Run for State

Bellaire Little League’s 11U All-Star District team came together to win a series of games catapulting them to a run for the state championship. The team won the difficult District 16, then won Section 3, making it to the final game against Needville in Tyler. It was a close game with a final score of 5-6. Even though it was not the outcome they had hoped for, their parents, families, and coaches are proud of their hard work and dedication.
