Bryant Cal Ripken teams set to begin Regional play on Friday

On the heels of the Bryant 6-year-old All-Stars run to the championship round of the Cal Ripken Southwest Regional[more] Tournament at Bishop Park last weekend, eight more teams from Bryant will begin play in their respective age-group Cal Ripken regional tournaments this weekend.

Three teams will be competing in the 7 and 8 year old Southwest Regional in Madisonville, La. The Bryant 9’s are in Hattiesburg, Miss., while the 10’s are headed to Levelland, Texas. The 11’s are in Hurley, Miss.

The Bryant 12-year-old team that plays on the 46/60 field will start play in the Regional being held in Benton, while the 12-year-old team that plays on the 57/70 field competed in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Bryant has also had two Babe Ruth teams earn their way to Regional play, which begins July 29. The Bryant 14’s will be in Lake Jackson, Texas. The 15’s will be competing in the Regional in Plainview, Texas.

There are World Series tournaments for 12-year-old teams up to 15’s.
