I just checked out Tourney app and it looks like the Crabs 2027's over-performed dramatically compared to their HoCo showing. In 2021 HoCo, three teams were way ahead of everybody, and Crabs were a punching bag. They did not make the playoffs. But this weekend they fared surprisingly well against national competition. Of course January tournaments are not necessarily a gauge of anything, but it looks like the Crabs 2027 team is a different team. It is unfortunate if they cheated and used a current 2026, and were dense enough to feature him on a social media post, but the overhaul is surely more than just one player. The same thing happened with Crabs 2026. They were horrific a couple of years ago, but overnight became a team of studs who have creamed everybody in 2026 elite except the Hawks, and will likely beat Hawks pretty badly this spring. If your son is on 2027 Crabs and is not 14-15 years old, you should look for a new team. If your son is on MadLax, Nextlevel, or Hawks, get ready for a new team at the party this spring!

The Crabs played in the soft bracket at Sandstorm. They had one tough pool play game and lost it to ADVNC. They lost 8-1 to the Kings in a shortened bracket game (18 min halves). They would have had a losing record in pool play if they had played in the other pool (Kings, TX Nationals, Mad Dog and True IL).

PP here. I stand corrected. You always get a better feel for a team on the ground than checking scores on tourney app. But if the are still lightweights, why is a big deal that they used one 2026? Maybe he was visiting his grandparents in California and wanted to get a few runs in a game where Crabs were getting killed anyway by the Kings?

Was that the reason King Crustacean gave, Sounds reasonable
