Well none of them have won state but st.benedict has placed in the top 3 for 3 yrs now.. the west just really isnt known for softball.. your rite it doesnt help that memphis is just now getting a softball team..Everyone looks to mid tennessee and never to the west, that could be one problem.. there are some good coaches in the west, there not all the same, there not all football coaches..sometimes it is the schools fault for caring more about football and basketball and not about softball, but some schools do care, not all.... memphis does have a wonderful pitching coach, as well as hitting, fielding and anything else softball related.. the west is just seriously under rated... there really are some good players from the west, no one knows about them because they dont get any media attention or any recognition.. maybe that should change! everyone should watch out at state this year things could be changing!
