Council Rock Newtown LL Heads to Little League Eastern Regionals
The Council Rock Newtown Little League 12U All-Stars will be proudly representing Pennsylvania, and their hometown of Newtown, at the upcoming Little League Eastern Regional. They will face off against Maryland, Delaware and Washington, DC for a chance to represent the Mid-Atlantic region in the 2024 Little League World Series [LLWS].
Most of these boys started playing together at the start of elementary school. They then started their All-Star career at 10U, where they walked away with a solid 3rd place finish in the PA State Tournament. Then in 2023, they competed as the 11U All-Stars and were able to see the PA championship game but ended the season as the PA State Runner-Up. Following their 2nd place finish in 2023, this team was determined to come back in 2024 to go after that first place finish, putting them closer to their dream of a LLWS appearance.
Their 2024 12U season started with an undefeated District 30 run. Competing against 6 local teams, Council Rock Newtown went 8-0 to secure the District 30 title. The team then went on to complete an undefeated Section 6 run [3-0]. Following their Section 6 win, the boys traveled to Newville, PA to compete as one of the top 8 teams in the state of Pennsylvania. With tough competition from around the state, Council Rock Newtown was able to bring home the State Title with another set of undefeated games where they went 4-0.
This team will head into the Eastern Region Mid-Atlantic Tournament with an undefeated run of 15-0. This is the longest win streak of any team from around the country as Little League kicks off Regional Tournaments nationwide. Pennsylvania will face off against Washington, DC starting Sunday, 8/4 at 1PM. All Little League Regional games will be streamed on ESPN+ and the regional semis and finals will also be broadcasted on ESPN/ESPN2. Winners from each region will then head to Williamsport, PA in prep for the start of the Little League World Series, starting Wednesday, 8/14.
