Since we are out of the playoffs, I will give my 5A region 1 predictions.
Of the eight teams left, I've seen 7 of the 8 this year. Here are my picks with my confidence in them next to them with 4 being my most confident pick and 1 being least confident.
Paschal over Amarillo - 3
**Panthers pitching depth will be the difference.
Coppell over Southlake Carroll - 1
**Could be a series for the ages. A shame they have to square off in the 3rd round.
El Paso Socorro over Abilene High - 4
**Both teams have 2 very good starting pitchers, Socorro's line-up is much better and will be the difference.
Flower Mound over Keller - 2
**This is toss-up and it could go either way, but I'll take the Jaguars.
