All-stars

The West University Little League 10U Nationals All-Star team had an exceptional summer out on the baseball fields. They played with a lot of heart and hard work and won local tournaments, including the District 16 title and the Section 3 title, and also advanced to the Texas East State Tournament in Tyler. In Tyler, they battled to the end and finished as a finalist and runner-up in the final championship game. The team manager was Kevin Coffman, coaches were Ben Gaw, Andrew Gizienski, Craig Burns, and Lance Walters. Pictured are (front row, from left) Lincoln Wagner, Ben Berry, Max Coffman, Graham Gizienski, Tate Carver; (back row, from left) Andrew Phillpott, Landon Lowery, Hollis Burns, Jonathan Loftus, Clayton Fraser, Mason Pinnix, Martin Gaw, and (not pictured) Rory Walters.
