East Central baseball has returned to South State and will face the winner of Vancleave and West Jones in 5A, while Gulfport has a South State series with Northwest Rankin in 6A.
In 3A, the St. Stanislaus Rock-a-Chaws also made South State and will face the winner of St. Andrew’s and Clarkdale while Resurrection awaits the winner of Taylorsville and Ethel in the 1A South State round.
