It is very impressive. Although most people would say the talent in Dallas is very spread out, I feel that face alone shows some of the best baseball in the country is here. If all the talent is so spread out, and yet the representation is still this high (obviously there are other teams not even mentioned), then I must say Dallas is top-notch.

Dallas Tigers- 16U BCS Perfect Game Final.
15U Bcs Perfect Game Final.

Also, in most of these regionals to get to the final destination, the final few teams have been from BIG D.

BLACKHAWKS WIN 18U BCS OPEN FINALS!
The Texas Blackhawks are the 18U BCS Open Final champions after a hard fought victory over the Georgia Knights. With strong pitching by Matt Shelton and solid hitting, the Blackhawks were able to overcome the Knights for the 3rd time in Open play, outscoring them 4-2.
The visiting Knights were the first on the board with a run in the top of the 1st by Michael Schmidt. He led off the game with a walk and advanced to second when Shelton walked Boomer Hudson. Schmidt later scored on an error by the catcher.
The lead was short lived as the leadoff man for Texas, Matt Nilo, scored in the bottom of the 1st. After being hit by pitcher Will Davis, Nilo advanced to 2nd on a sacrifice and then moved on to 3rd on a wild pitch. Justin Keithley brought Davis home with a sacrifice fly.
After neither team scored in the 2nd inning, Georgia once again had the lead after 3 innings of play. In the visiting half, the Knights saw Ryan Jennings reach safely on a fielder's choice. He then moved to 2nd when Michael Schmidt was walked. When the Blackhawks' defense made an error on a Juan Carlin hit, Jennings came home to score from 2nd base.
Texas returned the favor and then some in the 4th by scoring two runs of their own and taking the lead back for good. After holding the Knights hitless in the top of the inning, Caleb Marx made it to first on a hit-by-pitcher. Robert Barbosa followed with a double that brought Marx home. After an intentional walk, Barbosa then crossed the plate safely on an intentional walk.
Texas scored an insurance run in the next inning on a Nilo walk and a single by Justin Keithley. The Knights were held scoreless by Texas after the third inning.
Texas finished the tournament with a perfect 6-0 record while Georgia closed out at 5-4.
