<b>All Star Team Wins District</b>

The Fort Hunt Little League Juniors All Stars team recently took home the District 9 Championship by beating DTQ, 12-1, in the district championship game, earning the right to represent District 9 in the state tournament. Led by team manager Jeff Bigler, the Ft Hunt Juniors — ages 14 and 15 — sailed through the district tournament by winning every game they played throughout the tournament and outscoring their opponents 88-6. The team travels to the state championship next week, where they take on tournament winners representing the other 15 Districts in Virginia. The winner of the state tournament travels to Cartersville, Ga., for the Southeastern U.S. Championship.
