Erath Bobcats capture rare District 6-3A baseball championship

Thu, 04/22/2021 - 9:31am

District baseball titles don’t come around too often at Erath High School. So when one does occur, it is a pretty big deal.
On Tuesday the Bobcats won only the school’s baseball district title after sweeping Abbeville.
“It was our first goal we made this season - to win district,” said first-year head coach Doug Vicknair. “We reached that goal and players earned it by continuing to fight and get better each day.”
Erath (11-17) only needed to win one out of two games for the title. Instead, they beat Abbeville 16-2 and then 10-0.
