Hello everyone! I don't have a lot to say, but I figured I ought to check in anyway since I'm currently in Mankato, Minnesota for ASA Northern Nationals. I'm here with the Lake County Glory 14U team, so if you're here too stop by and say hello.
I was actually surprised by the small number of teams in the tournament. There are only 14 teams at the 14U A level. Normally you expect 30 to 60 teams at a tournament like this. Not sure where everyone is.
Maybe it's the economy. Maybe it's the location, being so far North. Maybe it's the large number of post-season tournaments these days that are drawing teams away that would normally come here. Whatever it is, the numbers seem to be down.
Oh well. It should make for a fun week and some good competition nonetheless. Wish us luck!
