Corbin beat South 3-0 in the district, for the first time in school history South has finished with a losing record. North does have a decent record (22-9) going into region, but no way are they beating Clay to win the region. This is the 25th year of fast pitch, North (with 17) and South (with 6) combined to win the first 23 years (they were in the 12th region for the first 10 years or so). Clay Co. broke the string last year and should repeat this year, they are really good. My point is--has softball slipped that much here? Can't see it getting much better at South anytime soon, don't have much coming up. North did have a really, really good middle school team, so maybe they have a better chance of coming back, but will kids play for Gregory? He had probably 7 or 8 kids this year that either quit during the season or played last year and didn't even bother coming out this year. It's sad for me, because these used to be the programs we knew year in and year out would make noise statewide. Now we're just middle of the packers at best.
