Based on recent tournaments here is latest top 7. From what I see all of these teams are very good and good beat one another on any given day.

I would put Vertigo over Elite since they have came on top last 2 match ups. Last two in state tournaments undefeated.



1 Vertigo
2 Arkansas Elite
3 Arkansas Starz 96
4 Arkansas Impact
5 Arkansas Crush
6 Panther Pride 97 / Team Arkansas
7 Arkansas Heat

That is quite an impressive list and I will agree with you on any given day any of these can beat the others.

Updated 12 Rankings are out. Just click on the link from the home page.

Next month is going to be special. There is going to be some awesome state tournaments starting with the usfa. Good luck to all the 12&U teams!!!

The only thing bad about USFA state is that its on the same weekend as Pitch for the Cure. SO I am sure some teams will play state some will play pitch for the cure.

I cant find the updated 12U rankings. I click on the link and it shows a blank box. Am I doing something wrong or is everyone having this problem?
Thanks,

The home page mentions a compatibility issue with internet explorer. I couldn't see it either until I opened it with firefox.

You should be able to veiw these in internet explorer. Apparently IE does not like the table I pasted in the page from word. I will start checking with IE in the future. ( I do most of the development in Firefox).

Thanks,

1.arkansas heat
2.panther pride97
3.arkansas force
4.central arkansas fusion
5.thunder97
6.arkansas young guns
7.dixie stix

Looks Good....But who is Arkansas Force? I had kinda thought they may be PP97.

Arkansas Force is the team that JEFF GRAY is trying to put togather. I saw them play this weekend, there going to be the real deal next year. I think they have a couple of girls that are out for fall ball. I watched them play ARK.HEAT they gave them a pretty good game, a couple errors hurt em. They are a good looking bunch.

ANYBODY PLANNING ON PLAYING THIS YEAR? lol

So who would be in everyones top 10 or 7 (you prefer just 7)at this point in the Season?

PANTHER PRIDE
MENA HEAT
ARKANSAS HEAT
ARKANSAS WILDFIRE
CENTRAL ARKANSAS FUSION
YOUNG GUNZ
ARKANSAS FORCE
PRINTERS INK
DIXIE STIX
ARKANSAS YOUNG GUNS

Albert, you’ve been a busy little bee with all your recent post. First, going back to last fall when you started posting things you’ve never quite been able to leave your real name or what team you are with. It’s a shame when grown people get on the site just to chirp a little and see what they can get started. You might as well be on here saying things like..”my daddy can beat up your daddy”…you remind me of that kid. I believe people should not be allowed to post on this site unless they can sign their real name. Second, unless “your 99 daughter” is playing up you really shouldn’t be concerned about the rankings for 12U. Third, I love how you spell the word special, “spepial” when talking about a catcher. Fourth, most every 12u team knows that ar heat is by far the best in the state. Here is one of your posts from last fall….
”urout, don’t think for a second that the likes of arkansas heat cant compete with ANY 12U TEAM ANYWHERE. buddie you have no clue.” From Albert…. Don’t get on here posting rankings you know not to be true. Ark Heat is on top by far…. Then you have 6 or 7 teams that are pretty equal and just depends on who gets the breaks to win the games. Fifth, we know your not going to be at Pitch for Cure because you’re in “Oaklahoma”; your schedule says that is where you will be. Six, unless you can somehow manage to leave your real name and what team you’re really with, please don’t post. Seven, STAY HOT!

SIGNED, Scott Richey - Panther Pride 97

I would agree with 14ball that if you follow this age group at all you would know that AR Heat is on top of a tough 12U group this year. I do feel that Panther Pride 97 isn’t that far behind and would put money on every game them two play will be a tough game. As for as Albert’s poll goes everyone is entitled to their opinion. Honestly I do not feel we have done enough to be that high on this list. We are striving to get to the top but are not there yet. We do feel like when be play good we can compete with the top teams. As far as the poll IMO would go something like this.
AR Heat
Panther Pride 97
Young Gunz (Malvern)
Fusion 97
Mena Heat
Force
Riptide (Texarkana)
Illusion
No question who I am with but I guess some folks are not as proud of their team as some others and that is their right on this board as long as they don’t talk bad about other teams.

After last weekend and getting to watch AR Heat, Mena Heat, and Riptide play and also seeing the results from Benton. There is still no question that Arkansas Heat is the top team in the State. So here is my opinion after this past weekend top 8 teams.
Arkansas Heat
Panther Pride 97
Fusion 97
Force
Young Gunz (Malvern)
Riptide (Texarkana)
Mena Heat
