It’s All-Star Weekend for high school softball at Jones College’s Community Bank Park in Ellisville and DeSoto County is represented on the weekend.
The Mississippi Association of Coaches is holding its annual All-Star series, made up of two Junior All-Star Games and what is called the Rising Stars series.
