HMB ready to host softball tournament

Cougars to play WCAL teams in pool play

Now that she knows how to run a high school softball tournament, Naomi Patridge says the planning for the second Half Moon Bay Varsity Softball Tournament was easier.

The only issue that Patridge can’t control is the weather. She’s hoping for the best in that regard.

Everything else is set for the tournament. The brackets are set, the teams know when their pool games are and the fields are taken care of.

The Central Coast Section, which sanctions all tournaments in all sports, gave its blessing for the tournament after Patridge drove down to the CCS office last fall.

Half Moon Bay’s first game comes at 5 p.m. Thursday against St. Ignatius. Half Moon Bay plays its second game at 5 p.m. Friday against Soquel. The Cougars final pool game is at 10:15 a.m., Saturday against Notre Dame-Belmont.

New CCS rules change the way the tournament is run. Instead of a semifinal and final game, the winner of pool A plays the winner of pool B, with the rest of the teams playing their opposites in the other pool.

Everyone is guaranteed of four games.

The other side of the bracket features Carlmont, Hillsdale, Pioneer and Presentation.

“The tournament gives the girls a chance to play different teams,” Patridge said.
