NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (WPRI) — The North Kingstown-Wickford 12U All-Star Little League team is heading to the Metro Regional Tournament in Bristol, Connecticut.
The town's police and fire departments joined family and friends Friday morning to cheer them on during the team's sendoff.
One of the coaches said the team has a busy schedule ahead.
"Today's an action-packed day. We check into the forms, then they got a lot of meetings and media, it's just keeping the kids from being exhausted by the end of the day," he said. "Tomorrow we'll get after our routine and we have our first game."
The team will play New York at 7 p.m. Saturday on ESPN+.
