> Tournament winding down.  Tonight + 2. Semi's on Friday, Championships on Saturday. Great games expected. If you're coming out Saturday, expect a large crowd.

-----------------------------

> Some thoughts: the City of Tempe has come through again. From my perch-type view the venue is picture perfect. Kudos to Shane Isabel, the park-staff & maintenance crew for a  job well done. Don't forget Tempe Diablos, site of our JRs tournament - it really doesn't get much better.   

................................ 

Please give all our volunteers a sincere 'thank you' - you know, those guys raking, watering, chalking, keeping score & announcing. Our host this year, Tempe South L. L., did a great job - thanks Mark, Tom, Kevin and League. We hope to be back next year.

Ahwatukee Little League returns home Monday, Aug. 28, 2006 from the Little League World Series. - A 'dawg' story as told by Mgr. Tom Kingery: a few years back as the then 9/10-year old All-Stars were practicing & a stray dog wandered onto the practice field. As some of the kids tried to shoo him off the field the stray thought this was fun. So, he began to 'play' by barking & running with the kids. Soon, all the kids were running after him - laughing, giggling & barking. Thus the DAWGS came to be. - Did you Know?  Manager Tom Kingery received the 'Ed & Charlotte Fish' award as the West Region manager who best exemplifies the qualities & virtues of a Little League manager. The award is voted on by his West Region Tournament managers. Congrats to Tom, Rich & the kids - they all did an awesome job!
