BEAUMONT, Texas — The UIL Softball Playoffs continued this week with eight of our local teams in action.
Jasper and Bridge City swept their 4A Area Round series to earn spots in the Regional Quarterfinals. Jasper moves on to face Taylor, while Bridge City gets a shot at defending State Champion Liberty.
In Class 1A Chester sits in the Regional Semifinals after blasting Kennard, 18-2. The Lady Jackets will square off against third-ranked Chireno next.
Unfortunately Hamshire-Fannett, Woodville, Kountze, Deweyville and Colemsneil were eliminated after fantastic seasons.
