Why this matters in Southlake News
The rescue of the Parker County Pickles youth baseball team by the Cajun Navy 2016 in Mississippi brings attention to the potential risks that local sports teams face when traveling for tournaments. As a community that values youth sports and often sends teams to compete in other states, Southlake residents should be aware of the precautions that can be taken to ensure player safety while traveling.
