It is all relative really. We have an 11U team here in OK who has not been beaten by a local 11U team in a few years but got their teeth kicked in a few weeks ago in IA by both 08 Bandit teams (granted the year before they double dipped the Demarini team in the finals of the Select Fastpitch World series but a lot changed in a year..) Obviously that team locally is an A team but Nationally..who knows.
If you go looking for the best competition, you sometimes find it. There's always someone better, but it's certainly possible for a legit "A" team to get rung up by another. We lost to a couple of teams this year we have NO business losing to, and beat some others who were a bit better.
