This Eagle Mountain Knights Sports Minute is brought to you by LakeView Boating Center
Lady Knights softball is moving on to the Class 4A postseason.
They open the Division II Region I playoffs with a best-of-three series against Benbrook. Game 1 is Thursday in Benbrook, followed by Game 2 Friday at Eagle Mountain. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m. A possible deciding Game 3 would be Saturday at noon in Benbrook.
The Lady Knights finished the regular season 19-12-1 overall and 8-4 in District 7-4A, good enough for third place.
They had a tough final week, losing a non-district game to private school John Paul II, 16-1, and then falling in the district finale to Springtown, 5-3.
Baseball controls its playoff destiny. A split with last-place Lake Worth will send the Knights to the postseason.
Eagle Mountain is 13-12 overall and 5-5 in District 7-4A. The Knights dropped a pair of close 3-2 decisions to Decatur last week.
At the area track meet last week in Springtown, Eagle Mountain regional qualifiers include Isaiah Wade in the pole vault, Emily Burton in the 100-meter dash, and Josslyn Bayer in the shot put and discus, along with the girls 4×100 and 4×200 relay teams.
