St. Bernard parish will be represented in the little league world series by one of our very own. Congratulations to Capt. Reggie Bergeron President Local 1468. We would like to wish little Reggie and the Eastbank little league a lot of luck on thier journey to Williamsport.

     Eastbank little league was established 2 years ago in the greater New Orleans area.  It is an all-volunteer based organization, not affiliated with any local recreation departments or travel organizations.  They compete in the Official Little League International Tournament that people see every year on television.  The team is made up of 12 players that span from Belle Chasse, New Orleans, Des Allemands, Metairie, and 1 player from St. Bernard.  The coaches are Scott Frazier, Donald Abadie, and Jim Vogelaar.  This team’s journey started a few short months ago with 7 day a week practices, some lasting 8 hours!! They battled and won district against Bogalusa then headed to Bossier City last week and won the Louisiana State Little League Title. They faced powerhouse teams such as Lafayette, Bossier City, Avoyelles, and South Lake Charles. This state title has earned them the right to represent Louisiana and now play in the 2015 Little League Southwestern Regionals Aug 7^th – Aug 13^th in Waco, Texas. They will face teams from New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Mississippi to name a few!! The winner of this event heads to Williamsport, Pa to play for the International Title in The Little League World Series!
