I forgot to come and post about this..(warning long)
DD played in her last middle school SB game a while ago. They had a really good season. Her 6th grade season was not very good. They only won 2 games the entire season. She was 1 of 4 6th graders on that team. Her 7th grade season, they did really well and were 9-0-1 in the regular season. Because they won their division, they got moved to the higher division for the End of Season tournament where they were slaughtered by the A level teams (they had played in essentially the B level during the regular season). This year (for her 8th grade season), her team was a pretty young team. One of our starting pitchers was a 6th grader. There were 3 8th graders, 5 6th graders and 3 7th graders on the team so her coach played them in the B level again. We ended up going undefeated in the regular season (10-0).
Only 1 team was easy for our team but we still had one of the teams we beat say we were only winning because we played in a lower level :/ The rest of our games were decided by 2-3 runs at most so I'm not sure what the team was talking about.
For the EOS tournament, 4 teams from the A level bracket moved down and we played with 2 other teams in our division. We ended up 2-2 in the tournament. Played against one team who ended up winning the tournament who had a pitcher who was probably throwing close to 50ish or more (from 40).
MS was going to be the only thing DD did this fall but ended up playing with her MS coach's 18U rec team. They haven't played a ton of games due to the fact that there are girls with jobs on the team. There's only been one team where our team hasn't essentially run-ruled them. Same team beat us - really we beat ourselves as we had the most errors in both games we played against them. They play in their EOS this week.
Then as soon as SB is over, DD also made the middle school basketball team and her first game is next week. Never a dull moment
