DANIEL YOUNGBLOOD: Region I-3A, I-2A championship series promise fireworks

We’re one week from the UIL baseball state tournament and just three teams remain within Big Country Preps’ coverage area. Two of those — Brock and Wall — will do battle for Region I-3A supremacy, while Albany will take on New Deal for the Region I-2A crown.

That’s a heavy-hitting list as all four of those teams have played in a state tournament within the last two years, and two are now guaranteed to advance to Dell Diamond again this season.

Without wasting anymore time, let’s take a dive into both series and see what each of these squads is up against and will need to do keep its state title hopes alive past this weekend.
