Legislature presents certificates to Guam Senior Little League All Stars before U.S. tournament
Summary
Members of the Guam Legislature presented legislative certificates recognizing the Guam Senior Little League All Stars after their Asia-Pacific tournament victory; the team will travel to the U.S. Senior League World Series in South Carolina, presenters said.
Members of the Guam Legislature presented legislative certificates to the Guam Senior Little League All Stars at a special presentation recognizing the team’s Asia-Pacific tournament victory and upcoming travel to the Senior League World Series in South Carolina.
The presentation, introduced by a legislative presenter, noted that “they very convincingly beat every single team that came to Guam” during the Asia-Pacific Senior Little League tournament and said the certificates were sponsored by “every single senator” in the Guam Legislature.
The presenter listed players and coaches by name and invited the team’s manager and captain to speak. Isaac Cruz, identified in the presentation as the team manager, said, “Well, first of all, every player here had a role to play in this team. And, when it was their turn that to be called on, they all, executed everything very well.”
Team captain Evan Acosta, invited to address the chamber, said, “It feels good knowing that the boys put in all the work since day 1. It was good vibes all around during practices and the dugouts during games. So, yeah, we deserve it.”
The presenter told the chamber the team won each game decisively and described the tournament atmosphere at the island venue. He also encouraged public support for the team’s travel and said the team is scheduled to play in South Carolina, though the presenter’s remarks about specific travel dates were not precise in the record.
No legislative motion or vote was recorded in connection with the presentation; the item was a ceremonial recognition. The presentation included a roll call of players and staff introduced on the chamber floor, including (as spoken) Evan Acosta, Gavin Alcantara, Cameron Adjudu, Reeve Baladia, Nathan Cruz, Diono Jones, Andrew Johnson, Ty James Leon Guerrero, Cohen Pangolinan, Juan Carlo Presnell, Trace Tyrone, Javier (last name unclear), Isaac Cruz (manager), John Jones (assistant coach), and head coach Kevin Acosta.
The ceremony closed with public expressions of pride and well-wishes for the team’s upcoming competition in the United States.
