BREAKING NEWS: Boerne Little League, playing as “Texas West,” was crowned the Southwest Region champs after they defeated Louisiana 4-1 on Monday in Waco.

Monday’s game was scheduled to be a semifinals game but turned into the championship game after a team from Oklahoma was disqualified for using an ineligible player.
The Tulsa National Little League (Oklahoma) filed a lawsuit and a judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order and ordered the championship game between Boerne (Texas West) and Tulsa (Oklahoma) to be played Tuesday.

Most of the Boerne team returned home Monday night after the game since school started Tuesday at BISD.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the situation was still very fluid. Stay tuned to Boernestar.com, The Boerne Star page, and the Boerne Star on X.
