OMQ,
You have to realize in East Texas, area so spread out that
gripping leads to nothing. A lot of these towns only have
populations of 1800-2000 people and the schools can only
afford one good field and the boys were playing a few years
prior to the gals. I agree, it is not a fair situtation,
however, it does exist. Things have looked better for the
medium to larger schools though. Most 3A, 4A, and 5A areas
have some very fine softball fields. I would think that the
same holds true for the La. area, although I have called on
some very nice fields, complexs there. We have two very nice
complexes in the Beaumont area, however, the rental cost keeps
the smaller schools away. Mostly used for ASA and AFA tourneys.
