PS - I didn't see your second post while I was typing. If competing against bigger neighbor towns (I assume, during all-stars) is and has been a goal the boys (and coach) have been working toward the last few years, I would re-emphasize my second point. If you split up the better players (sounds like you will have most of them), it will create at least a little better competitive environment for the regular league season and allow the better hitters and pitchers to battle against each other instead of being mostly on one team.
