CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Two Corpus Christi ISD baseball teams remain in the UIL 5A playoffs and now they are facing off. The No. 17 Carroll Tigers and No. 5 Ray Texans matched up for a three-game series in the Regional Quarterfinals.
"Pretty fun. We grew up playing with these guys," Keevyn Goss, Ray senior and Houston Christian signee, said. "You know, we know a good amount of stuff about them and we'll be ready though."
"I grew up playing against most of them," Jack Bell, Ray senior and Texas A&M signee said. "I know them personally off the field. Hang out with them, but I'm really excited to play them."
Ray and Carroll played one regular season game back in March. The Texans held off Carroll 6-5 despite the Tigers scoring one run in the bottom of the seventh.
"It's an amazing opportunity to play, especially them in the third round," Christopher Chavez, Carroll senior centerfielder, said. "I think it's going to be a good series in all. We just have a lot of momentum our way right now."
