Seventeen Southern Nevada softball teams will spend the first part of their spring break trying to win a tournament title.

Pahrump Valley is not among the teams competing this week; the Trojans played in the Kingman (Ariz.) Pepsi Challenge last weekend.

Results were not available at presstime.

The Spring Jamboree and Charger Invitational softball tournaments began Monday and conclude today. Those events were showcases for some of the top high school talent in California and Nevada.

A total of 32 teams are entered in the Charger Invitational at West Flamingo Park.

Cimarron-Memorial, Desert Oasis, Green Valley, Shadow Ridge, Valley and host Clark all will vie for one of the four tournament championships against a field largely comprised of California schools.

Meanwhile, a mainly local field will compete in the 15-team Spring Jamboree at Majestic Park.

Entered are Arbor View, Bishop Gorman, Bonanza, Centennial, Cheyenne, Coronado, Durango, Foothill, Liberty, Palo Verde and Rancho. Centennial is the defending champion.
