In the district 9 to 10 all-star tournament, North Whidbey matches up against the South Skagit Nationals in a 1 p.m. game July 6 at Windjammer Park.

Also on July 6, the 10 to 11-year-old tournament has North Whidbey squaring off against the Central Whidbey all-stars in a 10 a.m. game at Windjammer Park.

If the juniors team wins in the opening round, they are idle until 6 p.m. July 7; a loss has them playing at 4 p.m. July 6 against the loser of the Sedro-Woolley/Arlington game.

A win by the 9 to 10-year-olds would pit the team against the winner of the game between Sedro-Woolley and Central Whidbey at 6 p.m. July 8. A loss in the first round would have the local all-stars playing at 6 p.m. July 7 in a loser-out game.

If the 10 to 11-year-old team wins, they play Sedro-Woolley at 3 p.m. July 7, while a loss results in a 6 p.m. game July 9.
