Rankings are never going to perfect, even asking the coaches to do a weekly poll, you are always going to have some sort of error within the rankings.... nothing like throwing me to the wolves before the season starts in Ohio though, we have a lot of work left to do.... saw some great 12U teams this Fall, According to this list we have faced Top 50 Nationally Ranked #1, #4, #14,#22, #24, #25, #30, #33, #36, #44 and we also faced the Ace pitcher of #5 on another sister team... so you could say we had a busy Fall.
12U Ohio -- I really like Maz team, I think they are a tough squad, well-coached and fans were cordial and coaches were great and communicative. Lasers Orange & Stingrays 08 are going to duke it out as always beating each other up, I love watching/following those games, both teams are top notch.... Wolfpack will be strong & tough, always thought they were the most fundamental team I ever played against and well-coached and now adding Albertson, just wow.... Storm 08 games are always nail-biters as they keep my team at bay on the basepaths, hitting spots and timely hitting always strong for them. Hawks Ford may be the most complete team from top to bottom. They have depth in pitching and can beat you multiple ways. Great relationship with Hawks Hutch and his team of athletes just find a way to get it done, another fully loaded team... Finesse Munoz/Ice Blue will be looking for a rematch from our earlier contests from earlier years, those teams are really good, Finesse HOF we barely squeaked by in the Fall in a Friendly, but that team was brand new and Musser will have those guys ready next time they face us. Thunder 08, SGS 08, Thunder Elite 08, Dooms, etc will all be in the mix too.... My in-state rivals in the 09 class will be the Emeralds, Rays, Barnett, King, SGS Hall, Black, Outlaws, All really good and looking to knock us off.. Sad to see a lot of the top 09 players in the state have left for teams outside the state, but I understand.... Good Luck to Everyone!!
