Fayetteville’s Brooklyn Jaeger, Keagan Supak, Landon Urban, Cole Fenghaus and the boy’s 4x400 relay team also represented Fayette County at the 1A state track and field championships held at the University of Texas Saturday.

It was a celebration eight years in the making. La Grange had not won a baseball playoff series since their 2013 state title year, but that drought ended in dramatic fashion Saturday as the Leps overcame Salado in an epic best-of-three series.

The Fayetteville baseball team had no trouble with High Island in their opening round playoff game Friday. The Lions blasted the Cardinals 16-0 in Fayetteville to advance to this week’s area round against Bartlett.

The Schulenburg softball team saw its season come to an end Saturday with a pair of losses to Three Rivers in a 2A area round playoff series in Kenedy. The Lady Horns lost the first game 9-3 and then lost the second game 4-3.

Before the La Grange baseball team could clinch the runner-up spot in District 20-4A with two wins Monday, they first had to get on the field to do so – and that proved to be almost more difficult than any opponent.

In a battle for the final playoff spot from District 28-2A Ganado defeated Flatonia 12-11 Monday. Flatonia actually led this game 11-3 at one point, but Ganado scored nine unanswered runs over the final three innings.

Two members of La Grange High School’s state softball titlewinning teams in 2014 and 2016 are nearing the ends of very successful college careers. Hatti Moore at University of Missouri is hitting .317 with 44 hits, 41 RBIs, 15 homers and 42 runs scored.

Schulenburg softball player Briana Vavra has taken strong command of the mound for the Lady Horns, pitching a nohitter in the first of a three game bi-district playoff series where Schulenburg trounced Refugio 13-0.
