Softball Playing at Guyer?

[Mrs. Esterhouse]

Why is the softball team playing all of their home fall games at Guyer High School? 

[Matt from A700]

Maybe to establish a relationship with Guyer? That might be the logical answer, but who knows the real reason.

Looking at MaxPreps, Guyer has had a good program, and made it to the state championship last year. Would be great to get a couple gals from there. Seems like most of our Metroplex softball recruiting has come from Collin County.

Are there improvements being made at “The Lace”?

Hope so. The ladies deserve better than a high school stadium.

I went to Fayetteville for one of their tournaments last season and I loved Arky's stadium.

Thank you.  Hopefully we will see some plans soon.

Probably not, softball recruiting is nothing like football recruiting and HS softball talent, relatively speaking, is far inferior to HS football.

Looks like the renovations are just to the dugout and clubhouse.  I'd really love to see an expansion and shelter added to the stadium. 

Thrilled to see any renovations to Lovelace but, as far as softball stadiums go, Lovelace is fairly average to below average.

I was at Tarleton State last month and was really impressed with their stadium (photo below).  They just upgraded to add a shelter and they have all an all turf field, something most programs, including high schools, have now.  Little Elm HS' softball stadium is very similar to this.

I hate, hate, hate all turf fields.
