A salute to Ridley Little Leaguers

Yes, we keep tabs on the Eagles and Phillies. And the Flyers and Sixers as well.

But they're not our bread and butter, to be perfectly honest.

We're crafted a well-earned reputation as "Delaware County's Sports Authority." A good chunk of that is due to the coverage we routinely offer high school athletes. Very simply, it's unmatched.

But during the summer we also focus in on youth sports and other 'weekend warriors.'

That's why on today's front page you will see a teaser to the celebration they held in Ridley yesterday for the Ridley Area Little League 9-10 East Regional Champions. They received a hero's welcome yesterday after capturing the East Regional title.

Look for these kids to make a serious run to Williamsport for the Little League World Series in a few years.

We also once again this year are holding our annual softball tournament that helps in the battle against cancer.

It's the 33rd annual Champs 'N' Charity Classic.

Yesterday Appco's/Duke's repeated as the women's champ.

Tonight it will be the coed and men's finals.
