[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lewis HS is nearly 50% Latino/Hispanic. Latino/Hispanic girls don't tend to play sports, much less softball. I used to be involved with softball in Arlington and we tried a lot of outreach to that community to no avail. There were myriad reasons -- cultural, fear of immigration, etc. The high school softball programs are fed by robust rec and travel leagues. Spend any time at a complex during a tournament and you'll see about 90% of the girls playing are white. A few black girls and a few Asian girls. Almost no Hispanic/Latino. So it follows that a 50% Hispanic school probably isn't going to be able to field a varsity softball team. [/quote] Justice, Herndon, and Falls Church all field varsity softball teams and have similar percentages of Hispanic students as Lewis. [/quote]
