AJ - ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Grandson, A.J., and his teammates representing Five Cities Youth All-Stars competed in a Cal Ripken District qualifying tournament this week in San Luis Obispo.  Their winning results have qualified them for a playing spot in the Cal Ripken State Championship Tournament to be held in the Fresno area next month.  We will be on our extended trip, so will have to hear about the results about the next tournament via an Email.
