April 5, 2009 - 2:41 pm
Seventeen Southern Nevada softball teams will spend the first part of their spring break trying to win a tournament title.
The Spring Jamboree and Charger Invitational softball tournaments begin Monday and run through Wednesday and should showcase some of the top high school talent in California and Nevada.
A total of 32 teams are entered in the Charger Invitational at West Flamingo Park.
Cimarron-Memorial, Desert Oasis, Green Valley, Shadow Ridge, Valley and host Clark all will vie for one of the four tournament championships against a field largely comprised of California schools.
Each team will play three pool games and a minimum of two bracket games in the three-day event.
Meanwhile, a mainly local field will compete in the 15-team Spring Jamboree at Majestic Park.
Entered in the event are: Arbor View, Bishop Gorman, Bonanza, Centennial, Cheyenne, Coronado, Durango, Foothill, Liberty, Palo Verde and Rancho. Centennial is the defending champion.
