I did receive votes for 2 teams that I believe are out of state teams. The Nitro I know is from PA so I took those votes out and the Lady Bandits (listed in others receiving votes) I assume is the team from NY that played in Spano 2 weeks ago. Is there another 10U lady bandits team from Ohio ?

That Storm '03 team is very solid, as are the Sundogs, Lasers Black & Ice Orange.
It's going to be a fun year to watch 10U softball in Ohio!!!

With the votes spread out the way they are it just shows how competitive 10u should be this season!

With that being said I think any given weekend any of the teams listed can win at any given tournament. can't wait for summer!

It is early and people can only vote on what they know. For instance, most people do not know that the Central Ohio Lady Vipers are 17-1-1 since joining in the fall. They have won two fall tournaments (Lancaster Fall Classic & Thunder Elite), and have not been beaten by an Ohio team. The 03 Vipers only loss was to Indiana Crush by a score of 1-0, only after the Vipers went to Indianapolis and earned a number one seed after by beating Indy Gators and tying Indy Sox in pool play. In fact, Vipers beat the number one ranked Storm in the semi's in Lancaster, have beaten Viking Elite twice, and have victories over Cincy Slammers, OFC Heat, Ohio Outlaws, Starz, and several others to name a few. There are some great teams out there. Obviously, the Storm is a very good team. The Sundogs have been super impressive wherever they have been. Yet, I would rank Cincy Slammers and Heat even higher than where they are. That Heat squad will make noise all year. The season is almost upon us! Good luck to everyone!

Did you play the 03 Gators that won the tourney? They are tough!

The Gators team they beat was the 04 team that we beat in the quarter finals before losing to the Sundogs.

Actually, the Gators have three young teams. Two 03 teams and an 04 team. We beat one of the 03 teams. People would argue that we beat the lesser of the two 03 Gator teams. Does anyone actually think the Gators has a weak team? A win over any Gator team is a feather in one's cap...

Saw a lot of good games at the Spano Dome with many of these teams. Going to be a competitive season.

My mistake....anyway it will all be settled on the field these rankings mean nothing as there are probably 4-5 of these teams that can win a tourney on any given Sunday, that is how deep 10u is this year. All these rankings manage to do is to stir people up. It will definitely be fun to watch this year!

Heard there was an indoor tournament at HOF Fitness Complex in Canton last weekend. Any scores and/or what teams were entered?
