USSSA 12U Southeastern Elite Tournament Preview

April 1-3,  2011  Florence, AL

The field has been set for the 12U Southeastern Elite Tournament located in Florence, AL.  16 teams will be attending from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Ohio.  The teams will be split into 4 pools with the top 2 seeds squaring of against the bottom 2 seeds.  Travelballselect.com will be there to cover the action.

Pool A favorite is TBS #19 Memphis Outlaws.  They had a good showing at the Atlanta SNIT falling in the quarter finals to TBS #15 Sandtown Redsox in the last inning.  TBS #20 Desoto Cardinals brings in a perfect 6-0 record winning their only tournament of the early season.  G Force will be a force in Alabama this year.  In a few weeks they will be at full strength when their middle school players return.  Team Florence will add some local flavor to the event.

Pool B favorite is Georgia Academy/Team TPX.  They played well in Atlanta was the only team to scratch a dent in TBS#2 Bandits putting up 4 runs.  North MS Rebels, Vision Baseball and Patriot baseball will be making the trip over from Mississippi.

Pool C favorite is Cincy Flames.  Expect big things from the Flames with the addition of 3 top players from last season’s Cincinnati Stixx.  TPSA is still strong with AL TBS POY Noah Fondren and TBS AA Owen Lovell.  This will be a great pool matchup.  RC Roadrunners bring in a impressive resume from the fall and are capable of knocking off any team.  Mavericks Baseball will round out the pool coming down from Tennessee.

Pool D favorite has to be TBS#8 Rawlings Arkansas Prospects (Arkansas Seminoles - pictured above right).  They recently knocked of TBS#9 OK Rays.  West TN Wildcats are on a roll winning their first 2 events on the year.  Viper Baseball is another talented team waiting for their middle school players to arrive.  Burn Baseball has had great success in the aaa ranks and plans to play spoiler to the Majors.
