Good point 643dp---I think we're all adults and understand the facts of life and realize that many schools in the Toledo City League have not had the advantages of some of the other city schools, to say nothing of the outlying suburban districts.
I know for certain that there are many outstanding athletes in these schools who would excel at ANY sport they were exposed to and supported in, but let's face it, competitive softball is not cheap, and requires A LOT of parental support, that many of these girls just don't have. :'(
You take basketball or track, where most of these schools have traditionally concentrated their efforts, and they will kick your behind up and down the block (and make you grateful to them for it ?
)!!!
I feel if these schools were exposed to softball as much as the schools we usually rattle on about, and had the funding for it, they would show us ?ALL what to do with our asterisks.
