Missoula, MT. – The Missoula PaddleHeads, in conjunction with Frenchtown High School, host the 3rd Annual PaddleHeads High School Baseball Showcase next week at Ogren Park at Allegiance Field. With the addition of the Missoula AA High Schools fielding teams this year, the showcase is being expanded to three days with 14 games being played all with local high school teams. The annual event was started by the PaddleHeads in 2023 to honor and celebrate the return of high school baseball to Montana. The PaddleHeads Annual High School Showcase is designed to be an annual event highlighting local high school baseball at Ogren Park Allegiance Field at no cost to the high schools. Frenchtown High School is a partner with the PaddleHeads in this event and the host high school.
In addition to the showcase, this year the PaddleHeads are hosting over 21 regular season games featuring local high schools JV and Varsity teams. Each Missoula area school will host at least two home games at Ogren Park Allegiance Field in April and May. Again, the schools will be given use of the facility at no cost by the Paddleheads, in an effort, to support the schools, students, and community.
"The expansion of local high school games at Ogren Park Allegiance Field at no cost to the schools is our committed effort to support high school and youth baseball," explained PaddleHeads President Matt Ellis. "The return of high school baseball to Montana has been an overwhelming success so far. While we have more to do to help these programs flourish, we are excited about the option that our local youth now have for physical recreation and future collegiate scholarship opportunities. We invite our community to attend the showcase and high school baseball league games throughout the next month to support these programs and help them flourish."
