And here I was complaining when I have to drive 30 minutes to get to our furthest away game.
Glendive. My wife is from there and still has family there. My boys like to go out to their aunt's place up on Fort Peck.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?
For more perspective my DD’s travel team, based in Seattle, had a pitcher from western Montana play with them the last two seasons. Her parents told me it was a shorter drive to Seattle than it was to eastern Montana where their son played baseball.Holy cow! I knew it's like that, but it's still mind boggling to hear.

Kind of depressing when you can start out driving in the morning, drive all day, stop for the evening and you're still in the same state.For more perspective my DD’s travel team, based in Seattle, had a pitcher from western Montana play with them the last two seasons.

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.
First practice is today. We are in the smallest division in Indiana. Enrollment is just under 300 and we have 20 players this year. First time in a decade we will support a Varsity and JV.
Very excited about the potential this season. We have four seniors signed to play at small schools next year. Our talent level has not been this high for a long time.
