A senior trip will happen once in those girls lifetime. That was the third wedding the mom of the catcher on my DDs team had.
If the school scheduled the senior trip then perhaps even the schools administrators didn't feel that the game was that important.
There will ALWAYS be something that is more important than a softball game.
Last year on my DDs team the starting catcher left Sparklers Jr Power Pool after the third day in Colorado because she had to fly to Hawaii to be in her mom's wedding. I guess she's a spineless piece of garbage and...
You're right, we don't know if these girls are going to prep for PGF and Sparklers but we also don't know if they aren't. PGF is the pinnacle for 18U/non college softball players in the country, I was only giving a example as to why these two young ladies would skip out on a prep game.

That ucla uses the Eastons and Easton giving nice fat discounts to certain organizations helps with the bats popularity.
Bats are a funny thing and each brand has a cyclical demand. The CF8 was awesome, everyone loved it, the black LXT was pretty amazing as well. Then your organization makes...
Alright, perhaps nobody is too much of a generalization. There are a handful of schools here, Norco, Los Alamitos, Gahr, Great Oak, Huntington Beach, Grand Terrace and a few private schools that care about HS ball. All of those schools are coached by travel ball coaches.
For all of the...
Gasso, herself, must have been in another state watching kids who will actually start at OU.
Interesting that 3 of the 5 instate signees club with teams from other states.
