The Texas East Little League State Tournament gets underway Saturday at Faulkner Park, 410 W. Cumberland Road, just off South Broadway.

This is the 11th straight year the tourney has been held in Tyler.

Twenty teams are vying for titles in their quest to advance in the playoffs toward the World Series. The tournament has five divisions, and seven fields will be used. The tourney continues through at least Tuesday and possibly Wednesday morning.

Mike Farrell is the tournament director, while Randy Womble is the assistant tournament director.

The tournament will start with opening ceremonies at 3:30 p.m. Saturday on Field No. 6 with all teams scheduled to be in attendance.

The divisions include: 9-10, 10-11, Majors, Juniors and Seniors, along with Challenger. The Junior and Senior League games (which include Tyler teams) begin at 5 p.m., followed by the other 9-10, 10-11 and Major divisions at 6 p.m.
