Bobcat Little League All-Stars Face Stiff Competition in District Tournament


The Bobcat Junior All-Stars recite the Little League Pledge.

The Bobcat Little League Minor, Major, and Junior All-Stars put up a valiant fight before finally being eliminated from the district tournament. The Minor All-Stars fell to Woodsboro in their first game by the narrow score of 8-7, rallied for a win over Ingleside in game 2, and were outgunned by Sinton 22-6 in their final game. The Major All-Stars also lost their first game to Woodsboro 8-2, then suffered a heartbreaking 10-9 loss to the team from South Live Oak after a strong late-game rally tied the score 9-9. Refugio defeated the Junior boys 6-3 in a close fought game that could easily have gone either way and Orange Grove followed suit in a more decisive 13-7 win over the Bobcats. All three teams are to be congratulated for keeping the scores respectable - especially considering this was their first year of All-Star play under the mantle of Bobcat Little League.

Baseball All-Stars Treated to Aviators Game


The Bobcat Little League Junior All-Stars watch the Aviators defeat the Amarillo Dillas. They are having more fun than it looks and Josh Petrus, using his Longhorn cap as a glove, is about to save the guy sitting in front of him from getting beaned in the head by a foul ball.

Bobcat Little League thanks KFTX 97.5 "Real Country" for their generous donation of Aviators tickets. KFTX General Manager "Dr. Bruce" Stratton provided enough tickets to send all three All-Star teams to see an Aviators game in Robstown. The Junior All-Stars had a blast at the Amarillo "Dillas" game last weekend and the Majors and Minors plan to catch Friday's "Pennant Night" match-up against Pensacola. Thank you Dr. Bruce!
