storm

Thanks Beast.....I do agree that having a couple 99's makes the team more competitive, and I personally have absolutely nothing wrong with it, just trying to gage next year. is Heat Cota's P a 99 or an 00? or do they have 2?

Now the question remains.....Is the Heat-Cota team going to go to Nationals and represent? I think we all know that Extreme wants to go to Premier.

So, who is going to step up to claim the default prize? My guess goes to the org that has money and wants to go? Hype or Breeze 99? Any takers?

Hype has no money and not very good. Breeze takes that spot is my guess.

Stone Parent? lol, or maybe david lowe or ray stone yourself? still eatin at ya huh?

Hype is the '00 team I said was the '00 team to measure up against. I firmly believe that NEXT YEAR they will compete very well. Surprise!!!! they are competing this year just fine. I am guessing here, but as an '00 team I'm sure nationals is not their target.

p.s. What money does it take to play in nationals? LMAO.....small chunk to get in the tournament and a typical family vactation to travel to the nationals.....i would suspect that for parents in rocklin this will not be an issue.

No kids AND no best friends on this team, this is simply an onlooker analysis from what I have seen.

Same boat as you, just an onlooker. MDC results more of a true indication of this team. Rocklin parents - maybe two at most. That organization is dead and this team probably should be taking on a new organzition in the fall - just my thoughts. Maybe a 5th 12u team for Mizuno

Organizations don't make a team....the teams make the organizations. At the 12U level what does it matter...i think it starts making a difference at older 14's 16U and 18Gold...if you can save a few thousand dollars a year being in a no name org..then do it...it's all about reps and competeing with the top organizations....as long as the coaching is good....there is no college coaches looking for 12U players.....the players will get to that level sometime soon...i know some top organizations with worthless coaching....
