Copan and Barnsdall Baseball Host Districts
Getting down to it in high school baseball, as many schools will start to have some postseason games over the next few days and weeks.
This weekend it is Class A and B District play. Both Copan and Barnsdall had good enough seasons that they are hosting those postseason tournaments.
The Copan Hornets are looking for their first Class B Regional appearance since 2010. Copan enters the playoffs at 14-6. Copan will face Welch and Bluejacket in the three-team District today.
Head coach Daniel Wren says those opponents are plenty capable.
Copan has beaten Bluejacket 7-4 and 12-1 in two matchups in the regular season. Meanwhile the Hornets own a 9-2 victory over Welch in its only meeting earlier this year.
Wren talks about how his team is going to approach the playoffs.
It is a double-elimination tournament. Copan will face Welch at noon and the Hornets will take on Bluejacket around 2:00. There may be four games on Thursday or more games on Friday, as well.
Barnsdall is hosting a Class A District, as well. The Panthers began their District on Wednesday with two shutout wins over Okay, 9-0 and Foyil, 12-0.
The wins move Barnsdall to one victory from Regionals. Panthers will face Okay at 3:30 on Thursday afternoon. Barnsdall only has to win one of two possible District title games.
Panthers are 22-7 on the season.
