Isn't it time for state championships in baseball, softball?
It was a struggle, but they finally Ok'd an extension of the football
playoffs beyond the CIF Southern Section division championships which
some observers are calling the "state playoffs," although more accurate
terminology would be a collection of bowl games. They began two years
ago with three divisions, and now five are planned.
After watching games in the CIF-SS softball and baseball playoffs over
the weekend, it begs to raise the question, why are there not also
opportunities in place to determine state champions in those sports?
Regarding softball ; I believe a State Championship is an excellent idea, Both of our daughters played at El Rancho over ten years ago. Now playing with the possibility of maybe participating at the State level, any player would dream of. As a father I would like to be able to take our girls to a game of that magnitude. The girls who make it WOW! When I go to the football games on Friday nights I open up the football program there’s a message that reads like this ( Teachers have used the game of football “SOFTBALL “ as a tool to teach and build character , self-respect, loyalty, team spirit, and responsibility ). These qualities will take our youth far into the twenty-first century. ( Softball I inserted ) , One more HUGE game would only reinforce those qualities. I’m sure there’s a lot more benefits to be enjoy .
