East U14's lost their first two games, then won the next 3 finishing 3rd overall.
Remember, each zone had about the same amount of players to choose from, and many talented players play above their age group. So even if a zone is dominating the league, it can only be seen as maybe a slight advantage.
Add to that the coach's selections and tactics and anything can happen in the state championships

I believe the U14 coaching staff are doing a good job and in good faith, if you were slightly more in the know (if you allow me to say so) you would know that there was no bias in selections.
You are absolutely free to post your opinions and naturally your thoughts are as or more valid than mine.
As a coach, I defend coach's honesty and good faith. Always did. Always will.
Hey Wild Turkey, were you the coach or the selector
