Kansas Magic fast-pitch team rises from 1-16 to national contender
John Ford’s 12-and-under Kansas Magic softball squad has transformed from a one-win program to a top contender. The team qualified for the American Fastpitch Association National B Tournament for the second year running, with events set July 24 29 in Oklahoma City at the Northside Sports Complex. The 13-player squad has posted 33-9 over four years, driven by players’ eagerness to learn and balance across positions. The Magic have won multiple titles this summer including AFA qualifier wins and an ASA qualifier in Topeka, with a choice to contest in Oklahoma City instead of Salem Washington for nationals.
