The Big League State Baseball Tournament was July 11 - 13, 2008 in Dunedin, Florida at Englebert Field, the winter home of the Toronto Blue Jays.  There were 17 teams participating.  District 14 sent two of those teams.  The District 14 team was made up of players from Dr. Phillips, Metro West, and Pine Hills/Rolling Hills.  Ocoee Little League also fielded a team.  These are photos from the tournament.

I am in the process of getting the names of the players and coaches to post here.

I would also like some additional photos from the Ocoee team if anyone has some I can use!
