Softball District Standings: Central Enters Do-or-Die Final Week

 

SAN ANGELO, TX -- Teams in the Concho Valley are entering their final week of play in the softball season and the playoff picture has become clearer.

The Concho Valley could have 11 representatives in the postseason when all is said and done. It could also have as few as 10 schools in the playoffs.

The team that could affect that number is San Angelo Central. The Lady Cats are currently one game behind fourth place Euless Trinity. The Lady Cats have two games this week -- Fort Worth Richland and Haltom. Both are must-wins. If Central were to drop one game and Trinity were to win one of their final two, that would see Central out of postseason contention.

Eldorado needs to win their final game to clinch a playoff berth. They play Menard on Tuesday.

Miles and Winters each clinched their playoff spot with wins on Friday.

Wall clinched a share of the District 4-3A crown with a win over Ballinger on Friday. They will look to clinch the outright title on Tuesday against Reagan County.

District 4-3A's playoff representatives have been set. The only thing left to do is sort out seeding between Grape Creek and Brady. The two will play on Monday. The winner will be the third seed, while the loser will be the fourth seed.

Here are the district standings as of April 15.
