Congratulations to all of those teams who made the top 10 and all of those teams who received votes. It is good to see so many teams with so much positive momentum to build on heading into the spring.

Valley Force 04 should be higher. 3 good 05 teams in Lasers Blue, Outlaws 05, and Ice Blue. Haven't seen Lasers Red. Valley Extreme should be higher. I didn't get to see much of Starz 04 who won the Pumpkin Smash, but you don't win that without having a great team. The top 2 of StingRays 04 and Outlaws 04 Richards are absolutely correct. WolfPack 04 should be near the top of this list all year. Can't wait for Spano, and I hope ALL the teams mentioned above get to play against each other A LOT. Good luck to all.

I know who to reach out to when I need a scouting report when we get to play some of these teams.

Sorry for no props, Thunder. I haven't seen your team play. Saw your 03s last year. I forgot to mention the Hawks Gold 04 team will win some games on Sundays. Lightning Gold can beat some teams as well.

Rose, I totally get it. There is no way someone can see all of the teams competing all across the state, Our fall was a little different. A lot of tournaments here in OH this fall were canceled for whatever reason. We went to KY and IN to play a lot to make sure we were getting experience. We have some nice wins against some good teams in Ohio, Buckeye Heat 04, MVX 04, Central Ohio Ice 04, just to name a few. We tied Buckeye Elite 04 in what was one of the most well played games I have ever coached. We would have liked to have played tougher competition more consistently especially from OH, the problem was when we tried to schedule it, it was not always there to be had. I do appreciate your knowledge and feedback. You seem to be well informed.
