Novato South All-Stars Begin Tourney Play Saturday

Three teams representing the Novato South Little League will begin District 3 All-Star play Saturday at sites throughout Marin County.

In the 11-12, 10-11 and 9-10 age divisions, the Novato South representative will play six games over the course of the next two weeks in an effort to qualify for an eight-team, single-elimination tournament that will eventually determine the district champion.
