If you already signed up for both, you will see an asterisk by the players name starting next week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we start looking ahead to our Fall season, you will see some changes to the player's names on the website.&amp;nbsp; A player that has already alerted the league that he wants to return for the Fall will&amp;nbsp; have one asterisk (*) next to his name starting the week after the July Championship.&amp;nbsp;The players that will be new to the league this Fall have two asterisks (**) by their name so that we know to order them a uniform.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Games in the fall will start the weekend after Labor Day.&amp;nbsp; We will play on Sunday afternoons at 1:30, 4:00, or 6:30.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ncsjl.cottonstatesleague.com/news.aspx?id=313</link><pubDate>7/28/2025</pubDate></item><item><title>Standings (as of 7/29/25)</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
