52 Team Previews on the Way?
Well, Little League fans... we just got a bit more ambitious here at the LL blog. In the next week or two, state champions will begin to pop up all over the country as they qualify for their regional tournaments. In fact, two of them already have. Northwest Washington Little League from Washington, D.C. in the Mid-Atlantic, and Canyon Lake Little League from Rapid City, South Dakota. I've reached out to both teams to write preview articles on their road to Williamsport. Hopefully, we can get all 52 state/divisional champions. We will see.
If you happen to win a state championship in the next couple weeks, please don't wait for me to contact you. Email me at section1guycom@aol.com. Are you a fan and know of a team that wins a state title? Forward me as many game articles as you can. I'll do my best to get some info on everyone in the country. We can do this. Let's make the road to Williamsport as special as possible.
Keep spreading the word about the blog!
south Carolina - Irmo little league

Oklahoma - northeast Oklahoma little league
A little more ambitious. Haha. I'll say. Good luck to you john in your efforts to pull this all together. Should be interesting reading for fans of LL
ReplyDeleteCheyenne won in a Nevada state championship that was full of controversy. Ineligibly player used in one game. Suspended Cheyenne manager hiding out around the sports complex using his cell phone to call information in to his coaches in another. Retired high school umpire who didn't know little league rules behind the plate. Washoe not catching Cheyenne batting out of order not once but twice. Henderson being a little shell shocked by the Cheyenne game. It is for the kids but the adults have a way of making it about them. When you break little league rules as a manager you hurt your team. They should have the honor of going to state with no questions about ethics. I would love to see Henderson, Washoe and Cheyenne play a tournament with no adults in the dugouts. Let the kids run it and play some good old fashioned baseball minus all the crap. Those would be some good games.
ReplyDeleteI am from Elko, NV and brought my son out to watch all the state games. That Washoe team was the best team in the state tournament. To bad their coaches didn't call the people running the tournament on the carpet. They let Cheyenne do all kinds of messed up stuff. The umpire behind the plate was clueless! I heard the Washoe coach come out 2 times and ask him to tell the Cheyenne guy to put away the cell phones. He also did not report any substitutions to the coaches. I heard later that he had never umped in little league and didn't know the rules.
