Teams from the Fort Worth area are entering the spotlight with Keller, Southlake Carroll, and Grapevine among the contenders. On May 22, Keller will face off against the No. 10 team, Prosper, at 6:30 PM at Jesuit High School. Keller, boasting a mighty season record of 31-8, has shown incredible promise with standout pitcher Cole Koeninger, a junior who has already committed to attend the University of Tennessee. After a spectacular performance where Keller’s pitching staff allowed absolutely zero runs in their previous game against Hebron, all eyes will be on Koeninger.

This game kicks off at 7:30 PM at Dallas Baptist University. Southlake’s pitching duo, Jack Fuller and Ethan Baiotto, both talented prospects with commitments to Weatherford College and Tennessee respectively, will be vital in determining the outcome of this crucial contest.
