12U Stars fall...................13U Bengals rise to the top
After a 6-0 start by the Plantation Stars and defeating some good teams
along the way, you're wondering what's going on with these Stars. Are they for
real ? We know that former Marlins player Alex Arias is helping out whenever he
can, but 6-0 from a team that did not played in the league last season, well the
Ft. Wahoos put a blemish on the record, but it was not easy as the Stars fought
hard to try and keep their streak alive, but fell short 8-7 and dropped to 6-1
record for the season and remained on top of their 12U National Division. The
Stars will try to get back on their winning ways when they face Pasadena on
Tuesday.
After a long and frustrating last season for the once dominant
13U PPO Bengals
the pieces are starting to fall back into place. The Bengals
have always been once of those teams that when you signed -up for a tournament,
you hope that you wouldn't see them until the Championship game, because you
knew that if it was in the first round of the elimination game, you were gone
and you knew that ! that's how good that team has been. Well, things changed for
the Bengals last season, not only did they have a dismal season, but got knocked
out in playoffs, and for the first time in a long time the Bengals were the buzz
in the 13's.............what's happened to the Bengals ? long time manager Mike
White stepped down because of work related reasons and a few players decided to
test the water across the pond, but now, under a new direction and with a new
attitude the Bengals are back and on top again.
The Bengals had a score
to settle against the Florida Sharks, after having to forfeit a game two weeks
ago because of middle school ball and not being able to fill a team the Bengals
took a 7-0 loss to the Sharks, well that score was settled on Friday when the
Bengals pounded the Sharks 17-3. The Sharks on top of their division and one of
the top teams in the 13's. Well another score was settled yesterday when the
Bengals played the Broward Scorpions a team that over the years have played them
tough and once beat them in the Triple Crown finals were the news was huge
because of how good the Bengals were at the time................those times seem
to be coming back as the Bengals took care of the Scorpions yesterday 10-7 and
climbed to the top once again.
Well, while in some divisions you may be
able to predict the winner, in this one you know that the road to the FPBL title
will have to go through the Bengals once again.
