The TCISS Inter-High Softball Season for 2023/24 has officially begun, drawing in an enthusiastic crowd of fans eager to witness the intense competition. Nine schools have registered to vie for the coveted Softball Championship trophy, setting the stage for a thrilling season.


Missing out on winning the title last season, which HJ Robinson snared, the girls from the various schools, fueled by a desire for redemption, have returned with determination. However, an equally determined HJRHS has already signaled their intention to turn back any opponent who dare to come up against them, showcased their dominance in the opening game by defeating Marjorie Basden High School (MBHS) 10 - 5.
