SPRING SPORTS NEWSLETTER
March, 2010
With spring tournaments right around the corner, the
Southwest District Board members share changes for the spring:
Baseball
Perhaps the biggest change will be the tournament structure. Per
the recommendations of the Baseball Coaches’ Association,
Sectional finals will be played during District final week.
Sectional finals will be on either Wednesday or Thursday, May 19
or 20, 2010, and District finals will be on either Friday or
Saturday, May 21 or 22, 2010. This alignment only allows one day
in between contests. Inclement weather could play a significant
role in this schedule.
Sectional play will begin on Monday, May 10, 2010. Divisions I and II will play on Tuesday and Thursday nights while Divisions III and IV will play on Monday and Wednesday nights. District finals will be scattered across the district. Division I will play at either Western Hills or Fairmont, Division II will play at Mason, Division III will play at Urbana, Franklin, or Kings High Schools, and Division IV will play at Newton, Lebanon, or Centerville High Schools.
Coaches will find the same managerial team this year.
Softball
The board welcomes one new manager, Mr. Richard Bryant, Athletic
Administrator, Lakota East High School. He will manage one
section of the Division I District Tournament. One
significant change this year is that Division I lost
representation. This year four teams will advance to the
regional whereas in past years we sent five qualifiers to the
regionals. This new representation caused a realignment of
teams in both the South and North.
Track
The board welcomes one new manager, Mr. Ed Crawford. He will
manage both Boys and Girls Division I at Troy High School. Per
the recommendation of the coaches, the meet at Troy will be held
on Wednesday and Friday nights, May 19 and 21, 2010. This should
align all Division I meets in the Southwest to the same night.
Tennis
The board welcomes one new manager, Mr Eric Maclin. He
will be managing Division I and II at Mason High School.
