This is not a team fielded from a little league program as you know it. This is a hand selected group of all stars. They aren’t playing in mom & pop leagues before this stage

For the area they come from, I don't think it's ridiculous to think they could put together an all star team from within their district.

Also, they aren't doing anything that any other team they're facing isn't doing.

ETA: They also aren't hiding it: LINK

Majority will end up in Catholic League if good enough.

The US teams are at such a disadvantage when you are playing a team from Japan in the finals that pull kids from all over Japan.

To be fair, the Dixie rules are better than LL. The 11-12 year old league playing closed bases is ridiculous.

probably bc outside of the top kids, no one else can make a throw from home to 2nd if a kid gets a jump

There are 2 Jefferson parish teams playing for state in 11-12 Dixie. And the JPRD teams 13yr - 15’s are having great years. Great season for Jefferson parish baseball

I've actually umpired games for them in Little League and USSSA. All except 2 or 3 of these kids play 12maj USSSA ball. I'm not surprised that they're on the verge of a berth in the LLWS.
