Steeleville Post 480's players celebrate with their 25th District American Junior Legion tournament trophy after a formal presentation on July 22. Steeleville advanced to the tournament semifinals in West Frankfort last week, but was later named the tournament champion after two of the teams, Cobden and Chester, agreed to take lower seeds in the 5th Division tournament to avoid traveling to West Frankfort.
