Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the opponent and give them their due. That was the case at the Little League District 8 Tournament played in Bossier City which in retrospect saw all four games played in similar fashion as Jackson Parish beat Bossier twice and Sterlington beat Jackson Parish twice. None of the games were close. 

As reported in the last Sunday edition of the Jackson Parish Journal, JP12U opened the tourney by blasting Bossier 18-3 on Friday. They then fell to Sterlington 15-0 on Saturday morning before coming back to best Bossier again on Saturday evening by a 10-1 margin. That set up a rematch against Sterlington, whose tremendously powerful pitching staff once again no-hit the locals in the 10-0 contest. 

As result of their second place finish, Jackson Parish now looks forward to playing in the Little League 12U Softball State Tournament in Broussard, LA, scheduled to begin on July 12th.
