JP Girl All-Star teams play in Bossier City this weekend

If you think you notice a distinct shortage of 8-12 year old girls in the area this weekend you will not be mistaken. That is because 36 of the best youth softball players from Jackson Parish will be in Bossier City competing in their respective Little League District 5 tournaments in an attempt to qualify for the state tournaments in July.

JP8U, JP10U and JP12U All-Star teams will all be in action at the Bossier City Sports Complex, located at 4800 Shed Road, on Friday, June 21st but if you hope to see all three in action be prepared to move around a good bit.

JP12U will be the first to play as they open their three team bracket at 6:00 pm on Field 1 against host Bossier. The winner gets Sterlington, who drew a bye, at 8:30 am on Saturday with the loser playing against the loser of game two at 5:30 pm on Saturday. The championship game is slated for 8:30 am on Sunday, June 23rd.

At 7:00 pm on Friday, JP8U will play DeSoto Parish on Field 6 in their first game of the six team District 5 bracket. The winner plays at 10:00am on Saturday with the loser playing at 7:00pm, also on Saturday.

Just 30 minutes after the 8U team contest starts, the JP10U girls will play on Field 3. They will also play DeSoto Parish with the winner playing at 7:00 pm on Saturday and the loser playing again at 10:00am on June 22nd. The championship game is scheduled for 7:00 pm on Sunday.
