Our baseball and softball programs have qualified for the State Playoffs this year and our softball team will be defending their State Championship from last year. The baseball team finished the year ranked #4 in the State and the softball team finished ranked #3. Both our programs will be hosting the first two rounds of the State Playoffs at home. The baseball program will host on Tuesday, 5/3 @ 4 pm and again on Saturday, 5/7 @ 4 pm if we win on Tuesday. The softball program will host on Wednesday, 5/4 @ 4 pm and again on Friday, 5/6 @ 4 pm if we win on Wednesday. Both are facilities are open and make it difficult to take tickets, but being that these games are State Playoff games, we have to charge admission to each game. The tickets can be purchased through the GoFan Application on your phone. The easiest thing to do is to go to AzPreps365, click on baseball or softball bracket and then select 1A Bracket, click on the tickets button next to our games. The ticket fee is $10 for adult and $5 for students with an additional service fee charged to each ticket. Administration will be walking around during the games to ask to see your tickets on your phone so we can validate the tickets. We enjoy the opportunity to hosts the State Playoffs and appreciate your support in purchasing the tickets to support high school athletics. Please contact Mr. Echeverria at the high school with any questions. Thanks again and Go Vikings!
