we have some good 'ol boy club protections at play here so far in this conversation. your daughters are not sitting next to you (I hope) so you dont need to bend reality to support her confidence. this club includes Sparks and NLL. Sparks are the leg up, hands down, from recruiting, developing and competing. NLL has Jim's team, period. outside of the good 'ol boys are Dennison, Wisconsin Lightning, Peoria Sluggers, local Mojo franchises and Cheetahs. these are all B teams. occasionally this group has a team that transcends, Cheetah Connoly is the best example; they have competed over more than one year and place at national tournaments, hopefully coach can keep this going. Sparks do this here and there, Molito has had stong teams as have Wisc Lightning and Peoria Sluggers. IMG, Iowa Premier, Bandits and Chill compete at this high level consistently which makes them A teams of the region. don't confuse, we are going to California to mean you are an A team or at an A org. some don't have this vanity and have P4 commits, these include Cheetah Baer, Dennison McNulty and others. the ones pounding their chests from the good ol boy club, how many P4's do you have on your B teams?
