Bashing kids it’s just weird. Extreme National teams seek out and play good competition. They aren’t hiding out in mediocre tournaments. The 18’s also took T-9th at Nationals losing a walk-off to keep them out of top 8. As with any team they had ups and downs this fall. They played two very high level teams at Top 25 the weekend prior losing 3-2 and then winning 3-2 in bracket. Looks like they ended not so great and took a big loss there but so have many other solid teams. Not their fault teams forfeited at the Qualifier. Stop whining and focus on your kid and what they need to do to get better. Bunch of middle aged weirdos going through 16 and 17 year old stats. When your kids graduate you’re about to get real bored until they have grandkids and you jack up their sports experience too.
