“We wanted to see the best. (Argyle) was the champions. We wanted to take the champs down.”

Those words from Stephenville baseball coach Justin Swenson were ultimately prophetic after the Yellow Jackets took down two-time defending state champion Argyle 6-1 at Abilene Christian University’s Crutcher Scott Field on Thursday night.

The win completed a two-game sweep of the Eagles, who have won four titles since 2014, and propelled Stephenville to the first state tournament in school history.
