The UIL Area playoff is where things pick up. It is usually where the #1 seed from one district faces off against the #2 seed from another. This one is following the script. And, unlike the bi-district game, this one will be a best-of-three series testifying to its potential competitiveness.

  • Game One is Thursday, May 4 at Aubrey High School. First pitch 6:30 pm.
  • Game Two will be Friday, May 5 at Kennedale High School. First pitch 5 pm.
  • Game Three, if needed, will follow immediately after Game Two 2 at Kennedale High School.
