COUGAR 9-YEAR-OLDS MAKE STATE TOURNAMENT

Congrats to the South Orange Maplewood 9-year-old Cougars summer baseball, which placed second in the Cal Ripkin tournament last week, and won a spot in that group's state tournament.

They also keep cruising along in their regular summer league, topping Long Hill on Saturday, 17-2.

Their next game is Wednesday against Summit at Meadowlands Field in South Orange, come out and root them on!
