Welcome, Burt! Eastern? Central? Western? Montana. Having spent a couple years there, I see how there are some long bus rides to games.In Montana, we start a week from Monday (the 11th). We have already had our pre-season meetings and it looks like we'll have 24 players. Not bad for a HS enrollment of only 228. Much better than the 11 or 12 player rosters we had when I first started. Only about 11 (possibly 12 by post-season) will ever see any varsity time, so JV will roster 13 since we decided not to cut anyone. I still think 13 is too many since JV games are typically only 3 to 4 innings (due to time), but JV is about development so the decision was made to keep everyone. Our JV coaches will have their work cut out for them trying to find playing time for that 12th and 13th player, though.

Holy cow! I knew it's like that, but it's still mind boggling to hear.Thanks! I've lurked here for awhile. I'm in the East, and you aren't kidding about the long bus rides. We're Class B and our closest conference opponent is 260 miles away. We have a handful of Class A teams that are a bit more manageable. They're "only" 125 to 200 miles away.

Are those overnight trips?Yep, as a guy who grew up in east TX where there was a school our size every 25 miles, it was eye opening. Our rivals back home were 5 and 20 miles away. Here they are 50 and 70 miles away. Unfortunately, they dont field softball teams.
Where were you when in MT?
