[B. Wise]

You are right B. Wise, I am both a father of a player and a coach. I just don't understand how we don't classify softball with all the classification of sports in our state. A big school has an advantage simply by having more pitchers available. I agree there should be an A tournament, but AA schools should also play for a state championship.

Classification of sports creates more playoff and championship games, therefore more money. Spending more money on girls sports - ain't gonna happen anytime soon would be my guess. Think about it - how many schools are fielding softball and/or volleyball to meet Title 9 requirements. Why would the state throw money at a sport that, in the eyes of many, is just there to keep the lawyers off their backs? JMHO - not that I agree - which I don't by the way.
