Johnson City beat Center Point on the road 14-2 on April 4 and swept San Saba in a doubleheader with scores of 16-6 and 16-1 on April 11.

The Eagles have won every district game so far this season and are ranked number one among Class 2A schools by the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association. With two games left, a perfect district campaign is not only possible – it’s within reach for head coach Rhett Eickenloff’s team.

“We don’t even talk about it, we just come out here every day just trying to get 1% better,” Eickenloff said. “At the same time, our kids continue to play the way they’re capable of, they know what they’re capable of doing, and that’s going undefeated in district.”
