...And the weather holds on for a great opening week of softball!



The north coast's weather teased us a bit both on opening day and the middle of this week, but the skies stayed mostly dry for us. Despite the wet threats and a few showers, the Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball Association's 2008 spring season kicked off this week. Even a brief hailstorm on Tuesday night couldn't drive our teams off the fields!

16 games have already been played in this young season, in three towns, on five fields, and among 21 teams. And there's plenty more to come.

Check out the photos from last Saturday's games between our own Mad River 10 & Under teams. Our youngest pitchers are already looking like seasoned pros out there.

We'd love to share your photos or hear your softball stories on this website. Coaches, parents, kids, grandparents...please email us your photos, classic moments, or play-by-play game commentary, and we'll do our darnedest to get them up for all to see. It'll be great to share the fun we're having playin' softball in Humboldt County.

And if you want to catch some really great softball, the HSU softball team begins their hunt for the CCAA championship tournament this week, and HSU and the city of Arcata host the NCAA Division II Western Regional Tournament May 7-11 at HSU. Check out the papers or the HSU softball website for updates.
