If Texas wins beats Nevada, it moves to the U.S. final Saturday — the opponent wont be determined until two elimination bracket games are played. Teams from the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania), West (Hawai’i), Southeast (Florida), Metro (New York) regions have all suffered a loss, but can still make the final.
If Texas loses, it heads to the elimination bracket, but would still be just one win from the U.S. final.
MEET THE PLAYERS: Texas roster in 2024 Little League World Series
The LLBWS has two brackets, one for the 10 United States regional champions, and one for the 10 International Regional champions.
Boerne is about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio and 90 miles southwest of Austin. It’s the seat of Kendall County and has a population of more than 20,000.
The Boerne Little League Majors All-Star Team won the Southwest Region on Aug. 6 by beating Louisiana, 6-3, on the strength of a grand slam, according to the Boerne Star.
Texas has only made the finals of the LLWS once since 2001, with Lufkin LL finishing as the tournament runner-up in 2017. The last time Texas won the title was in 1966 with Westbury LL, a team based out of Houston. Last year, the Needville, Texas team lost in the U.S. finals.

FULL LLWS SCHEDULE: Bracket update for Boerne
Nevada, like Texas, is 2-0. The Northwest Region reps first beat the Metro Region (South Shore, New York Little League) on Thursday, 9-1. Henderson Little League then squeaked past Central East Maui Little League on Monday.
With the game tied 2-2 in the sixth inning, two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases for Nevada. Noah Letalu drew the third walk of the inning to bring in the game-winning run. Hawai’i had a baserunner in the sixth, but he was thrown out trying to advance on a drop-third strike, ending the game on a double play. Nevada right-hander Gunnar Gaudin pitched a complete game, allowing nine hits and striking out five.
He will not be able to pitch vs. Texas. Texas will be without its top pitcher vs. Nevada after Julian Hurst dominated Florida for a complete-game victory.
Paseo Verde Little League has allowed just three runs over its last five games, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
No player can toss more than 85 pitches in a day and no player can pitch three days in a row, regardless the number of pitches thrown. Here is how much rest is required for Little Leaguers ages 14 and under:

A recent Review-Journal letter to the editor mischaracterized Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, also known as the Clark County Lands bill. As the former executive director of the Nevada Conservation League, I wholeheartedly support this legislation, so I wanted to set the record straight.
Sen. Cortez Masto has been working on this bill for years in partnership with state and local governments, conservation groups like the NCL and local area tribes. It’s true that the Clark County lands bill would open 25,000 acres to help Las Vegas grow responsibly, while setting aside 2 million acres for conservation. It would also help create more affordable housing throughout the valley while ensuring our treasured public spaces can be preserved for generations to come.
What is not correct is that the money from these land sales would go to the federal government’s coffers. In fact, the opposite is true.
The 1998 Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act is a landmark bill that identified specific public land for future sale and created a special account ensuring all land sale revenues would come back to Nevada. In accordance with that law 5 percent of revenue from land transfers goes to the state of Nevada for general education purposes, 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority for needed water infrastructure and 85 percent supports conservation and environmental mitigation projects in Southern Nevada. This legislation has provided billions to Clark County and will continue to benefit generations of Southern Nevadans. Sen. Cortez Masto’s lands bill builds upon the act’s success.
So here’s the good news: All of the money generated from land made available for sale under Sen. Cortez Masto’s bill would be sent to the special account created by the 1998 law. Rather than going to an unaccountable federal government, the proceeds would continue to help kids in Vegas get a better education, bolster outdoor recreation and modernize Southern Nevada’s infrastructure.
I know how important it is that money generated from the sale of public land in Nevada stay in the hands of Nevadans, and so does the senator. That’s why she opposed a Republican effort last year to sell off 200,000 acres of land in Clark County and other areas of the country that would have sent those dollars directly to Washington.
Public land management in Nevada should benefit Nevadans. We should protect sacred cultural sites and beloved recreation spaces, responsibly transfer land for affordable housing when needed and ensure our state has the resources it needs to grow sustainably. I will continue working with Sen. Cortez Masto to advocate for legislation, such as the Clark County lands bill, that puts the needs of Nevadans first.

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Nevada’s jobless rate is holding steady, but the state is still adding jobs.
A new report from DETR shows February’s unemployment rate unchanged at 5.3 percent, with the labor force growing by nearly 3,800 people.

Nevada now has about 1.6 million nonfarm jobs, up 2.2 percent over the past year and 1,500 more jobs than in January.
