Bulldogs change venue for regional semifinal

Saturday’s playoff games against White Oak to be played at Jacksonville High School

The New Waverly Bulldogs had originally planned to play their Region III best-of-three semifinal series against White Oak at Morris Frank Park in Lufkin on Thursday, and then again on Friday, but due to a scheduling conflict, the Bulldogs will relocate the games on Saturday to Jacksonville.

“Lufkin and Tyler Lee had agreed to a home-and-home series and their games coincided with when we were scheduled to play.” New Waverly assistant coach Brad Bohannon said. “So we had to go ahead with our alternative field, which will be in Jacksonville.”

Game one, which is scheduled for Thursday, will still take place at Lufkin’s Morris Frank Park at 7 p.m. Saturday’s games will be played at Jacksonville High School. Game two will begin at 2 p.m. and game three, if necessary, will begin approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of game two.
