2025 Fall PGF Show Me the Money Preview

The PGF Show Me The Money returns to Newberry, Florida this weekend, November 1-2, 2025, bringing together some of the nation’s top programs for one of the most competitive events of the fall. Champions Park will be packed with elite talent, sharp coaching, and teams looking to make a statement before the season winds down. Every inning will matter, every matchup will count, and by Sunday, only the most complete teams will still be standing.

18U Pool A

The 18U division is loaded with power, experience, and programs built to win big games. From veteran lineups to pitching staffs that can shut down anyone in the bracket, this group has everything you want in high-level softball. The talent is deep, the competition is tight, and the fight for the title should come down to who delivers in the circle and keeps the bats steady under pressure.

Florida Impact Yates/Lingle
Florida Impact has been one of the more complete teams early this fall. They’ve opened 4-1 and piled up 53 runs in five games, showing real power one through nine. The pitching staff has kept things under control too, which gives them a chance to hang with anyone in this field. If the bats stay hot, they’ll be a factor late in the weekend.

Rock Gold Manetta
Rock Gold hasn’t missed a beat to start the season, rolling to a 5-0 record with a mix of sharp pitching and timely hitting. They’re built to win close games and rarely beat themselves. This is a confident group that knows how to finish. Expect to see them near the top of the standings when the dust settles.

Tampa Mustangs Langston
The Mustangs have taken their lumps early, starting 1-4, but the record doesn’t tell the full story. They’ve faced strong competition and showed flashes of what they can be. The lineup has some serious pop, and if they find their rhythm this weekend, they could flip the script and surprise someone.

Unity Pryor
Unity enters at 3-2 after a solid first showing. They can score in bunches and handle pressure well. There’s still some polish to come, but the pieces are there. If they build on that opening weekend, they could shake up this pool and steal a win that matters.

Breakers Labs Bobby 18U
Don’t let the 9-9-2 record fool you. Breakers Labs has played one of the toughest early schedules in California and come through it battle-tested. They’ve beaten quality teams, have strength in the circle, and don’t lean too hard on any one player. This is a group that knows how to compete. Expect them to make noise.

Pool Prediction
Rock Gold and Breakers Labs look like the class of this group, each bringing reliable pitching and deep lineups. Breakers might have a slight edge thanks to the experience of a heavier schedule, but Florida Impact is right there in the hunt. This one feels like it could come down to the final innings on Sunday.

18U Pool B

Clearwater Bullets Patton 18U
The Bullets have been busy this fall, already racking up a 17-6-1 record. They’ve played a full schedule and looked sharp doing it, especially at the plate. The offense has been steady and productive, while the pitching has held up well enough to keep them in games. Expect them to be right in the thick of things in this pool.

Florida Gold Torres 18U (Weston)
Florida Gold has opened the fall at 11-5-1 and shown solid balance across the board. The pitching has been strong, and the lineup knows how to manufacture runs. They’re a tough, well-coached group that can grind out wins. Another team that should be squarely in the mix when it counts.

Newtown Rock Gold-Garvey
Newtown Rock has faced a heavy schedule this fall and sits at 12-8-1. The record doesn’t tell the full story, as they’ve faced some strong competition and grabbed a few impressive wins along the way. If they can find a little more consistency, they have the talent to push for the top spot.

Carolina Elite 18U National
There’s not much recent data available on this group, but Carolina Elite is a name that always commands respect. Year after year, this program produces tough, well-prepared teams. If they show up in rhythm, they could easily be the surprise of the weekend.

Pool Prediction
This one feels wide open. Carolina Elite is the wildcard, but the rest of the field is evenly matched and capable of putting together a run. Clearwater, Florida Gold, and Newtown Rock all have enough offense to make noise, so this pool could turn into a weekend-long coin flip.

18U Pool C

Central Florida Gold – Peterson 18U
Central Florida Gold has opened the fall at 14-3 and looks locked in. The pitching staff has been sharp, limiting damage all month, while the offense has shown the ability to break open games in a hurry. This group is clearly in the hunt for the top spot and looks ready to make a strong push this weekend.

NJ Intensity KOD
It’s not completely clear which Intensity squad is entered, but if it’s the one that’s been competing on the fall circuit, they sit around 5-6. They’re used to top-tier competition and battle-tested from tough weekends. Expect them to be scrappy and looking to build on last week’s performance.

Santa Fe Inferno White
Santa Fe Inferno White enters at 2-4 after their first event of the fall. The pieces are there, but consistency has been the challenge. This weekend is a chance to settle in, find their rhythm, and maybe play spoiler against a couple of heavyweights in the group.

D1 Vision 18U National
D1 Vision has been dominant early, coming in at a perfect 4-0. The pitching has been lights out, and the bats have been just as impressive. They’re well-coached, disciplined, and look like the team to beat in Pool C.

Pool Prediction
This one should come down to D1 Vision and Central Florida Gold. Both have been excellent in the circle and can score in different ways. The slight edge goes to Florida Gold, who has the benefit of more game experience this fall and the confidence that comes with it.

18U Pool D

NLS Black 18U
This will be the first tournament of the fall for NLS Black after a few solid-looking scrimmages. The talent is there, but they draw a tough group right out of the gate. They’ll need to bring energy and execution early if they want to make noise. Playing spoiler is absolutely within reach if they can string together some innings.

Santa Fe Inferno Nowling
Santa Fe Inferno enters as one of the hottest teams in the country at 12-0. They’ve been dominant in the circle and timely at the plate, finding ways to win tight games. The pitching depth and poise make them the clear favorite here, and until someone knocks them off, they’re the standard in this pool.

Team North Carolina (Hinde) 25-26
Team NC sits at 5-6 so far but has played a competitive schedule. The record doesn’t quite reflect how well they’ve competed. They’ve shown flashes of being a very solid team and will look to bounce back this weekend. If they can clean up the small things, they have the potential to challenge for the top spot.

So Cal Athletics James 26 National
This marks the season debut for So Cal Athletics after a strong 31-9-2 summer. They’re a traditionally powerful program with plenty of experience, and if they come out sharp, they can cause real problems. Expect them to be a factor once they find their footing.

Pool Prediction
Inferno enters as the clear favorite, riding a perfect record and dominant pitching. Their experience and depth should keep them in control. So Cal Athletics has the talent to push them, and Team North Carolina could be the dark horse if they rediscover their rhythm.

18U Pool E

Hotshots – Treasure Coast 18U Vargas
The Hotshots are sitting at 3-5-1 and searching for some steadiness on both sides of the ball. They’ve shown flashes of potential but need more consistency at the plate and in the circle to stay competitive in this pool. If they can settle in early, they have the talent to catch someone off guard.

Rock Gold Manetta Gabriele 16U
Rock Gold has been trending in the right direction at 8-4, riding a five-game win streak. The pitching staff has been sharp, and the lineup can absolutely swing it. They’re younger but dangerous, and if they keep this momentum rolling, they could make things very interesting.

Tampa Mustangs Gleason
The Mustangs enter at 5-4 after a solid, competitive weekend. They’re a well-rounded team with depth in the lineup and reliable pitching. There’s nothing flashy here, just steady, smart softball. Expect them to be in the mix from start to finish.

Unity Meadows 18U / Luke
Unity comes in at 4-3 and has faced the toughest schedule in this group. Their pitching is steady, but the real strength is in the bats. They can put pressure on teams in a hurry and have the experience to handle tight games. On paper, this looks like the team to beat in Pool E.

Pool Prediction
Unity Meadows looks like the most balanced team here, tested by a stronger schedule and capable in every phase. Rock Gold’s hot streak makes them a real threat, and the Mustangs could easily play their way into contention. The Hotshots have the ability to disrupt things if they find their rhythm early.

18U Pool F

MI Bombers Gold Tighe 18U
The Bombers have been rolling this fall with a 9-1 record and an offense that’s been tough to contain. They’ve piled up big run totals while backing it up with strong pitching performances. This group looks confident and complete. Right now, they’re the team everyone else is chasing.

Plantation Wagners – Kliniewski
It’s been a slow start for Wagners at 0-4, but this group has too much experience to stay down for long. They’re working to wake up the bats and find consistency in the circle. If they can clean up the small stuff early, they’re capable of turning the weekend around.

Santa Fe Inferno Strickland
Inferno started the fall strong before cooling off recently, sitting at 4-5. They’ve shown they can compete but need to regain that early spark. With the right rhythm at the plate, they’re more than capable of knocking off a favorite and shaking up the standings.

Tampa Mustangs RT
The Mustangs enter at 10-8 after a rough last tournament, but overall, they’ve played solid ball this fall. The lineup can score in bunches, and when the pitching settles in, they’re a tough matchup for anyone. Expect them to be in the hunt for the top spot if they find some early momentum.

Pool Prediction
MI Bombers Gold look like the team to beat with the way they’re swinging it and controlling games in the circle. If the Mustangs find their rhythm, they’ll be right there with them at the top. These two have the depth and firepower to decide Pool F between themselves.

18U Pool G

Chobee AMP 18U
This will be the first event of the fall for Chobee AMP after finishing last summer with a solid 15-8-3 record. They’ve got the pieces to compete if they can pick up where they left off, but this is a tough pool to debut in. Expect them to battle hard and look to build momentum through the weekend.

Mamba Fastpitch
Mamba has come out strong at 8-2 and looks sharp on both sides of the ball. The pitching has been excellent, allowing fewer than two runs per game, and the lineup has been reliable in key moments. This group has the tools to hang with anyone and should be right in the mix.

Tampa Mustangs Affrunti/Hancock
The Mustangs are 6-5-1 and have shown flashes of what they can be. They started the fall strong before hitting some bumps last time out. The bats are powerful, and if the pitching finds consistency, they’ll be right near the top of this pool.

Unity Johnson 18U
This is the first event of the fall for Unity Johnson after an impressive 29-9-1 summer. They play a demanding schedule and know how to handle pressure. Loaded with talent and experience, they come in as the clear favorite and the team everyone else is chasing.

Pool Prediction
Unity Johnson enters as the favorite with the roster and pedigree to control this group. Mamba and the Mustangs both have the firepower to challenge, while Chobee AMP will look to play spoiler and build off a strong summer foundation.

18U Pool H

FL Firecrackers Yeary
The Firecrackers have started the fall strong at 11-5 and are coming off a solid weekend of play. The pitching has looked sharp, and if the bats start to heat up, they have the potential to push near the top of this group. They’re a tough, well-coached squad that can hang with anyone when things click.

SoCal Athletics 18U Premier
SoCal Athletics continue to trend upward after an improved showing last weekend. They have plenty of talent and just need to piece it all together at the same time. If the offense finds its rhythm, this group could be a real problem for the rest of the pool.

Clearwater Bombers Mason
The Bombers have been excellent at 17-2-1 this fall, showing both power and consistency. Last weekend was a little bump in the road, but this team has proven they can bounce right back. The bats have been hot, and they’re absolutely in the mix to challenge for the top spot.

Top Gun 18U National
Top Gun enters as one of the premier programs in this event. They bring a lineup packed with power and a rotation that can dominate any matchup. Their experience and depth make them a tough out for anyone. Expect them to set the tone early and stay there.

Pool Prediction
Top Gun looks like the one to beat, with a combination of power, pitching, and poise that should keep them in control. The Bombers, Firecrackers, and SoCal all have the potential to pull an upset, but someone will need a perfect weekend to unseat the favorite.

18U Pool I

Firecrackers Mueller 26/27
The Firecrackers come in at 4-6 with a few close losses that could have swung the other way. They’ve shown flashes of solid offense but need a bit more consistency to stay in contention. If they can tighten things up on both sides, they’ll be right in the mix.

FL Stars National Lopez/Santana
The Stars are off to an 0-3-1 start but are just getting going in their second event of the year. The talent is there, and this weekend is a good chance to put it all together. This group has potential and could turn heads if they start clicking early.

Pool Prediction
This pool feels completely up for grabs, which should make for a fun weekend of games. Wildfire gets a slight edge thanks to their hot start and consistent offense, but any of these four could make a run if they find momentum early.

Top Gun has the depth, discipline, and star power to take this one home. They’ve got arms that can go the distance, bats that can change games, and the composure that tends to separate champions from contenders. With so many balanced teams in the mix, it won’t come easy, but Top Gun looks built for the moment.

16U

The 16U division at the PGF Show Me The Money might be the most balanced field of the weekend. Every pool has championship-caliber teams, and nearly all of them have shown they can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the country. It’s a mix of proven programs and rising contenders, and the margins will be razor-thin. The team that throws the best innings late and keeps the bats steady will have the edge when Sunday rolls around.

Top Gun is also unbeaten at 4-0-1 and looks loaded with talent. They’ve shown power at the plate and command in the circle, giving them the look of a legitimate contender. When these two unbeaten squads collide, it could be one of the weekend’s marquee matchups.

Pool Prediction
This pool feels destined for a showdown between Santa Fe Inferno and Top Gun. Both are deep and disciplined, but Inferno gets the edge thanks to their perfect record and larger body of work. Batbusters and the Lady Dukes both have the talent to make things interesting if either favorite slips.

16U Pool C

Santa Fe Inferno Sweatt

14U

The 14U division at the PGF Show Me The Money is shaping up to be fast-paced, competitive, and full of future stars. This group brings a mix of powerhouse programs and emerging talent, all eager to make their mark in Newberry. The bats are lively, the pitching is sharper than ever, and the energy level will be high from the first pitch to the final out. Every team here can win a big game, but only the ones that stay composed under pressure will make a real run on Sunday.

14U Pool A

Carolina Elite Foster
Carolina Elite enters at 19-10-2 after a strong weekend that saw both the bats and pitching deliver. The offense has been productive all fall, and the pitching staff continues to keep them in every game. They’re playing with confidence and should be right in the mix again.

Firecrackers FL 29/30 14U
The Firecrackers are red hot at 12-3, winning six straight and looking sharp in all phases. The pitching has been consistent, and the lineup is capable of breaking games open quickly. With that combination, they’re absolutely a contender for the top spot.

Power Softball
Power Softball has been steady and balanced, sitting at 17-4. The pitching has been a clear strength, and when the bats get rolling, this group can be dangerous. They’ve shown they can handle tight games and should be pushing near the top of the standings.

Mustangs Ohana
The Mustangs are 8-4 and just came off a challenging weekend playing up at the 16U level. That experience will serve them well here, as they’re a talented, complete team at 14U. With strong pitching, timely hitting, and a tested lineup, they enter as the ones to beat.

Pool Prediction
Mustangs Ohana look like the favorites with their balance, experience, and poise in big moments. Power Softball has the talent to challenge, while Carolina Elite and the Firecrackers are capable of pulling an upset. Expect a competitive pool from top to bottom.

14U Pool B

Clearwater Lady Bombers King
The Lady Bombers are 12-5 and continue to show strength at the plate. The offense has been dependable, putting pressure on opponents, but they’re still looking for a bit more consistency in the circle. If the pitching steadies, this team has the tools to hang with anyone in the pool.

Coastal Impact
Coastal Impact sits at 3-10-1 but has been far more competitive than the record suggests. They’ve been in nearly every game and have shown flashes of real offensive potential. If they can close out a few tight ones, they could spoil someone’s weekend.

Rock Gold Diab-Manetta
Rock Gold has been impressive at 12-7, with several strong wins already on their résumé. The lineup is packed with power, and they’ve shown they can light up the scoreboard quickly. Expect them to be a serious contender for the top of the pool.

Hotshots 14U National Torres/Seneca
The Hotshots have been dominant early, going 7-1 while facing strong competition. Their pitching staff has been in control, and the bats have matched that energy. With their balance and discipline, they enter as the clear team to beat in this group.

Pool Prediction
The Hotshots are the favorite here, bringing a complete lineup and top-tier pitching. Rock Gold and the Lady Bombers both have the firepower to make things interesting, while Coastal Impact will look to break through with an upset.

14U Pool C

EC Bullets 14U Re
The Bullets have started strong at 3-0-1 and look sharp early in the season. This weekend will be their first major test of the fall, and it should show where they stack up. They’ve got the pitching and defense to compete with anyone, so keep an eye on this group.

Santa Fe Inferno Hooper
Inferno has been rolling at 9-2, with pitching that’s been steady and an offense that’s capable of breaking games open. They’re scoring runs in bunches and playing with confidence. Expect them to push hard for the top spot in this pool.

Windermere Wildfire 14U Bonnett
Wildfire sits at 10-9-1 and has proven they can put runs on the board. The offense has been reliable, and if the pitching can find a little more consistency, this team could make things interesting. They’ve got the potential to be a spoiler here.

Clearwater Bullets Farmer
Clearwater Bullets have been excellent at 16-9-1, with strong pitching and several quality wins against tough competition. They’ve already proven they can handle older and experienced teams, making them the team to beat in this pool.

Pool Prediction
Clearwater Bullets look like the favorite with their experience and proven success against top-level competition. Santa Fe Inferno has the offensive firepower to challenge, while EC Bullets and Wildfire both have the talent to make it tight. The edge goes to Clearwater based on consistency and strength of schedule.

14U Pool D

Plantation Wagners Blue
Wagners are off to a 1-3 start and still finding their footing this fall. The offense has shown some promise, putting together quality at-bats, but they’ll look to tighten things up defensively and on the mound. If they find their rhythm, they could play spoiler in this group.

Rock Gold Manetta
Rock Gold sits at 5-9 and continues to grind through a competitive schedule. The lineup has shown flashes, but the key will be getting the pitching staff to lock in and string together complete games. If they do, this team has the experience to make a push.

Sparks Elite
At 2-0 (assuming this is the correct Sparks group), they’re just getting started but come from a proven, high-level program. The early results have been promising, and they should be right in the mix once they settle into their fall schedule.

Virginia Unity Hargrave/Henry
Unity has played a heavy schedule at 13-14, gaining valuable experience along the way. They’ve picked up some solid wins and continue to compete well against strong opponents. With that much time on the field, they’re due to put everything together soon.

Pool Prediction
This pool feels wide open, with no clear favorite. Any of these teams could catch fire and take control if they find momentum. Sparks may have a slight edge based on program strength and early form, but this one truly looks like a toss-up heading into the weekend.

14U Pool E

Lady Dukes National 14U Flowers/Lamar
The Lady Dukes are off to a 1-3 start and still finding their rhythm. They’ve shown flashes of potential both at the plate and in the circle but are searching for consistency in both areas. Once they settle in, this group has the talent to make some noise.

TN Mojo 2011 Brown
Mojo has been sharp early with a 7-2-1 record and looks like one of the more complete teams in the field. The offense has been lively, and the pitching staff continues to deliver quality outings. They come in confident and may be the team to beat in this pool.

TN Mojo 2029 Collier
The younger Mojo squad sits at 9-7-2 after a strong start that’s cooled slightly. They’ve shown they can score in bunches and have the kind of offense that can change games quickly. If they find a little more consistency, they’ll be right in contention.

Jacksonville Storm Premier Way
The Storm enter at 2-7 but are coming off a better showing in their most recent event. The pitching staff is beginning to find its rhythm, and that could help them turn the corner. If they continue to build momentum, they could play spoiler in this pool.

Pool Prediction
TN Mojo 2011 Brown looks like the top team in this group, bringing both strong pitching and an offense that can carry games. The rest of the field has talent, but they’ll need to elevate their play to unseat the favorite.
