It’s not unusual that Coach Austin Yager’s Jaguars (2-1, 15-4-2) have a lot of starters back from last year’s regional finalists. What is unusual is how young those starters still are. Second baseman Luke Levasser and outfielder Gannon Plummer are the only two returning senior starters while the rest of the infield – all still juniors – are back as well. The Jags should still be a force to be reckoned with when they return to District 26-6A next season.
Defending district champion Clemens isn’t going to give up its district title without a fight. Like Johnson, Coach Eric Zimmerman’s Buffaloes (5-0, 16-5-1) return a plethora of young players from last year’s Area finalists, including 29-6A Newcomer of the Year RJ Grant and pitcher Hunter Lauinger, the only two returning senior starters.
Clemens has already easily dispatched second-place Cibolo Steele in their first meeting, and swept 4th place San Marcos and 5th place Canyon. That means if Johnson is going to overtake Clemens, they’ll likely have to take matters into their own hands with this series.
