With recent victories under their belts and ambitious goals in mind, Central Texas is poised to make a lasting impression at the state championships.
In 2022, teams from District 9, covering an area from Waco to Granger, left an indelible mark by capturing victories in both the Senior and Major Divisions of the Little League World Championships in Softball. This remarkable achievement not only reflects the extraordinary skill and dedication of the players but also underscores the effectiveness of coaching and the support system within the local Little League organizations.
Buoyed by their recent success, these Little League teams from Central Texas are setting their sights on a repeat of the prestigious Little League World Series. The vision is clear—to compete on the grandest stage and bring home the ultimate prize, the World Championship. This burning desire fuels their determination and drives their unwavering commitment to the game.
This week, all eyes will be on Abilene as the teams from Central Texas gather to battle it out in the state championships. Defending their title as the reigning Little League World Champions in softball, the Senior League District 9 All-Stars under the guidance of Coach Chance Bacon are determined to showcase their talent once again and prove their mettle against formidable opponents.
Joining them are the Midway Majors All-Stars, another group of defending Little League World Champions in softball, led by Coach Edward Ramos. These skilled players are poised to exhibit their exceptional abilities and reinforce Central Texas’ reputation as a hotbed of talent.
Another team represented from District 9, the Lake Air Junior All-Stars, coached by Amy Green, have already proven their worth by securing the District 9 and Section 2 championships. Their journey continues as they aim for glory in the state championships.
Meanwhile, in baseball, the Centex Junior All-Stars, led by Coach Kirby Dawson, have emerged as champions in both the District 9 and Section 2 competitions. With their impressive track record, they are well-prepared to leave a lasting impression on the field in their quest to be the best.
In the 8-10 age group, Midway Little League teams, coached by Matt Czimskey (Baseball) and Rebecca Smith (Softball), have shown tremendous promise by securing the District 9 and Section 2 championships. Although this division does not extend beyond the State Championship, look for these players to show out this week in their division as well.
As these Central Texas Little League teams converge on Abilene, the stage is set for an exhilarating showcase of talent, determination, and sportsmanship. These young athletes understand that their journey to success requires hard work, resilience, and unwavering support from their coaches, parents, and the local community.
