Keith Peterson, president of Magnolia Little League, says that Magnolia Little League has been selected to host the District 8 Fastpitch 10year old All Star Tournament beginning July 5th.  Magnolia last hosted this tournament in 2008.  “Our 10 year old girls won the district tournament and went on to finish fourth in the state tournament that season.  We are excited to be hosting this tournament again.”

The Magnolia Little League kicked off the season today in fine style with a big parade down McGraw Street.

The parade included all the baseball and softball teams along with their coaches marching behind banners with their team names. 

The parade, which has become an annual tradition, marks the beginning of the season for the teams who were accompanied by the Mariner Moose. 

There were lots of parents and fans lining the street to cheer on the players and the Ballard High School marching band was part of the celebration.

A note to coaches and parents in Little League:  Send in your game pictures and scores from Magnolia teams this season and we will publish them on Magnolia Voice!

See all the pictures from the parade here.
