Eye am hoping SW Asics ends up being on the other end of the American bracket at JO's.

Same here...I really don't want to see you guys until we're playing for the championship!!! (wishful thinking)

Any good stories from this weekend?

It saddens me that other teams couldn't get in...

Texas Elite
TT Teal
Brazos Valley
TT Black

these teams could easily do some damage at Nationals.

This might ruffle some feathers...I wonder how everyone would feel if all of the other teams that Qualified at their respective qualifiers had not qualified and had to play regionals like in years past. Thanks to all of the other teams that have previously qualified and not attended regionals. Now ew have so much more from our strong region to represent us...

What tournaments are people going to attend to get ready for JO's?

Who should be the frontrunners for their respective divisions at JO's?

Past?... as in Distant Past?

Not sure what this comment means, but qualified teams have not played LSR, in their age group, for a LOOONG time. Several years ago (16+ or so) previously qualified teams played up one age group. More recently, they played up two age groups.

You are so kind-it was nice to get to know yet another wonderful parent from TCVA! When we played your team at T of T, you were missing T.D.who was at the BB state championship so it was fun to play this time with her present. We were able to get to know Coach Rich last year because we had to play TCVA in almost every tournament final since neither of our teams qualified for T of T and had to play in all of those "other" tournaments. We pulled for each other to make the tour this year and look where we both finished up....in the finals of Lone Star Regionals! It has been a great year for both of our teams and how could you not cheer for each other-You have such great parents and coaches on your team also! Good Luck in Dallas, bring home the Gold!

I'll throw my overview of the event out there. I think our little group here has done a great job of picking the winners, and the "almost made it" teams as well. I also feel that AJV did a great job of seeding the event, with the noted exception of Texstar.

I really liked the format in the 16's National divison. Unlike the insane schedule that some age groups had where you played an AM wave, finished at 2:00 then had to return for an 8:00 or 9:00 PM match our evening wave worked great.

We actually finished our Saturday pool at a decent hour. Then got the girls feed and in bed and didn't have to play again until 11:00 on Sunday. With the quick three team pool format you either moved on to your Challenge match or headed home. I imagine those they stayed late for the finals were still pumped from getting a bid and didn't mind the late finish. Unfortunately we were not in that group.

As I posted earlier the battle of the evening on Saturday was between Alamo Gold and Stars Blue. Read my previous post for details. Sunday placed very closely matched teams against one another again. If you look at the scores for the final round of the 3 team pools you will notice that most matches went to three. I also noted that several of the Challenge matches went to three as well.

Not sure if ya'll are playing in the San Antonio tournament (forgotten the name, used to be 3rd Coast).... if so, hope to see ya there... if not, hope to see ya during the High School season.

Ok I assume that alot of our posters on this thread saw most of the top 16`s teams in the country at the qualifiers. What are the chances of a Texas team bringing home the Gold in 16 Open at JO`s??

I witnessed several quality matches including our own Willowbrook 16 White vs Team One Black. Team One proved to be the dark horse of the event taking out a surprised TX T Black in the Saturday pool 25-14, 25-20. This put them in the 16 White pool where the virtually unknown group of Kingwood Highschool girls showed their athletic ability by winning that pools final match 25-18, 23-25, 15-12.

That loss ended the bid hunt for 16 White and left them to Ref a Challenge match between TX T Teal and Woodland Stars Gold. The Stars team may have came in a little over confident as they had not been strongly contested all weekend. TX T Teal caught them off guard in the first set jumping out with a healthy lead that the girls in gold could not regain. That set ended in Teal's favor 25-20.

It appeared that Teal was headed for a trip to JO's going in to the second set as they made several point runs that keep them ahead of or close to their Woodlands opponents. Despite some quality back row plays, Teal couldn't hold of a final push by the Stars and the set ended with Gold on top 25-21.

Meanwhile, two courts down AVA Asics battled with TX T Black for a late finish in their pool. It seemed as if Black might take the pool, but AVA stood strong taking the win 25-21, 19-25, 15-9. Text messages told me that Elite Black couldn't hold off AP Stealth and their dreams of a bid went away 26‑24, 22‑25, 8‑15.

In the final set of the TX T Teal vs Stars Gold Challenge it appeared that the Tornados girls had run out of gas. Hitting errors fueled frustrations, allowing the girls in gold to make their way to the finals with a third set win 15-8.
