It’s an all-Fayette County Regional semifinal baseball playoff series. The Round Top-Carmine Cubs beat Leakey 11-0 Thursday in Burnet, while Fayetteville swept Medina in a bestof- three series last week.

The La Grange 4x200 relay placed fifth at state with a time of 1:27.93. Gilmer won the state title with a time of 1:25.90.

Round Top-Carmine baseball player Hunter Schobel recently performed on the mound in ways that would save the Cubs’ season. Round Top-Carmine defeated Richards High School in a tiebreaker match by a score of 2-1 just to get into the playoffs. This was followed by a dominating performance against High Island with a 17-7 final score to advance to the second round.

• La Grange coaching hires recently include Brodney Pool (former NFL defensive back) as defensive coordinator; Trent Collier (most recently a Schulenburg assistant) as head boys basketball coach and football assistant, and Chance Willard (mostly recently offensive coordinator at Mineral Wells) as the Leps’ new offensive coordinator.
