That’s the West Seattle Little League 9-10 All-Stars getting a hearty cheer from the crowd, and handshakes from their victorious opponents, as they finished with 2nd place in the district Saturday afternoon at Bar-S on Alki Point. Meantime, the WSLL 10-11 All-Stars won the district championship last week (WSB coverage here) and have now moved on to the tournament, where they won at PacWest in SeaTac on Sunday and will play again at 5:30 pm tomorrow.

The next photo and update, about the PONY League All-Stars, are from Lisa:

West Seattle was well represented in the Fourth of July Blast tournament in Tacoma, with the Southwest Pony League’s West Seattle All Stars (11 year olds) taking third place. Congratulations to the team and coaches!

Other playoffs are under way for West Seattle Pee Wee, part of PONY Baseball; their 8U All-Stars recently took 1st place at Regionals (photo here). Their 9U team starts regional play Friday in Enumclaw, while the league is hosting 12 All-Star and Select 10U teams this Friday through Sunday at the Mustang Tune-Up. Then the WS Pee Wee 10U team starts sanctioned tournament play July 16-18 with the Mustang North Sectional in North Seattle.

Finally, a belated youth basketball note. We were at Chief Sealth International High School/Boren last Thursday as the first week of Basketball and Life Skills campers played their championship games (the “NCAA” – younger campers – ended with “Texas” beating “UCLA” 14-12, while the older “NBA” campers ended with “LA” 36, “Boston” 33). Here’s Coach Colin Slingsby with the announcements and congratulations:

Here’s more about the Sealth camp, from our visit on day 1 last week. The second session got under way today, but there are still three more weeklong sessions, for entering 2nd-9th-grade girls and boys, later this summer – here’s the brochure.
