So the fact that they beat the NC Diamond Cutters and the Beyel Brothers, who between them beat all of those teams, doesn't count for anything? I guess you could also say that the Astro's, 45's, Braves, & RR's can't be considered #1 either until they beat HP. So everyone is equal until every team plays every other team.

HP gets no respect. We beat the teams that beat those teams. Yes, on any given day these top 5 teams could beat another, but as of now (fall included..and SUPER NIT..HP is the # 1 team.) A win is a win is a win. Not sure you would feel the same if your team would have won the SNIT. Oh well, not putting your team or any other team down...but why can't you give credit where credit is due?

Well said Homerun ball...I have seen all of the tams in the mix play, and why HP gets this little respect is puzzleing, unless it is a Northside Bias. (And we play on the Northside)...I promise you, if HP gets matched up with any of the mentioned teams, neither side is in for a cakewalk. Anyone who says otherwise doesnt know baseball at this age. 1's against 1's in a 7 inning game, would be a dogfight.

This is so fun...

Darnell...you're right that just fall is not a good indicator. But, to ignore fall is also a mistake. But...let's suppose for a moment that we ignore the fall. In that case the body of work- up to this point - still has HP # 1. They beat NC Diamond Cutters, Stixx and Beyel Bros in that order to win the biggest tournament in Georgia...undefeated. No...they did not beat the Astros or RR...both of whom had lost already. In July the view might be different, but HP is #1 for now. And, all things considered, it is easy to see the Astros as #2...for now...

Just keep in mind the roadrunners do not have probably their best 2 players right now. One has a broken arm and one is still playing middle school ball in Tennessee right now.

WE WILL NOW SEE IF HOMEPLATE CAN WIN WITH A TARGET ON THEIR BACK. THEY WENT THROUGH THE SNIT UNKNOWN AND DIDNT SEE MANY NUMBER 1'S. THEY WILL NOW GET THE RR ASTRO AND 45 TREATMENT AND SEE EVERYONES BEST. IF THEY CONTINUE TO WIN AFTER THAT THEY ARE THE BEST. I DONT KNOW THAT THEY WILL THE RR ASTROS AND 45S HAVE THE BEST STARTERS IN THE STATE AND HP HASNT SEEN THAT YET. WE WILL SEE HOW THINGS LOOK IN A MONTH WHEN THE HAVE GOTTEN THIS TREATMENT. THERES NEVER A EASY GAME WHEN YOU GET THIS TREATMENT. GOOD LUCK HP

In general terms I agree with you that the other teams should not be in consideration at this time for the heralded #1 spot. While there are some trends, those teams have done nothing to really set themselves apart at this point. Where we differ is that I think the same is true for HP. In my view the SNIT win was awesome and is something Chilidog Nation should be incredibly proud of. It will carry a lot of weight going forward in the recruiting wars and further legitimizes the overall program. However, its not time to drink from the Holy Grail just yet. Objectively speaking, most would agree that HPs playing times, pool schedule and bracket path to the final were significantly easier than any of the other teams in the tournament. That's not taking anything away from the HP opponents, they are tough. But their pitching staffs were seriously depleted due to earlier games against other top teams, i.e. Diamond Cutters. The good news is HP has a chance to validate the "Statement" and remove any doubt in approximately two weeks at the Back to School Backyard Brawl. A win there would clearly establish HP as the.... Top Chilidog in the Land.

We can't wait! Our boys are ready. Who did you say has the best starters in the state??? Did they play in the super nit?? The way some of you talk HP is still the underdog....so I guess you all are the targets.

That is part of the game is it not? I'm sure there is a story to it, but, I find it rather strange that they have a player who lives in another state.

Seriously!? HP deserves credit for the Super NIT big win. They should be considered #1 at this point. They played awesome through bracket play, which wasn't an easy ride! Didn't see the team from NC play, but know they beat the Astros and one other Georgia major team mentioned on this thread. I saw the BB play and they are, to me, on the same level, if not higher than the Astros....I'd say that deserves #1 right now. People really need to stop taking this away from HP. I really think because of all the BIG talk some HP fans/parents(?)did before and during the Super NIT on NWBA is why people are talking like this. I don't agree with it, but this is what happens. Everyone just needs to make their predictions and stop all the trash talk about other teams.

balk-why do you find it strange that the RR's have a player from out of state? Not sure if he is from Tennessee, I thought he was from NC. The Astros and other teams have players from out of state too.

Not sure if you seen our games or if you know every team's #1 starter, but I will fill you in on what I know. Elite Gamers I believe threw their #1 and #2, Extreme threw their #1 not the whole game, Sharon Springs not sure about them. So that was Saturday. On Sunday Academy Dodgers not sure (didn't look like a #1) Diamond Cutters threw their #1 (very good pitcher) they brought him in the 2nd inning. We got 4 off of him. Stixx threw either their #1 or #2. It was the same kid that held the 45's to 1 run the night before. Beyel Brothers (i'm honestly not sure) probably not, not many teams have their #1 for the championship game. HP is not East Cobb but if you considered us an unknown coming into this tournament you didnt' do your homework because just going off the Georgia Academy record from last year you could see that they didn't give up many runs. I will say this not all the above #1 pitchers threw the whole game, but everyone of them left the game behind in runs. As I said in one of the other threads HP played some very good baseball that weekend. As for my son, I hope he sees all the #1's he can face. It will give him some good experience and hopefully make him better. Good Luck to All in the upcoming tournaments.

HP does not need any validating, not looking for the #1 spot. That's for you guys to play around with. I'm looking for my son to become a better ball player and face the best. He's already got great coaching. Now we are just signing up for tournaments and we will play who they schedule us to play. Obviously now if TC goes off USSSA rankings they may give us a similiar schedule as they do the Astros, 45's, RR, etc. so that they can make sure the stronger teams end up in the Gold Bracket. I'm sure how they set the pool play will be debated just as it was for The Slugfest, IMO i think their intentions are good. All pitching staffs get seriously depleted by Sunday, especially if you were like HP and played 4 games on Sunday. And I would say most teams took saturday pretty serious considering if you lost one game on SAT. it could be the difference in going home i.e. Covington, Goose Gamers.

Not sure why that is strange to you...I could name many players that have out of staters on their roster at 13...A certian catcher for ECB, a certian pitcher another Northside team from NC, and on and on...Wait until 14 and up, it gets to be the norm to have this happen.

This has been a very interesting thread to say the least!

At the end of the day does it really matter who is "supposed" to be #1? HP at this point is about as good a team to be #1 as anyone. I am personally glad to have another top flight team for us all to compete against in the state. While we (Roadrunners) certainly have not played very well up to this point of the season. We are honored to be mentioned along with these other teams.

The Roadrunners, Astros, .45's, Braves, Pride, HP, Kennesaw, MGBA, Stixx, Sharon Springs ect..... all get better when we have to play each other and get challenged. These young men will not get better unless they are pushed and pushed often.

There is still a BUNCH of baseball left to play this year......weather permitting. We certainly are looking forward to playing as many of these teams as we can. Good luck to all of you the rest of this season. Lets keep them healthy, have a GREAT time, and try to make them all better then they were when we started.

My only response is if one of these "top" teams can make it to a final game, maybe HP can play one of "the top 6" Right now they just beat the teams that beat the "top 6". Relax it's a long season, everybody will get their turn to beat their chest....all in fun!!!

Come on now Lottapop! If you know the rankings came out then you know that there where.

So just as a matter of fact 3 teams from GA are ranked in the top 25 and 2 teams are on the Honorable Mention list as well. Pretty good showing for the Georgia teams. But I for one think that we should revisit that list in August and see who is on that list and who is not. I still think we(Georgia) will be well represented as we have several very talented teams that can play with just about any team in the country.

After a lot of thought and careful consideration Darnell is yielding to the will of Chiilidog Nation and accepting their position, albeit tenuous, as leader of the pack. Here is my revised list:

1. Chilidogs*
2. Astros
3. 45s
4. Roadrunners
5. Braves
6. Stixx

Mike, I'm to cheap to subscribe. All I can do is post on the forums and with that type of subscription I can't view anything else. Post the top 10 and where the GA teams fall into place within the top 25. It will be interesting to see how the Cali and FL teams fall into place with everyone else.

I don't think it matters if you have a player from another state as long as they are the correct age for the age group they are playing. Most out of state players are from neighboring states that may not have a program as good as what they are getting here. I think it speaks well for the quality of teams we have here. From alot of places in Georgia you can drive to another state in an hour or less so it's really not that far. I doubt any Georgia teams are flying in studs from the west coast.
