Patty Partner is a softball player at Memorial High School, which fields 6 sports (football, soccer, baseball, cross-country, basketball, and track) for boys and 7 sports (field hockey, soccer, softball, cross-country, basketball, track, and volleyball) for girls. Tammy Toland is a soccer player at nearby Hollywood High School, which has 8 sports each for boys and girls: cross-country, soccer, swimming, track, basketball, tennis, ice hockey, and baseball for boys and cross-country, soccer, swimming, track, basketball, tennis, ice hockey, and softball for girls. Both high schools are located in the state of Argon. At Memorial High, the baseball field features an electronic scoreboard, lights over the field, a press box, announcer's booth, concession stand, bleachers on both sides and behind home plate, and a batting cage.

Because there are no lights, all the games are played after school, whereas the boys play about half of their home games at 7:30 p.m. Hollywood High, located closer to the town center, has more limited space and must be creative with the use of its facilities. Because it has just one soccer field, for example, rather than both teams having to share it for tryouts, practices, and games, it decided to make the boys' soccer season in the fall, while the girls play in the spring. Of the 210 high schools that have girls' soccer teams, 23 of them have their seasons in the spring as well. The Argon Interscholastic Athletic Association, however, holds soccer championships only in the fall for both girls and boys.
