I believe there was an attempt about 4 years ago to Crown a National Champ! The 1st year of PGF (can't recall what it was called the 1st year) they had So Cal A's go to Florida and ESPN televised the game. They played the ASA 18U Champion and unfortunately it occurred in the Fall and both teams had lost their Senior's.
All I can recall is that the commentator was a coach from some SE college and all he would talk about was the ASA Champ team and about how great all their players were and all the big time colleges they were committed to! He had nothing to say about the SoCalA's and anything about their players.
He was so biased, that it made me so happy when SoCalA's beat up the ASA Champion and schooled them with some very basic 1st and 3rd execution steal plays. One of the 1st to 3rd plays had a very slow catcher stealing 2nd without taking an out!
