Interesting story here, my daughter has played on travel teams with several of the girls on this team from Mercedes. They were notified on Thursday evening that the team that beat them, Eagle Pass, in the West Texas area was DQ'ed for using some illegal players. Thus, they have had 2 days notice to round up their girls from hither and yon, including two leaving a National tournament, to drive to New Mexico and play tomorrow morning.
What was odd is that the girls from Mercedes had handily beaten EP during the tournament and EP came back and beat them two straight to win, it looked like a different team.
Cheating is bad no matter what, but in a Little League or Pony deal it is just way wrong.
