What a Ride!

CHS Cheerleaders Welcome Home Lubbock Western All-Stars with Parade of Honor

Attention rockets all-stars into a whole new world--Second in USA, Third in World

The shrills of screaming teenage girls at Thursday's parade were only a slight indication of how life has changed for the Western All-Stars since they returned from the Little League World Series. The endless lines of fans seeking autographs and pictures are a better indication but still don't paint the total picture. These 12-year-old boys are receiving rock-star attention since they became the first Little League team from Lubbock to advance to Williamsport, Pa.

There were proclamations and resolutions from local and state officials, gifts from baseball legan Nolan Ryan and a song about the ream performed by KILL-FM personality Mudflap--all who wanted to find some way to shower the boys with praise.  A parade in their honor on August 30, 2007, started at the United Market Street on 50th and Indiana and concluded at City Bank on 34th and Slide Road.  Fans of all ages lined the streets to wave and catch a glimpse of our new heroes, the Western All-Stars. Congratulations Western All-Stars for a dream season for you, your parents, and fans in Lubbock, Texas.  Coronado High School salutes you!!!
