@@Oh You're certainly entitled to your opinion but based on your opinion we only have 20 or so A teams at each age division nationally.

Those 20 have a realistic chance of winning PGF or Alliance nationals. I feel there are another 60 teams at each age that I would consider A level teams because of the quality of their schedule and
college placement. I feel there is elite A, mid A and low level A. Most of the teams playing NSA and USSSA are what I consider B and C level teams.

As I said, you're entitled to your opinion but so am I.

In my opinion, Marist and Carterville (2A) are the strongest teams in the state and I would consider both A level travel ball teams that would win as well as lose if they played an A level Summer schedule.
