UPDATED: 8:33 am CDT June 18, 2008

Two 11-year-olds have been diagnosed with whooping cough this week.

The Douglas County Health Department said one test came back positive on Friday. A second case was confirmed on Tuesday.

One child has already gone through his antibiotics and is not considered contagious, doctors said.

Both play on the Kingswood Thunder baseball team. The head of the league said the team has canceled all its games until it talks with the health department.
