Monday evening

Another day has just blown by. Today was supposed to be a slow one. We started with practice both fielding and hitting, 30 minutes in the pool, then off to lunch sponsored by a family in San Antonio,who played in the LLWS in 1969 for Williamsport and whose parents and sister still live hear. They fed 85 of us from SA!!! From there most of the boys watched the end of the Japan game and then they watched both Georgia and New York play to try and prepare for our game after California. As most of you have figured out by now, the game is for seeding only.We will be taking a conservative approach as the next game means much more. We need healthy players for the semi final round, that is our primary goal. The good news Nick is coming back strong..the bad news is this 24 hour bug has gotten hold of Travis. It started this morning and after a visit to the infirmary( i have a frequent visitor card) he is off site with his parents for the evening. Please, we ask for prayers again for a speedy recovery. Just like Nick,Travis is devastated right now...these boys don't want to miss a game. Today's e-mails to the team were interesting..from boys like Garrett Williams and Kenon Fontenot( two stars from recent LLWS) to teams we have played along the way..all telling us great job and good luck..tomorrow will be very interesting. Mike and I will be more creative than we want to be. Please keep the boys health in your thoughts and prayers. This is a TEAM of TWELVE and it is very hard to do with eleven. Thanks Coach Lee

    We are praying for a quick recovery for Travis, for everyone else's health to be protected, and for Godly wisdom and discernment for the coaches as you evaluate all your options. Chula Vista's team may be big physically, but as you said, the hearts of the McAllister Park kids are bigger than Texas!!! We pray that y'all will have a David vs. Goliath mentality and trust God to provide the victory tonight.

    We'll be watching and rooting for y'all!

    Good Luck to McAllister Park Little League in tonights game. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I just want you to know you all are a great team and represent San Antonio so well. I was at Fatso's watching Friday nights game and with all the people there and the cheering and screaming going on you would have thought the Spur's were playing. Everyone here in San Antonio is supporting our McAllister Park team!!Keep up the good work. Leslie & Stanley Uecker
