Heading into the Regional Quarterfinals, Pioneer was slated against the Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial Eagles. After a tough series, the Diamondbacks prevailed 2-1. Now Sharyland Pioneer is set to face off against Buda Johnson out of District 26-5A.
On the 6A Side of things, the La Joya Coyotes have been electric in 2022. Finishing off as the number three seed in 31-5A, La Joya is led by Texas Tech signee J.C. Guttierez. After a Sweep over Weslaco, La Joya faced off against San Antonio Stevens in a one game winner take all in which La Joya came out victorious 5-2. In the regional quarterfinal, The Coyotes went up against 31-6A rival Edinburg Vela in a thriller of a series, capturing Games one and three in dominant fashion to win the series 2-1.
