Torrance outfielder Britney Helm and shortstop Karina Scott were invited to the adidas futures softball event this weekend in St. George, Utah, in what Coach Don Glavich described as "a big deal."

Helm and Scott will be joined by Pioneer League rival Sammy Alvillar, a shortstop from North Torrance, and Caitlin Brown, a first baseman and catcher for Palos Verdes.

Glavich said the event is for the top 100 unsigned high school players in the nation. Pioneer League rival Jenna Rich, a pitcher/shortstop who is committed to Stanford, attended the event last year, showing exactly just how much power this event wields.

Helm and Scott were Daily Breeze All-Area selections who helped lead the Tartars to the Pioneer League title and to the CIF Division V title game. Torrance is so big-time that it even has its own Tartar website now.

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports for more than two years.
