to explain a bit on why the reference to the Wild thangs on page two-- i was in a position a few short years where alot of you guys are now --a 11u parent just getting exposed to the travel ball scene . We (Scioto Co Wild Thangs ) had a dang good group , the 11-12u team was very good but the 10u team was dynamite. So were beating up on the local competition from around here (chillicothe-portsmouth-huntington wv area) pretty well.
So I discovered OFC and started hyping our team a bit. Needless to say that brought about more than one shark. LOL Made the MISTAKE of sticking my nose in Laser Nation's business ! LOL
wild thang 12u's won 4 tournies that year (inc sluggerfest) and the 10'u went something like 30-40 wins , 5-6 loses, made in to the semi's of the 10u ASA states. Led by one Lasers Black's current pitchers. very good times back then. MD
