Some believe they duck the tough competition all year and avoid the bigger PS tourneys. But, they silenced their critics by coming up big on the biggest stage in October.

Welcome back fellas. Great run in Vegas. They are on a short list of teams who are contenders for the Gold championship next year.

No team plays with as much passion and fire. They are simply fun to watch as their "swag" is contageous. They truly believe they can beat anybody every time they step on the field which is half the battle. Need to insure they have enough depth because they were stretched thin a few times last year.

Ps.Com Comments: We were impressed in 2013 and even more impressed after this years World Series. They opened by stretching the former Majors Champs HardCor the distance. Then they tore the cover off the ball in the playoffs before finally tapping out T5. Cracking the top 5 in only their second year is something to be proud of. We see them as a team on the rise as they have improved two straight years in a row. Committee Comments: Solid showing in Gold Div at WS for 2nd straight year. 18. Louisiana-Gave Hardcore everything they could handle and finished in 5 Th.

This team arrived at the hotel for their first World Series wearing team jerseys and displaying veteran "swag." One player announced that we at ps.com would be impressed to see them play because they were a "good team." You have to have some confidence to make that proclamation before seeing what the other teams had to offer. We were somewhat dubious because we had not seen them play and only heard scouting reports from correspondents at the Texas Police Games. We will just say that they lived up to the hype. They literally knocked the cover off the ball. They blew through home runs early then proceeded to hit lasers off the outfield walls. They won their bracket games in run rule fashion and were a top seed going into the playoffs. But, they didn't close the deal. They finished a respectable 9th which is quite an accomplishment for a first year team, but we can guarantee they have some unfinished business they plan on attending to next year. For now, welcome to the Top 25 National rankings!
