MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) announced Tuesday that South Charleston will host the state softball tournament from 2020-2024, at Little Creek Park Complex.
Vienna was the most recent host. The state tournament is scheduled for May 27-28 this season.
WVSSAC Executive Director Bernie Dolan released the following statement: “We sincerely thank Steve Black and his staff at Jackson Park for their many years of support and assistance with the event,” SSAC Executive Director Bernie Dolan said in a statement. “All of our state championship venues are put out for bid every four years, and South Charleston was the successful bidder this year. We are excited about this new partnership and look forward to working with South Charleston’s Director of Public Works Mr. Gerald Burgy and his staff as we begin planning for the 2020 tournament.”
