Little League World Series

On ESPN starting today, Needville kids are taking part in the Little League World Series. Don’t worry if you see them dancing instead of warming up – it’s their way to ease tension before games. The young team loves to dance, thanks to a tradition started by coach Joey Benge. The players, including Heath Filipp and Michael Raven, embrace the pregame dance-off. The team from Needville, around 40 miles southwest of Houston, is making its debut at the series. It’s a big deal for the town of 3,000 people, which supports them wholeheartedly.
