This is the kind of debate that I've been waiting for all year. Is anyone else shocked at the lack of action on these poll threads?

Sounds like a Slammers fan is having a hard time dealing with this weeks results. I understand. I am a Chicago Bears fan and I bring up the 85 Super Bowl win every year. :lmao:

So what you are saying is Lasers are a Big Ten School, and the Slammers are in the SEC. This weekend it seems that the Lasers Red team was the better team, and isn’t that what the poles are for. Are the people voting just going to look at this as a fluke? Hasn’t that Laser beat some good teams this year also? Next thing we will be putting a BCS computer on the rankings.

Let's not let the poor behavior exhibited by the adults at the field carry over here. We need to be better role models for our young ladies. When we win and when we lose. Congratulations to Lasers Red.

Don't think anyone can say that either team is decisively better than the other. But while the Slammers have appeared invincible at 14u, Lasers Red proved that they are NOT ... and also proved that they belong in the conversation regarding the best 14u team in Ohio, perhaps the Midwest. This is not to take anything away from the Slammers, I would not bet against them, but I wouldn't bet the Ponderosa on them against Lasers Red either, as I probably would have BEFORE this weekend.
Two great teams, who played close games, about as close as it can get. Getting two wins "on the field" trumps all else though, at least for the moment. Most "respect" a worthy competitor, and also know that tomorrow is another day, that can be different. A good competitor acknowledges "the most recent history" with a tip o' the hat to the victor, and patiently awaits an opportunity to "reconcile" .... how about in the ASA Final in a few weeks? Data points on the learning curve.
It's all good - two GREAT teams at the pinnacle of 14u, with a debate over who is a micro-hair better. And, there are others out there that would enjoy the opportunity to play either of them also. Just a game.
