Staff Reports

The Cougars baseball team, fresh off a strong victory in the regional quarterfinals against Bridgeland, opens the regional semifinals Thursday night at 7:30 against Rockwall-Heath.

Game 2 will be Friday at 2 p.m., and if a Game 3 is needed it will be at 1 p.m. Saturday. All games will be played at West High School, just north of Waco. Driving directions are here.

Tickets will be sold at the gate. But for those who can’t make the two and a half hour drive, the game is livestreaming here.

The winner of the series will face the winner between Rockwall and Grand Oaks in the regional final, with a trip to State on the line.
