Last year, Prosper became Conference 5A Region 2 Champions before moving on to the state tournament where they defeated Tomball, 6-2 in the semi-finals and Georgetown, 8-0, to become the eventual State Champions.
Forney High School claimed a Bi-District Championship last year but were bumped in the area-round by Friso High School.
The Jackrabbits defeated Woodrow Wilson, 7-2, last week in a one-game bi-district matchup at Forney. Forney’s sophomore pitcher Mason Englert kept Wilson hitless in the first five innings with sophomore pitcher Jonathon Childress and senior pitcher Dawson Seabourne finishing the night 7-2.
