It’s an All-Fayette County Regional Baseball Final!

An amazing postseason for Fayette County baseball teams has gotten even more exciting.

County neighbors Fayetteville and Round Top-Carmine will face off against one another for the Region IV-1A title and a berth in the state semifinals. Both the Lions (14-3) and the Cubs (13-12) won their respective regional semifinal series last week, setting up this marquee matchup.
