Remember, normally only the best in out-of-state teams travel. What comes to the Bobcat and a few other tourneys are not necessarily representative of the whole state. You can't make a determination on the quality of one state vs another on these few teams. However, the very top end of Missouri is real tough -but, they have rooms that never stop running and run practices all year long. As they told us at Oak Park (Victory) after Fargo, we will run practice as long as kids show up. And, there were no new fees. Until Kansas starts taking it serious like that, we will have trouble with their top end, but we can sure compete with everyone else.

And, I have watched Justin Scott (Jeff West) for years - if he is not ranked this year - he will be next.
