We have all had friendly conversations on the Gold levels. Most still feed into the hype of the California teams being the best of the best. A few have posted that it is at the end of it's era. From what games I got to watch and the final results, the south and southeast completely dominated this event.

I think your going to see more and more teams from this area pulling in National Titles in ASA and other sanctions. The sport has really exploded in the south. New softball parks are popping up faster than Walmart or McDonalds. We have a lot of players that go onto the college level, but they seem to be restricted to the the 'southern colleges'. Hope over the next few years more may get the chance to play for the BIG BOYS.
East Cobb must have something in the water. My nephew plays them all over the country in baseball, and East Cobb Baseball is a monster too.
