Here is the fireworks site:

and this is why the NBA should be classified as entertainment.............but certainly not a sport.

One thing to add is that often freshman don't get much of a chance to play that first year.

It was a good tournament with some very strong teams. If you want the exposure go to Houston, if you want to get seen by colleges go to Houston, if you want to play against the best teams go to Houston that is where it is at. I don't think that the Premier is going to stay around very long but the tournament got our team some good looks and just reinforced who our players are to some colleges and that will go a long way to getting them recruited. Overall it was a good experience and helped our team.

Trout, no doubt this is true. I would have rather seen another layer or two added to the Gold organization tournamenys where districts at least had a voice. With that being said he did get some changes that were needed. The one area of change I disagree with is prohibiting participation of college kids with eligibility remaining. With the exception of East Coast kids, they have nowhere else to play. A better choice would have been to limit the number of college kids. This hurts small organizations a lot more than the large ones.
[/quote]Doesn't absolutely leave those with eligibility remaining nowhere else to play, but their choices are limited to ASA 18U, IFA, etc. Doubtful most will continue playing with only those options. What I have noticed is that it has somewhat leveled the playing field. No longer are the Impact Gold's of the softball world grabbing up the cream of the college freshman's with eligibility remaining. Neither Impact Gold team qualified last weekend at the ASA Territorial, nor did Impact Gold Piro qualify for the Premier the weekend before. Impact Gold Burke was an invitee to the Premier.

Mc I agree some teams did stack their teams with mostly college players, but the answer should have been limit each team to two college players instead of completely eliminating their real chance to play.

I just believe Hanning and California ended up with way too much power and control over FP softball than is healthy.

I tend to shy away from autocratic organaizations. Hitler and Mussolini, Hussein and few others have proven they are doomed to fail.

Thanks.
My daughter enjoyed playing in Baton Rouge too!

What association?

Who gets the start for A&M?

Cody Trahan will be in and out this summer.her contact I on the select board under coaches giving lessons.

Speaking of marriage---

Did ya'll hear about the two OU Grads getting married in a bath-tub. 
It was a double ring ceremony.  ;D

and OU sucks so much, they couldn't get the tub to drain.

Yes Good Luck and Colorado is an awesome experience.

If you have something of substance to post, post. Things such as where they are based, age level, who coaches them, tournaments they played in and there success and even rosters.

Congrats on the engagement and the realization that nothing stops oklahoma from sucking!

Sounded like a great weekend.

We will make it out to support in the future, when our schedule slows down.

OU Sucks...........They know it..............we know it...............and saying it just feels right.
Its a win-win situation......................unless your uglahoma.  ;)

Yes and this year they will blow more than ever. Bob not much looking like a genius anymore.

60 pages is proof that their suckage is known by all..........
