Dragon Baseball Team is Headed to the Regional Tournament
The Lady Dragons' 2021 Softball season came to an end in the first round of the district tournament. It was a tough season for the ladies but they learned a lot, fought hard, and plan to come back stronger next year.
The Dragons Baseball team is still in play. They beat Lavaca in the district tournament and faced a very solid Mansfield team in the championship game. The Dragons are the 2021 Class 4AA Conference and District Runner-Up! It is believed that this is the first time in 20+ years that a Dragon baseball team has been in the district championship game.
The team will be in regional tournament play on Thursday at 5:30 in Mountain Home. Follow the school Facebook page, follow the Live Feed on the website, or download the DragonsLink App for updates. Good luck Dragons!
