Yeah, it's just a local tournament where the kids love to play. Usually the top 2 or 3 teams know who won, the rest of them just want to know who bought the tickets for the free cokes. It is really pretty amazing though, to watch the coach pitch kids. Several of them are plenty good enough to play on 10-U teams. A few years ago, I was at a PONY National Tournament, watching these kids. I actually saw a 6-4-3 double play turned, with no dropped balls or throwing errors. Needless to say, that was the talk of the tournamanet for awhile. There are some really awesome CP teams that come out of the Highlands and Deer Park in the Houston area, where Glen calls.
