Two Bryant Athletic Association Babe Ruth All-Star teams begin play in their respective Regional tournaments today while, back in Arkansas, two Bryant American Legion teams open their bids for a State championship and, for the Senior Black Sox, a fourth consecutive trip to Regionals where they came a win short of reaching the American Legion World Series in 2014 and a controversial ruling away from making it last summer. This year’s Regional is in the New Orleans area.
The Bryant Junior American Legion team recently captured their State championship.
Both Bryant’s Babe Ruth teams won the South Arkansas State championship for their age divisions.
