After Sunday’s District 4 Championship victory, the Lacamas Red team is boarding the team RV and heading to Auburn, WA, Friday afternoon to represent District 4, and Lacamas Little League, in the State Championship tournament.

Opening ceremonies begins at GSA Park in Auburn on Saturday at 9 am, and the team plays their first game Sunday at 9 am.

The team formed about a month ago, based on voting from managers, coaches, and peers and worked hard during the post-season All-Star tournament, which was held at Evergreen Little League in Brush Prairie. They were undefeated, 6-0.

“We’re the last Lacamas team standing,” said coach John Blair, of the 11-member team. “It’s pretty exciting, and the boys are ready to go. They’re prepared.”

The coaches head up separately, but the team RV, owned and driven by Larry Humble, sets off to Auburn late afternoon Friday.

“We’re looking forward to it,” says Humble. “It’ll be fun.”

Outfielder Jordan Geigenmiller was packed days ago and is ready for action.

“We’re focused, we’re ready, we’re pumped,” he said. “This is going to be a blast!”

The team is managed by Jeff Mansur, and coached by John Blair and Andy Ott.

“We don’t have a weak spot in the lineup,” said Mansur, recently. “These kids make coaching easy.”
