Boys aren't the only ones getting into fights on ball fields.

The Denver Post reported that the Cheyenne Mountain and Wasson High School girls softball teams were involved in a 30-person brawl on Monday night. According to the article, "a woman who was at the game is suspected of third-degree assault...and two juvenile girls are being investigated for fighting."

The fight happened in the parking lot after the game. I'd guess that parents were involved, too. I don't care what happened on the field to spur the fight, there is never an excuse to arm yourself with a bat, like the article says happened.

South Sound athletes played big roles in the all-state football games on Saturday.

In the 4A/3A game in Everett, Curtis' Stan Langlow delivered a victory-clinched hit to secure a 13-12 win for the East.

At the 2A/1A/B game in Yakima, Steilacoom's Greg Herd helped the West to a 31-13 victory over the East. Herd rushed for 70 yards, threw for 134 and ran and passed a touchdown.

Only 51 days until the start of fall practice...
