Sorry.. I know this is a baseball thread but I just had to get this off my chest.

Softball D3..

#12 Berkeley (3400 kids) defeats #5 Cloverdale (400 kids)

Cloverdale (21-3l moved up from D5
Berkeley (11-15) dropped from D1.

Once again a small school having a generational year gets hosed by the system. Instead of staying at their level with a chance at a special ending they get thrust up against a school with 3000 more kids. If a school goes 11-15 and has to get DROPPED 2 divisions to qualify for the pkayoffs..maybe just maybe they shouldn't be in the playoffs. Just effing dumb..

Vince Wirthman is retiring at Miramonte after five years (87-43 overall, 41-14 in DAL).

Yuba City outlasted Central Catholic 9-8 for the SJS Division III title in a game that saw the Honkers come back from a 6-1 deficit and win on a walk off hit by pitch in the bottom of the ninth.

The Raiders led 6-1 in the bottom of the sixth before Yuba City scored five runs to even the score. Central Catholic took the lead in the ninth when AJ Miligi scored on a wild pitch. Then, Yuba City scored on a well placed bunt with the bases loaded when Central Catholic couldn't get an out anywhere and then Max Guth was hit by a pitch to end the game.

It was a good pitching matchup with Central Catholic's Kayden McHenry (5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 K) and Yuba City's Brandon Pelechowicz (5.1 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 11 K).

Bringing back the Windsor High School Summer Shootout in the heart of wine country! A great opportunity to end your high school summer season with a little team bonding, and your parents will love the chance to visit wonderful Sonoma County, only 30-40 minutes from the coast. The tournament is Friday-Sunday, July 25-27th., and is for high school teams only. We have local hotels that will normally give us team discounts.
Hoping to host at least 16 teams and potentially more. We have two gyms on campus and a middle school gym only 1-2 miles away from the high school. The goal is pool play the first day and a half, then brackets. You will have a six game guarantee. We will utilize local high school officials. The cost per team is $500.
I am hoping to get this formalized by the end of April, so if you are at all interested, let me know. The goal is to get teams far and wide. Nevada, Sacramento, all of the Bay Area and parts of Northern California.

Thanks,

His seven combined steals and blocks in a single scrimmage game showcased how much untapped potential he had.

As Reddit’s r/NBA_Draft community got busy with praise, Byrd’s stock soared, with fans labeling him a “phenomenal bet” for teams seeking a 3-and-D wing. Keep reading to know more about the community’s thoughts on this future star.

Just creating thread for any insights.

Don't tell me there are so few that it really doesn't affect anyone.
