The entire state of Hawii is ecstatic about the recent victory of Hawaii Little Leaguers over Lake Charles, Louisiana. At stake was the United States Little League Championship.

The team from Waipio, started off to a 1-0 lead early on in the game. By the end of the 5th inning Waipio was losing 5-1.

Everyone thought the game was over. Spectators left. The Hawaii crod was quitet. A mother of a team member decided she could watch no longer. She left the field and walked away. “No way can they win”, she thought.

But tell that to 12 and 13 year olds who had come to play ball. The kids dug deep and did not give up. A battle was raging on the ball field. When the smoke had cleared the Hawaii team was victorious. They pulled off a staggering comeback.

The lesson is clear. Don’t give up. If you believe, you can succeed. There are many lessons we can learn from this Little League team.

Never say, never. And it’s not over til it’s over. Good luck boys. You are role models to all of us.
