The Northern Kentucky Bandits (not involved in the poll) played the Dayton Metro this past weekend. It was a very strong field. I couldn't be more impressed with the Wizards 03 and the Vipers. Very strong teams, well coached, and class acts. There's a lot of great competition in OH this year in this 03 class. Week to week, polls will fluctuate with the solid parody.

Well sad, Julie!!!
I'm curious as to why the 12U team had to FF? Did the 14U team FF?
Were they given the option? Sounds like 12U team is going to play in ASA/USA Nationals - so she is def staying on that roster.....Seems like the FF's would have happened in the 14U Division if they were going to happen.
While a couple of teams benefited from this - the losers were the teams who were hoping to compete in the Silver division, now having to show up early to play one, if not the best team, in Ohio & then go home! Too bad for those girls..........SMH

Thunder Elite 04 had an overall record of 2-3 at our own Perfect Storm Tournament. We will continue to plug away and improve this weekend at the Valley Extreme Summer Starter. Here were our results....

Loss vs. Ohio Energy 03
Win vs. Poland Pride
Loss vs. Wolfpack 04
Win vs. Ohio Blast 04
Loss vs. Ohio Blast 03

I will say this. The Ohio Blast 03 that won our Perfect Storm Tournament has a ton of talent. They are going to have a very fun summer.

Sean, you are spot on. I think most of the coaches at 12U, specifically the 03 class, would echo that same sediment. BTW you guys look very good this weekend! Your team really has some great bats!

I appreciate the kind words. You should also be very proud of your team. The Hurricanes are legit. You guys will be a threat each and every weekend. I also enjoy watching teams that are well coached. You have all the boxes checked!
