Pa. House honors team with 'Taney Dragons Week'

The state House on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution designating Sept. 14-20 as Taney Dragons Week in Pennsylvania.

The resolution honors the Philadelphia Little League team that took U.S. runner up honors during the Little League World Series in Williamsport last month.

"I'm proud that this team is based in my district, that the entire city adopted them as its own, and that as the Little League Pennsylvania champions, the Taney Dragons have made all of Pennsylvania proud," said resolution sponsor Rep. Brian Sims (D., Phila.).

The resolution recognized the Taney players, coaches, volunteers and the Taney Youth Baseball Association, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
