Lufkin's win over KWP and Porters win over Nacogdoches determined the #2 and #3 seeds for the playoffs. A big deal and the reason KWP were in a must win situation last night. Neither wanted to face Hallsville or Whitehouse in the first round. KWP also needed a Porter loss to take 2nd place because Porter had the head to head advantage. A gritty come from behind win by the Pack too on their Senior night.  They were down  3-0 early in the 2nd inning, things didn't look good, KWP was ripping the ball pretty good and Lufkin pitching was walking and hitting batters on base.  Then Stafford hits a Grand Slam bomb over the right field fence to change things in a big way.

KWP kept coming, they had more opportunities to score but Lufkin made the plays on defense to thwart any comeback on KWP part.  KWP have a couple guys that can really rip the ball.  Solid win by the Pack to finish out district play.  If you have not seen them play, Kingwood Park and New Caney Porter are very good teams,  Lufkin won 2 of 3 from both, all were tightly contested games.

Huntsville is a good team too, they just got mixed up in a very competitive district, they beat Porter three times and won one against KWP too.

Is there a requirement by UIL that a 5A  school must provide baseball and softball?  Tyler High should have the option to drop their baseball and softball programs.  Those programs have been non competitive for years and years now. Tyler High baseball only scored 10 runs in all of district play and their girls softball scored only 4 runs all district.  I just don't see how getting beat 18-0, 21-0 and 27-0 helps the district they play.

I'm thankful that our Lufkin High sports across the board are for the most part competitive year in and year out. Yes there have been some down years in some areas but over all they all usually compete and represent well.  There are a couple areas where we tend to lack, particularly participation in girls track seems to be down.   Some of the other sports like swimming and golf I don't know much about.  Our Cross Country seems to be equaled by Hudson these past few years.  

Of course we all would like to see football back in the playoffs, Boys basketball has been in high gear and consistent for many years now. Right now Lufkin baseball and softball are playoff teams and that's pretty good place to be right now, so Go Pack!

The #10 player in Texas for the ‘27 class continues his big freshman year. Here is his swing of his Grand Slam against Kingwood Park. The ‘23 Junior Future Games member has shown the ability to really impact the baseball at the plate. 📈📈
