On a side note, as much as SoCal is a hotbed for girls soccer, SoCal softball is even a hotter bed. The final between Oklahoma and Florida has 14 Cali girls (almost all from SoCal), 7 from Florida, 4-Ok, 3-Tx, & 3-Ga. Even in years without a California team, the college World Series (8 teams) usually has triple the number of girls from California than any other state.
