D’Hanis/Sabinal Minors District 21 softball champs; Sectionals start Friday

Pearsall — The combined D’Hanis/Sabinal Minor Division Softball All-Stars made it through their two-week tournament unbeaten, taking down Lytle Tuesday evening, June 23, to win the District 21 championship.

They became the only local entry to advance beyond the district level from this year’s tournaments, which were largely held at the Pearsall Sports Complex. Rain and wet grounds forced a few relocations in each of the 10 brackets to other locations, including to Hondo, Natalia and Jourdanton.

As District 21 champions, the D/S Minor Leaguers will have very little time to rest, as they’ll begin play in the Texas West Section 3 Tournament, beginning this Friday, June 26, in Ingram. 

Their four-team Sectional tournament will include three large programs which each won their district tourneys — Medina Valley, Bulverde and Eagle Pass.

D/S will open play in the double-elimination tourney Friday against District 26 champion MV, in a 6 p.m. game at the Ingram Little League Fields.

All other local teams in the District 21 tourney were eliminated during the past week. 

Hondo All-Star teams made it to the final three in five of the seven divisions in which they were competing, with Junior Baseball, Senior Baseball and Senior Softball all making it to the championship game. Minor Baseball and Minor Softball both reached the final three.

Uvalde Little League won Minor Baseball, 9-11 Baseball and Major Baseball; Pearsall had championships in Senior Baseball and Senior Softball; Lytle won Junior Baseball and Junior Softball; with one softball title each for Pleasanton and Devine.
