The second annual North Texas Showdown Volleyball League is still signing up athletes for its May league. The league is open to all incoming Wise County seventh through 12th grade girls, and the cost is $50 per player. High school teams will play on Friday nights, while middle school spikers will compete on Saturdays. The season will end May 31 with a tournament. T-shirts will be provided for all students and awards will be given for MVP, best hitter, best setter and best defense given at the end of the season. To get into the action, call coach Brandy Mayfield at (940) 210-0745.
The Decatur Girls Softball Association has rescheduled its "opening ceremony" for Saturday, April 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to kick off the season. The event was set for this weekend, but organziers decided to move it because of the weather. There will be local vendors, raffles, great food and lots of fun games for all ages with some specialized skill training sessions, too. Prizes will be awarded to girls from each age group. Individual and team pictures will also be taken. There are a few vendor spaces left, and there is no fee to set up a table or booth. For more information or to set up a booth, call Terri at (817) 360-2433. This is a non-profit organization, and this is its main fundraising event for the girls and the season.

Beware of sports scam
The Decatur High School athletic department said solicitors are asking local businesses to buy advertisements for a calendar, but the department has not authorized anyone to produce a calendar. The school does not receive any proceeds from this.
