MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) – The State Games of Mississippi continue throughout the weekend with several events taking place throughout the Queen City.

The youth softball tournament was held at the Northeast Softball Complex.

Kids of all ages around the area came out to compete in the tournament, but most importantly, Saturday’s event was to help grow their love of the game.

“Well, a lot of these girls don’t get to play tournaments, so this is kind of their first experience for a lot of them. So they’re getting that tournament experience and maybe some of them will go on to, you know, be tournament team players and get out there and play at a little bit higher level,” said Softball Commissioner, Sonja Rowell.

On top of this weekend being an awesome opportunity for these players, the tournament also brings in visitors from around the area, which boosts the local economy.

“It brings in so many people. It brings in people from all the areas, they come in, they stay in our hotels, they eat in our restaurants, they spend money here, which boosts our local economy,” said Marketing Director for the State Games of Mississippi, Amanda Bratu.

Gold and silver medals were handed out after Championship games were played.
