All,
District 5 is DONE – whew… here is who we have coming to State… with possibly one exception… our Juniors team has had a problem in that their Manager was injured and is undergoing evaluation at the moment. We will know by the end of the day if we have to scratch the Juniors team.
Baseball
8-10 – Pullman Little League 10-11 – Walla Walla Valley Majors – Walla Walla Valley Intermediate – Pullman Little League (advance without play) Juniors – Touchet Valley Little League (advance without play – manager injured yesterday - may have to scratch from tournament)
Softball
8-10 – Othello Little League (advance without play) Majors – Othello Little League (advance without play)
For those that are “advance without play” – we actually had more participation in our regular season for the various divisions in D5. We had a couple leagues do softball, several do intermediate, and one do Juniors for the first time… I like our growth, but unfortunately because of the horrible weather, and the fact that gas prices are scaring parents, we couldn’t assemble all-star teams for Districts for those that are AWP. I will have AWP letters in their binders.
Additionally - In D5 you may have to travel 150 miles to play in the District Tournament and that means always staying overnight… no matter what. This year we had the fullest District tournament we have had in about 10 years, with an OUTSTANDING showing in baseball by Othello Little League, a newcomer to D5. I fully expect to see a couple teams from Othello at state next year. They learned the “ropes” after not appearing in a Little League tournament in 2 decades and were in the championship game in 2 of the 3 toughest brackets.
They all have their packets and are ready to go!
