Careful, you are getting close to one of this board’s foundational beliefs - that High School Softball is Just Great!

Ask this board what the ten best 16U or 18U squads in the anrea are, and you’ll get noting but (a) crickets or (b) Bandits, Chill, Bandits, Chill, etc.

Ask this board its impressions of the “MidHighEastside 8 Conference” and you’ll get forensic analysis of each school’s roster.

HS can be fun, and there is certainly value in that. But if your kid is playing A level travel ball, it is a step down in just about every aspect of the game.

June can’t get here fast enough.
