I don’t look much at rankings. I also thought Lake Creek was going to win it all because they were so dominating all season. I think everyone knew the Region would come down to these two teams. BH/Lake Creek was an even matchup, but BH had an edge in experience and I think that’s why they won. Lake Creek didn’t play many close games this year.
I don’t see any weaknesses with BH. Offense, defense, 2 aces, experience, coaching. Certainly anything can happen in any one game, but I think they win it. That program has been so good for probably 20 years, especially the last 8. I can’t even remember a year where they didn’t go at least 4 rounds deep. They just reload there. Must be a softball breeding factory nearby.
