Why not? If the only purpose for keeping score was to determine a winner and a loser, I would agree with you, but the same basic scoring rules exist for every level of ball, and those rules include keeping records of what the players do. Why do that if there’s never going to be any comparison of players?
The trouble with the OP is, he(?) never defined what a “district” means. I know it means some kind of group, but I’m not sure what that is. That’s very important because while the entire ML only has 30 teams and 750 players to be concerned with, and divisions only have at most 6 teams in them. The only analog HSs have is a league.
Trouble is, Here in Ca we have 210 leagues! Heck, even a relatively small state like Va has 57 leagues, so that’s gonna take a lot of people just to do the looking. Then, in MLB there’s tons of numbers to use to evaluate players, that very often don’t exist for HS teams. Also, without much difficulty someone could sit in their living room chair and see most games on TV or his laptop, and at worst read accounts of each games in several different places. Contrast that with HS games where often the best one can hope for is a line score in the paper the next day.
What it boils down to is, its just way too much trouble for such a small audience.
