In girls travel softball, highly competitive local teams are becoming a thing of the past.

The Richmond Rockets 16U travel team is bucking that trend with all of their players coming from a small radius. Along with Richmond-Burton, players also come from McHenry, Antioch, Lakes and Wilmot (Wis.) high schools.

The Rockets qualified for the No. 1 seeds bracket after going 4-0 in pool play at the Colorado Sparkler National College Exposure Tournament in Denver. In bracket play, the Rockets went 1-2 to finish 32nd out of 227 16U teams.
