With a win Sunday in its final regular-season game, Douglasville American Legion Post 145 has gathered a little momentum heading into the Georgia State American Legion Tournament.

The tournament will be held at Hunter Park starting Wednesday and running through Sunday or Monday, with Post 145 the host teams for the 10-team double elimination event.

Douglasville Post 145 finished the season with a 26-10 overall record with a 12-4 region record.

Post 145 finished as the No. 2 team in its region and a fourth place finish in the overall state field. Douglasville will face tough Rockdale Post 77 in round one on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Post 145 has won three of four meetings over Rockdale. If Post 145 can win its first game, it will play again on Friday evening. Should they lose, Post 145 would drop into the losers bracket and have to play every day to fight its way to the championship.
