Please come out,, we will love to drive you back to the airport WITHOUT a birth. ^_^! Maybe each Ohio team participating can offer up a Mini Van to shuttle your entire team to/from airport personally..... LOL!
This is a little different then last years AZ Hotshots stealing of a birth at Findlay on the weekend our HS Players were still competing(Late May/Early June) for HS State Championships. This one will be weeks later, with full teams with 2-3 weeks under their belt. Nationals have taught us two things. Ohio has better hitting & better pitching then almost all at this age groups. Confidence goes a long way once you know those things.
Love the June AZ challenge this is becoming.
TT I dont think any team across the country wants to come to Northern Ohio to get an ELITE experience that you can offer! Who wants to try to get a berth at a tournament that contains the ELITEST team Ohio has to offer! As you've stated over and over, your team has better athletes than the "Slammers team". With your confidence you might want to call the teams that finished ahead of the "Slammers" at ASA/USA last year and see if they want to play, because I dont know of anyone than can compete with your confidence or advanced training in Ohio or Arizona!
I was in Ohio last spring when Hotshots flew in and none of us thought it was stealing a berth. I would never call beating Laser's Red or Doom 95 in early season stealing a berth, and H.S. ball rules work the same in Arizona. The big difference in May in Ohio versus May in Arizona, most 14U teams have already played 8 to 10 tournaments with 8th graders or below in Az, so they are up to game speed and when Nationals comes together in late July early August all teams in every state are at the top of thier game. So maybe I will get the honor of seeing you at Nationals and I'll record your games so I can teach my kid what ELITE softball looks like and maybe some day before it's too late, she can get some of that ELITE training you are getting. I dont know though, I may never be able to afford it! I should record your games though as most of your kids next year will be playing 18U Gold as long as they are ready as "YOU" keep saying!
oh yeah let me add a LOL to keep the peace! lmao:lmao::lmao::lmao:
