On the weekend of August 10, your Junior Legion VFW baseball team participated in the 2018 Division II Jr. Legion Baseball tournament in Montevideo, MN. Over the weekend eight teams from around Minnesota played for the right to be called Division II Jr. Legion champions. As tournament director, I wanted to take a moment to commend your team on a great season.
Congratulations to Holy Family Catholic on becoming the second ever DII Jr. Legion state champions. I also want to take this opportunity to inform the community that these young men (14-to 16-year-olds) conducted themselves in a manner in which you should be very proud.
Throughout the tournament, we had no sportsmanship issues and had zero complaints from the hotel staff.
The young men showed respect for our country flag and veterans all weekend. Whether it was waiting calmly on the foul line until the color guard had fully retired the colors to shaking the hand of the veteran throwing out the first pitch to clapping for the Legion Riders as they rode past, I am extremely proud of how your team and fans conducted themselves this past weekend. You should be proud as well.
