And some more info for you, TD07, if you think AABC teams are superior.
Some of the teams in the AABC MM state tourney entered Premier sponsored tournaments during the last year and got their tails kicked.
Obviously, not every good club is in Premeir. But almost every club in Premier is very good.
My son plays for Kyle Chapman and yes, it is a Showcase team. But if you think for one minute that they do not want to win in Joplin this weekend you are kidding yourselves.
These are some of the best BB players in the Houston area. Oh yeah, they are also fierce competitors who play to win when they step on the field.
My son is there for a few reasons, but one of the main reasons we are there is to be seen. There are over 90 Colleges represented at this tourney.
KC has 4 to 5 D-1 pitchers on this squad. There are 6 to 8 position players that will play D-1.
By the way, they do play together all Summer and Fall, they are not just thrown together for one tourney.

For the record -- I (as a DBAT dad) have not ranked or rated the tournaments. Our team is not riding some sort of "high horse" here. Both are fine events. Both will provide good competition and I hope every team that enters will play hard, with emotion, in an attempt to win it all. Why go otherwise?
It's like picking between Katherine McPhee and Carrie Underwood --- can you go wrong in either case?

Woo-hoo....I choose Kat!!!
Good luck to the teams in both College Station and McKinney next week. Sounds like some good baseball.

Exactly.
62Tiger - any results from Joplin?
All I know is the KC results. My wife is there with my son.
KC is 3-0 with scores of 15-3, 15-2 and 14-4.
My son said the teams they are facing are good, but they are playing very, very good.
I will try to find out more

Wow. That is impressive! Congrats to your son.
Every KC team I have ever seen has been very good.

I like that.
Wow!! I guess the first DBAT/Patriot game was a yawner. Especially for DBAT!! Maybe the next game will be better.

My guess is the one in the morning will be another yawner and DBAT will be in McKinney next week making some more noise.
Which team is dad working for now.....
OP,
I agree with you. Just a reply for Txdad07's comments. I don't think many people doubted who would be the last Texas team left for McKinney.

Austin wings win in championship with walk off home run
What'd they win?
The premier JUNIOR CHAMPOINSHIP. Collin Rowe hit the walkoff HR. He is from Georgetown and has commited to UT
Congrats to the Wings, must have been a heck of a game.
Awesome way to end a game/tournament -- a dream come true for the kid! Very exciting.
The Wings Red, the Heat White and the Indiana Bulls Black were all in the same Pool. The Indiana Bullls were the #1 Seed coming out out of pool, and obviously, the Wings and the Heat played in the championship game. Pretty tough pool.
Heat were leading 11-7 going to bottom of 7. Wings get it to 11-9, runners at 2nd and 3rd. Rowe's bomb was a fastball middle half, and it was a rocket to LCF. As soon as it left the bat, half the stadium groaned and the other half screamed.
Great game and a great week of top-shelf baseball.

I can never see going into a tournament with less than a 20 man roster and at least 12 to 14 arms
We tell the kids going in what the story is and THE TEAM will function--this year we even have a young catcher who has asked to join us as out bullpen catcher--he is not looking for playing time--he just wants to learn more about the game so he can improve nimself
When people understand why and what you are doing and you have success with it there is no problem to get the kids AND THE PARENTS to buy into what you are doing
Lay the cards on the table--we have even been in events with 25 players and 14 were just pitchers and only pitchers--you have to go into the events looking to go the entire distance--we had a boy last year threw to one batter and struck him out whith 90 plus stuff--before he h gets back to us this year he is headed to the East Coast Pro Showcase with the Red Sox and then with TEAM CANADA in Cuba---he knew his role as a closer with us and look what he got in return
It is all about THE TEAM and working together

DTiger,
As I recall your team had an unusual set of circumstances this year (coaching change at beginning of season), was that part of the reason you only had 10? Are the parents of the 10 left vocal about playing time or was everyone told at the beginning of the season what to expect?

The parents of the 10 left are great, I was talking teams in general that do not carry 20+ kids. We all (on the Tigers) get along and see the common goal. I might have made that unclear. Injuries played a role into only having 10, along with other circumstances.

So far, they are not posting results online.
