So you get 2 average to below average AA teams instead of a good AA team and a good A team. (I am looking at you Wave lol)
Actually, this Bear team is an absolute anomaly.
Not taking anything away from the Bears, as I have been noticing that in the past few years, their program/teams have been all rather solid competitors. So they must be doing something right. But seriously, when was the last time you have an AA team that's handily beating up on AAA teams?! Watch, they're going to kick everybody's asses this year, except maybe 1 or 2 teams (GSE1/2 and a darkhorse team maaaaybe) that will give them a run for the money. I think the real reason Bears don't have a second or minor BantamAA team is because they simply don't have enough kids to field a second or a minor BantamAA team. I will bet that if they have enough kids to form a minor BantamAA team, they would.
About your LOL comment to the Wave, what's wrong with what they're doing? As far as I know, Wave and Kings are the only clubs fielding both an all-03 Major and an all-04 Minor teams at the Bantam AA level. Nothing wrong with that.
I don't know a thing about Wave1 (all-03 Major) so perhaps they're average or below average, I have no idea...
Wave2 was meant to be an all-04 minor team knowing that they will take their licks from the major and/or mixed teams. Wave2 kids belong in AA. If anything, they're arguably above average since they have already shown to be competitive with some mixed teams. It's the all-major teams they have trouble with, and that's absolutely expected in my opinion. Everybody knows the major teams are suppose to beat up on the minor teams. Obviously Wave could've combined the two BantamAA teams to form one, but I'm glad they didn't. I had my choices to join a few mixed team, but finding an all-04 BantamAA team was a bonus for us and hopefully the kids can stay and grow together as a unit. Calling one of the two only all-04 team average or below average is unwarranted. Have you ever seen a pure minor year tier team dominate their division with 95% major or mixed major/minor teams? No, you haven't.
It's too bad that BantamAA is not split into major and minor. Because if that was the case, Wave2 would be a top minor contender. But it is what it is and we went into BantamAA with no delusion that this team will win some, and lose some. Hopefully losing only to major teams and winning against the mixed ones...
