It was our pleasure to come up and Bill Denman from D8 was excited to keep score. I thank you all for your hospitality and kindness while we were there. That was so nice of you. I still love the game and after assisting at our own D8 tournaments for a month and a half that was the first game that I got to sit and relax and watch the game. You are all doing a great job on hosting this tournament and the field we played on is amazing. Thanks again Suzie and the D-11 and your league Host. I am sorry for your loss with a former Little League player. Prayers reached out for him See you at the State meeting.

Today has been a very long, but exciting day. We started the morning with Opening Ceremonies which was short and sweet. We did end opening Ceremonies today with a moment of silence, instead of a "first pitch". The young man that was supposed to throw out the first pitch, was one of our Sedro Woolley Little League players. Last year he was diagnosed with bone cancer and this past Tuesday, he lost his battle with cancer at the age of 15. We decided to honor him instead of finding someone else to throw out a pitch. The games today were all action packed and even though some of the scores look a little lopsided, they were all good games. Your players, parents and coaches, for the most part, have been absolutely amazing. Here are the results of Day 1: Game 1 D3 - Larch Mountain - 10 D10 - Bonney Lake Sumner - 4 Game 2 D9 - Bellevue National - 17 D13 South Spokane - 0 Game 3 D4 Camas - 10 D11 North Whidbey - 0 Game 4 D7 - South Highline - 3 D8 - Northeast Seattle - 10 Game 5 D2 South Kitsap - 0 D12 Richland National - 4 We have 5 more games tomorrow, with 1 loser out game. Right now, all of your teams are watching a game of Banana Ball, (think Savannah Bananas) put on by a bunch of volunteers from the entire District. All of the players are all former Little League players from District 11. And yes, we have people in banana costumes and flamingo costumes. Lots of music, games for the kids and parents, and a whole lot of fun for everyone. Shout out to Bob Toigo for his visit today! If any other DA's want to come up and watch, you are more than welcome!! Shout out to D10 and D9 for sending umpire crews!! You guys rock!! Thank you! All in all, it was a good day up here in D11! Hope you all have a great night!! Susie Tucker DA WA 11 360-914-2036 Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone
