VYPE Baseball Regional Quarters Preview: Lake Creek to face Montgomery, full baseball playoff schedule
The two schools separated by a mere 5.4 miles (a nine-minute drive with good traffic) will make the 45-minute drive up the road to Sam Houston on Thursday to open their best-of-three series.
Following them will be the fans of each school and with the communities being so close, including the schools being in the same school district, tickets will be highly sought after for this series.
"There's a lot of excitement in the community for this game," Schramm said. "There's a lot of people talking about it and wanting to come to the games. Everybody wants to come out and see and good series and I think they will."
Being in the same district, Montgomery and Lake Creek are familiar with each other - playing each other four times over the previous three seasons, but never in a playoff series.
Montgomery has been here before.
The Bears last reached this round in 2018 and are seeking their first Regional Semifinals trip since the 2013 season. In 2012, Montgomery reached the 5A State Semifinals.
"We're going to have to play good baseball because they are going to be a very well-coached team," Schramm said. "They have a lot of pitching over there. We're going to have to play good baseball and play well in all three areas to get two wins against them this weekend.
"Our kids just want an opportunity to go play, Montgomery they are talented. They have a lot of talented players over there and we're aware of that. I don't think we put anything extra into it that it's Montgomery, it's just an opportunity to play in the playoffs and move on to the next round."
