Next week, they head to Tyler, TX for the state championship on Saturday, July 17. The championship game is as far as the 10U level plays, but this team will have another chance at the road to the Little League World Series when they turn 12.

Team Manager is Stephen Smith, and the coaches are Carter Ayers and Hunter Sage. Players are Conrad Bennett, Andrew Dollinger, Henry Groves, Cooper Hutcheson, Holden Jones , Jirius Khoury, Joshua Meeks, Hunter Miclette, Walker O’Pry, Hunter Sage, Thomas Smith, Henry Van Os, and Parker Welty.

The Post Oak Little League 12U Team made it to sectionals but lost in a double sudden death overtime 1-2 to Pearland Little League. It was a great game, and the boys battled until the very end. This team has been together since 2018. They were district champs in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
