Lamar Little League

Our very own Brandon Pruitt, winner of our 9-10 year old division, competed at sectionals in the Aquafina Pitch, Hit and Run in Deer Park. Brandon was the overall champion in the 9-10 age group and will move on to compete at Minute Maid park. The winner there will move on to the all-star game in St Louis as the Houston Astros representative. Good luck Brandon!
