Health officials in Omaha say two 11-year-old boys have been diagnosed with whooping cough.

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

Doctors say one child has already gone through a course of antibiotics and is not considered contagious.

Both boys plan on a local baseball team. The head of the league said the team has canceled all its games until it talks with the health department.
