ASA/USA 14U Championship


Recommended Posts

The Chattanooga Force had a good run in the losers bracket and finished late Friday night. They were much sharper than in last week's NSA in Chattanooga. Rain forced some delay but everything was to have gotten back on track Saturday morning.

 

Pool play earlier in the week, beat Minors Gold from California 9-2, then lost to 5-1 to Strikers from California, a good team that won a couple in the winners bracket before losing and going into the losers bracket.

 

Bracket play, made it tough on themselves immediately by losing 2-1 to Washington Sidewinders, in part due to a shaky call by an ump. As in any one-run game there were other chances to make up for it. They rebounded to win three straight in the losers' bracket, starting with 4-0 shutouts over Oklahoma Groove and one of the Atlanta Viper teams. They won 1-0 over Birmingham T-Bolts in the last inning when the leadoff bunted her way on, stole second then scored. Final game was a 4-1 loss to Southern California Choppers, it was close until the seventh.

 

The Force and the Knoxville Lady Aces were the final Tennessee teams left, each losing in the same round late Friday night and finishing in the top 36 or so out of around 125 teams.

 

6 of the 9 teams left in the winners bracket as of Saturday morning were from California, 2 from Georgia, 1 from Ohio.

 

Players on the Force will be 9th or 10th graders at Chattanooga/area schools Walker Valley, Chattanooga Christian, Sequatchie, Chattanooga Central and west Tennessee's Camden, a couple I'm not positive if they'll be attending East Hamilton or Ooltewah. Pitchers will be 10th graders at Central and CCS, 9th grader at Walker Valley.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
