Seminole's sports complex makes youth ball part of the place

The Sports Complex sits at 301 Sunland Dr., the Lubbock Highway spot on the city parks list. It is built around four baseball and softball fields, so league nights can happen in one place instead of being scattered around town.

The complex has hosted larger play too, including the 2019 Cal Ripken Southwest Regional Tournament for 11- and 12-year-olds.

That is the Seminole color here: spring nights, summer brackets, and camp chairs gathered around four fields on the edge of town.
