Little Leaguers on parade

Posted

The Little League parade on April 18 started on Franklin Avenue this year and proceeded along Hempstead Turnpike to Rath Park for the ceremony. The joy in many faces along the route, both in the parade and watching from the side lines, could be attributed to the many victories the boys and girls had last season.

In 2014, the 9/10-year-old boys won District 29 champs and the 11/12-year-old girls were the District 29 champs. Also, the 13/14-year-old girls won District 29 championships.

And the most amazing were the 9/10-year-old girls who won District 29 championships, the Section 5 championships and were second in New York State. The team included Natalie Schemmer, Ava Rigano, Jenna Gallant, Madison Bileski, Kristen Sulliven, Brianna Colosurdo, Rebecca Testani, Kayla Santo, Gianna Porcasi, Gianna Burke, Laura Acuafredda and the team’s star pitcher, Destiny Nardello.
