The Midland High Bulldogs are on fire. After a dominant sweep of El Paso Eastwood in the bi-district championship—winning 3-1 and 5-1 to outscore the Troopers 8-2—this team has now strung together an incredible 14-game winning streak. That momentum is carrying them straight into the area championship round, where they'll face a tough Southlake Carroll squad.
While the Bulldogs boast an impressive 28-5 record, the Dragons come in at 13-21 but are battle-tested after a 2-1 series win over Boswell. This is a best-of-three series that promises plenty of drama, with all games taking place at Rocker B Ranch in Graford, Texas. The schedule is set: Game 1 on Thursday at 7:00 p.m., Game 2 on Friday at 1:00 p.m., and if necessary, a decisive Game 3 on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
A victory here would be a major milestone for Midland. Not only would it keep their remarkable streak alive, but it would also punch their ticket to the regional semi-finals for the first time since 2015. From there, they'd face the winner of the Denton Guyer vs. Dallas Jesuit series. For a team riding this kind of hot streak, the sky's the limit.
