A city the size of BR, Nola, Lafayette should have zero need to travel for “good competition”. Northshore as well. Maybe some of small towns need to travel 20-30 miles at most. Its BS and its a scam by people trying to make money.

I truly don't understand why people in the LC area think they need to travel outside of Calcasieu Parish until high school. We're the best area in the state and one of the best areas in the entire nation, but you'd think these kids would never play "real competition" if they didn't do travel/tourney ball

Summer baseball is no different than high school football for small towns. In the late 70's, when I played American Legion ball in Farmerville, I remember driving to Springhill, Bernice, Haynesville and Homer.

Now they could play Sterlington teams, West Monroe teams, Monroe teams, Bastrop, Delhi, Rayvile. They could drop down and play an Alexandria team.
