The Havre team is made up of all-stars, who were selected to be a part of the roster and are ready to take on the best 13 and under teams the state of Montana has to offer.

Also suiting up for Havre this weekend are Josiah Harrison in right field and second base, Tommy Brown, who alternates between right and left field and Kelden Sullivan, who plays third base and center field.
Rounding out the roster is James Christensen, who handles catching duties and plays center field, Brett Marti, who is a right fielder and third baseman, Austin DelaRose, who mans second base and center field as well as Tony Atley, who plays first and right field. Jace Lipp is also on the team but is unable to play due to injury.
The Havre coaching staff consists of Douglas Garden and Dustin Malley.
The action will get underway this afternoon at 3 p.m. when Lewistown takes on Belgrade. The winner of that game will take on Kalispell Friday morning at 10 a.m.
Hi-line also takes on Glacier at 7:30 p.m. with the winner of the game playing the winner of Havre and Miles City Friday at noon. Opening ceremonies for the tournament will be tonight at 7 p.m. The winner of the state tournament advances to the Pacific Northwest Regional next week in Helena.
