There is one thing High School Baseball has over Travel Ball, hands down. No Sundays when you have to earn your way to a championship appearance the hard way. You spend all day at the park, make it to the championship from the losers bracket, but your pitching is cooked cause of all the games.
That just sucks. Nothing like it in HS Ball. We always regarded the HS season as something of a relief for that reason.
Plus it represented a break from traveling all over the darned state and often out of state.
And it was a lot cheaper.
