well I got the hosting a regional, and who we'd be matched with in the supers correct. A little off on the rest of my predictions

the team met my expectations by parents weekend (35 wins).

what's truly remarkable is the overall W-L record. May end up being the program's best since 1993.

the Ags' 2011 CWS team finished with 22 losses. This team is sitting on just 11 right now
