Coming off an impressive showing at the District 1 tournament, the White Rock 11-12 All-Stars feel confident heading into the state tournament.
White Rock will have a ways to go, however, if it wants to get to the finals.
The state tournament starts Saturday in Los Lunas with White Rock taking on Las Vegas in a play-in game. Should White Rock get through Saturday’s 10 a.m. contest, it will take on the host squad Sunday.
White Rock manager Joe Mang said it will be a long road for his squad, so it will need every advantage it can get. First and foremost will be staying on the winner’s side of the bracket as long as possible.
“It can wear down pitching early,” Mang said of the loser’s bracket. “I don’t know anything about Las Vegas except that it’s a smaller district, like ours. For the play-in game, that’s probably the best match-up we could hope for.”
The tournament will continue through at least July 26 and possibly through July 27.
White Rock will throw Jared Mang in its first game.
