The Alderwood Little League baseball team won the 9-10 District title earlier this month. Team members included Kyler McMahan, Brady Girgus, Everardo Pannell, Trent Mosier, Connor O'Brien, Jared Whitman, David Cooper, Dane Evanger, Manny Castro, Lucas Dini, Riley Revyor, Carson Dodge and Danny Smart. The team was managed by Mike Girgus. He was assisted by coaches Ed Pannell and Jim Cooper.
The Alderwood Little League All-Star baseball team captured the District I championship on July 10 with a 6-5 victory over Pacific Little League.
The tournament, held in Marysville, was for players ages 9 and 10.
Alderwood posted a 7-1 record in the two-week tournament and outscored its opponents 88-42.
In the championship game, Alderwood jumped to a 6-1 lead behind starting pitcher David Cooper, then had to stave off a Pacific rally. Jared Whitman earned the save, recording the final out of the game on a pop up to shortstop Connor O'Brien with the bases loaded.
The victory earned the Alderwood players a berth in the state tournament, where they placed fifth last week.
Other members of the Alderwood team included Kyler McMahan, Brady Girgus, Everardo Pannell, Trent Mosier, Dane Evanger, Manny Castro, Lucas Dini, Riley Revyor, Carson Dodge and Danny Smart.

Track and field athletes headed to nationals
Two members of the Snohomish Track Club -- Amy-Eloise Neale and Stephanie Cummings -- are headed to the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics.
Neale qualified in the Youth Girls division (ages 13-14) in both the 1,500- and 3,000-meter runs. She placed second in both races at the regionals, in each case finishing less than a second behind the winner.
In the 3,000, the winner finished in 10 minutes, 35.05 seconds, with Neale coming in at 10:35.06. It "was a dead heat that took the officials 15 minutes to figure out," Fran Dauncey of the Snohomish club wrote in an e-mail.
Cummings qualified in the 400 in the Young Women’s Division (ages 17-18), finishing third at the regionals in a time of 59.09.
The national meet begins today in Greensboro, N.C.
Meanwhile, Anthony Hutchinson of Everett qualified for the Hershey National Track and Field Meet in the standing long jump with his performance at the state meet held June 27 at North Thurston High School in Lacey.
Hutchinson, 9, turned in jumps of 6 feet, 9.5 inches, and 6-9 to win his division. He also placed sixth in the 50-meter dash and eighth in the 100.
The Hershey national meet starts Thursday and runs through Sunday in Hershey, Pa.
