Being from another Little League hotbed in the Texas West division, I can relate to the frustration by some of the parents. My son was fortunate to play on the All-Star team last year that won the Texas West state tourney and advanced to the Southwestern Regional in Waco. In Lubbock, Western also dominates the LL scene. Our majors play the other city leagues ( 6 other)
and our 5 team league lost only two interleague games! Once the season is over, these All-Star teams are selected not on the merits of a season, but are determined by the best select team that have been playing as a group for as many as 3-4 years. The current Western All-star team members have been together for the last three years. During the regular season, the players are split between the 5 teams, but are re-united at All-Star time. Don’t agree with it, but I guess it’s the times in which we live. The only reason my son made the All-Star team last year was he was affected by the age-limit change, and he was able to play majors for his third year. This is why these All-Star teams can run all over alot of the All-Star teams that are picked traditionally.I’m sure the parent’s from Lubbock have already made their Williamsport reservations! Best of luck to McAllister’s team, as they may be facing the Western team fron Lubbock on Wendsday.

Aside from the comments from some of our youngsters, I hope youngsters, you do bring up some valid points.
But, do not make McAllister out to be the bad guys!!! We have many issues to deal with just as all leagues do. It may be true that the numbers may have increased in this area, but we still have to attracted these youngsters to play here. We are fortunate to have strong group of dedicated vollenteers that help make McAllister succesful, as I am sure all leagues do. As far as I know how the brackets are done, it is a random draw. All the coaches in District 19 are present at the city and district tourny meetings to view the drawing and any bias is thrown out the window. In past seasons, may times McAllister teams have been paired in the same side of the brackets. As one of the Northwest players was quick to notice, they have beaten both McAllister teams so for in district play, so what does this tell you? If the kids play well, good thing will happen. It doesn’t matter which league you are from.
I wish all leagues in District 19 Good Luck
