Looking to repeat as State Champions For the third year in a row, the Woodlawn Bears are riding an 11 game win streak coming into the championship game. The bears have not played South Side this season. Woodlawn has several key players in their lineup and one would think that Arkansas State commit Will Richardson would get the ball. This team knows how to win it but will have to play well against a South Side team that is primed to make a three peat very difficult.
Projected Starting Lineup:
C Trey Scallion
RF Nick Ward
3B Sam West
1B Joseph Jones
LF Jacob Wright
CF Nick Willis
South Side Bee Branch:

South Side makes its sixth trip to the State Title game looking to knock off Woodlawn and win their first title since 2014. A solid team that has played well as of late, South Side is no push over in this Title game.
