Showdown Set: No. 2 vs. No. 3

North-Waco Midway Regional Championship Series Starts Friday

It’s a battle of No. 2 and No. 3 in the state in Conference 4A, according to the latest Texas Girls Coaches Association poll, released today.

But fair or not, either second-ranked McKinney North (28-8-2) or third-ranked Waco Midway (26-6) will not get to reach the state final four. That’s because they play each other this week for the Region II championship in a best-of-three series.

The details of their series were released Monday, and they are as follows:

Game 1 is Friday at 7:30 p.m. at North.

Game 2 is Saturday at 5 p.m. at Baylor University’s Getterman Stadium.

And Game 3, if necessary, will be held 30 minutes after Game 2 at Getterman Stadium.

The Lady Bulldogs are 6-2 in postseason play this season. They swept their area round series 2-0 over Whitehouse, won their regional quarterfinal 2-1 over Mesquite Poteet and just won their regional semifinal 2-1 over Waxahachie.

The Pantherettes are also 6-2 this postseason. They won their area round game, 20-0, over North Dallas. Then they won the regional quarterfinal series over MIdlothian 2-1 before taking their regional semifinal series over Hallsville 2-1.
