This is definitely an issue everywhere. I'm in Wichita so I definitely know what you're talking about.
Long story short - Son was never going to get the chance to play baseball in the town he lived in (6A school) So he moved to the school that is in my area (Also a 6A) school and was a 3 year Varsity starter and now playing for a college up your way in the Salina area.
IMO - if you can, move her. And dont let anyone guilt you about it. I understand the whole "Well she needs to work harder" well maybe she does but I can tell you in my specific situation, there was a backstory between the coach at his HS and his summer league coach" So yes cutting and running was in our his best interest since he had no desire to quit playing and he really wanted to play for his school. The smaller the town the bigger the politics.
If there is anything that I've learned about Softball culture in our area is that its very toxic and people have huge egos. I personally refuse to deal with anyone.
