SHALLOWATER, TX – As expected the weather in the West Texas area this past weekend was exceptionally windy and cold, making it difficult to evaluate players throughout the weekend. However, the Railyard Classic did feature a few top committed players, and a few highly talented uncommitted seniors and juniors. Lubbock Estacado goes undefeated winning all four of their games. Shallowater’s Hayden VanderRouest tosses a no-hitter in a big win over Lamesa. Levelland gets the win over Denver City in a big fourth inning comeback.

Final Scores:
Lubbock Estacado 9, Brownfield 5
Levelland 6, Abernathy 5
Levelland 14, Denver City 8
Shallowater 14, Amarillo River Road 2
