High school softball season opens today with the 11th annual Lanier Point Invitational, one of the largest tournaments of the year in terms of teams competing. Schools from all over the area will arrive at Lanier Point Athletic Complex this afternoon with hopes of a tournament title in their heads, not to mention getting a first look at some of their region foes. “Pretty much all the teams in it are highly competitive teams,” said Michelle Green, Gainesville High softball coach.
