WOW. I watched the Hawaii team from Waipio beat the team from Louisiana earlier today.

What an accomplishment!! My wife and I were so excited in the sixth inning, when the boys from Waipio scored five runs to take a 7-5 lead. Chicken skin moments. After the game, the boys were interviewed on national TV. They said that their coach urged them to keep trying no matter how bad the situation was. I think we can all learn from this team. They never gave up hope. And now they’re headed to the championship game.

Best of luck to the team tomorrow. I hope that they can match the success of the 2005 Ewa Beach team. Even if they don’t win, I think it shows that Hawaii has one of the best Little League programs not only in the nation, but in the world!
