All six county softball teams will begin the softball postseason with the Alabama High School Athletic Association area tournament next week.

For all area tournaments, the top-seeded team in the final regular-season standings will serve as the host. Each tournament will be conducted in a double-elimination bracket. The higher seed will be the designated “home team” in the first games, while a coin flip will determine the “home team” in all subsequent games.

Admission is $8 per day plus a processing fee, and all tickets must be purchased through GoFan. No tickets will be available for purchase at the gate.
