Bandits won 4 of the State Tournaments at 9U. USSSA, USTBA, TRIPLE CROWN, AND BPA 2008 STATE TITLES WENT TO THE BANDITS. Due to the Cooperstown trip and other conflicts we will not get to defend at least 1 and maybe 2 of the State Titles and we are very sad that we cannot defend but from experience I can tell you that the Cooperstown experience win or lose is a great reward for the hard works these kids have put in already this year.
We also know that it is one thing to get to the top and another to stay on top. We work hard but it is obvious from watching the other Atlanta teams that they work just as hard. It is amazing to this grandfather how these 10 year old kids can play the game of baseball.
We look forward to some hard fought games with competition that we feel is every bit as good as what we will see in Cooperstown and we hope that all are ready for the upcoming tournaments and wish them all good luck.
I understand from talking with Coach Troy that there will be at least one of the State Tournaments that will have all of the big boys like Sandtown, Stixx, 643, Kennesaw, Chili Dogs, EC Tigers, EC Scorpions, EC Longhorns, Grip and many others and this is the one that we look most forward to. This is what elite means, playing these teams toe to toe and whatever the outcome coming out better for the experience. |
