The school year is almost over, but there are still a few teams from the Texas Panhandle competing on the diamond for a trip to the state championship.
Softball has reached the regional finals across the Lone Star State, with teams playing for a spot in the state semifinals this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Three softball teams from the Amarillo-area are still alive, as Clarendon, River Road and Dumas all look to continue their seasons.
A win this week would put the three aforementioned teams on the doorstep of a trip to Austin to play for the UIL title.
