LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's been a long time since Little Rock sent a team to the Little League World Series and the Little Rock Junior Deputy All Star team has its eyes on ending that drought. 

The J.D. Bolts left for Waco, Texas Tuesday morning, the site of the Southwest Region Tournament. 

If they win the Southwest Region, the Little Rock team will head to Williamsport, Pennsylvania for the Little League World Series. 

The J.D. Bolts' first game is Thursday morning.
