There will be 20 high school softball teams, a champion to be crowned and money to be made as the Dothan Diamond Classic begins Tuesday with pool play at the
Defending tournament champion Brantley, currently ranked No. 3 in Class 1A in the Alabama Sports Writers Association state poll, is among the teams that will be battling it out over four days – pool play scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday – then bracket play Friday at James Oates Park leading to the semifinals, consolation and championship games on Saturday at the Westgate Softball Complex.
The tournament originated in 2019 with 16 teams and was won by Northview, the last year of the program before the school consolidated with Dothan High. The 2020 tournament was cancelled due to COVID-19 and the 2021 tournament was won by G.W. Long. The first year of the tournament in 2019 raised $38,688. When the tournament resumed in 2021, $46,600 was raised. A total of $135,688 has been raised since the inception of the event.
The final day of the tournament will also include the annual Kasey Cooper Home Run Derby, named after the former Dothan High and Auburn University softball star. A year ago, Houston Academy’s Alexis Milanowski won the derby. She’s now a freshman on the Auburn softball team.
