Local little league teams to be honored during halftime Saturday

At halftime of Saturday's UNLV-UNR football game at Sam Boyd Stadium, UNLV will recognize three local little league baseball games, all of which won their respective Nevada state titles in July.

The three teams are:

-Spring Valley, who won the District 4 Championship in the 10-year-old division, then beat Washoe County in the state championship game, 8-2, in Pioche, Nev.

-Legacy, who won the District 2 Championship in the 11-year-old division, and beat Mountain Ridge 7-1 in its state title tilt in Elko, Nev.

-Paseo Verde, maybe the most well-known of the three. The team won the District 2 Championship in the 12-year-old division, then won its two final games at the state tourney in Elko by a combined score of 45-3. The team won five games in the Little League West Regional in San Bernardino, Calif., before falling 4-3 to Hawaii with a berth in the Little League World Series on the line. That Hawaii team went on to win the LLWS.
