COMPARING TEAMS IN NSA & SPA 50 AAA
I AM INTERESTED IN SOME FEEDBACK FROM KAYSONS AS TO THE CALIBER OF TEAMS IN THESE TOURNAMENTS. HAVING PLAYED METRO,INDIANA CLASSICS, KAYSONS ALL VERY COMPETITIVE AND CAPABLE OF WINNING EITHER OF THESE TOURNAMENTS. I DO FEEL THAT THE JAGS ALONG WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED TEAMS PLUS HACKERS ARE THE ELITE TEAMS IN THE AAA DIVISION. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION CPOPE

Loss Ind Classics 18-14

We have not played well since the loss to you guys. I would say that in Plano we did not play a good game the whole tournament. We played a couple of good innings and that was it. We were very flat and did not show much at all.

Jags,

As far as caliber of play. The Texas Legends had about 7 guys that could hit the ball out and from what I was told had won 3-5 tournaments this year. Houston had won three tournaments and were a good team. The Great Lakes team I thought was a loaded team (I could be wrong) but it was their first tournament. The Coors team even though Rabbit said he thought they were major was against us an excellant triple A team. They did not hit even come close to hitting a home run but they hit ropes, played great defense and they were fast. The team from Arkansas was definately stacked as a player from our team knew of a major + player on that team. Indiana played very well and has some very good power in with the fine defense and hitting they had. I'm surprised they did so poorly against the Coors bunch. As usual we hit 4 home runs total in 7 games. Even though we did poorly we enjoyed playing the teams we played. All of them we gentlemen and great sportsman. It's hard to say we enjoyed it though because we know we were better than we showed. Some of our key players had a subpar tournament which hurt and since it is senior ball we were walking cripples by the last few games with most of the team playing out of position.
Maybe some other teams can chime in and correct me if I made any mistakes.
Good luck

I agree with SAG about 99%. We did not have a good game the entire tournament. Only about 2 or 3 guys had there regular hitting games. I felt a couple teams were major caliber or at least a very good AAA team.
Hope to see you guys soon. We owe you one. :)

Hey Jags
How do you think Pinnacle fits into the mix? We did come back and beat you guys. We were missing 2 of our better players due to injuries. We are not going to Seattle but we will be in Vegas.
