MOORE — The championship of the Moore Varsity Metal Bat Tournament will come down to a couple of veteran teams.

Led by the hot hitting of Las Vegas prep star Bryce Harper, Westmoore will play Yukon I in the title game at 6 p.m. today at Moore High.

The Jaguars are 3-1 heading into the championship. Their only loss came Friday against Yukon II.

Westmoore made it to the finale by beating outlasting Blanchard 3-2 in extra innings Saturday. They followed it up with a 10-8 victory over Moore.

Despite Blanchard also having a 3-1 record, it was the Jags who will represent Pool II in the championship due to their head to head encounter.

"To a man everyone has stepped up and had a great," Westmoore coach Shawn Brooks said.

Yukon I was able to knock off the likes of Southmoore, Edmond North, Putnam City North and Choctaw to win Pool I.
