The Lufkin Junior League All-Stars at the Texas East State Tournament opening ceremony at Faulkner Park on Saturday.

The Texas East State Baseball Tournament concludes on Tuesday with championship games at Faulkner Park in Tyler.

All the teams attended the opening ceremony earlier on Saturday with Bill Coates, The Team/KTBB sports director, as the emcee.

Tyler mayor Don Warren and city councilman Stuart Hene welcomed the teams to Tyler.

Collin Boyd, a former Tyler Rose Capital West Little Leaguer, threw out the first pitch to his father Jimmy. Collin is now 10-years in remission from cancer and is majoring in biology at UT Tyler. He threw out the first pitch 10 years ago when he was first in remission.

As a 10-year-old Collin had a baseball-sized tumor in his lower abdomen, which metastasized to both lungs. After 35 radiation treatments and six rounds of chemotherapy, the tumor was removed in 2012, and he was declared in remission.

The tournament is for sectional winners for 8-10, 9-11, Major League, Junior League and Challenger Division.

Cost is $15 per car to attend.

The Major League winner advances to the Southwest Region in Waco (Aug. 3-8). The Southwest Region winner advances to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania (Aug. 16-27).

The Junior League winner advances to the Southwest Region in Albuquerque, New Mexico (July 31-Aug. 10). The Southwest Region winner advances to the Junior League World Series in Taylor, Michigan (Aug. 13-20).
