The Bucs and Pearland Dawson were to play a one game "seeding" game to determine who would represent the remainder of District 23-6A after co-champs Pearland and George Ranch. The game was to be played in Sweeny. However, Dawson conceded the spot, and the Bucs elected to play old district rival Dickinson. Dawson will play Clear Springs in the playoffs. Dickinson baseball has risen to new heights this year, impressively winning the District 24-6A title from among the always competitive Friendswood and Clear Creek ISD schools. Some of the seniors of both Bwood and Dickinson will have already played against each other and will now be meeting again in a playoff game, both schools having missed the playoffs last year. The #14 area-ranked Bucs play at Dickinson on Friday May 5th at 7pm, then return to Clute Saturday May 6th for a 1pm game at Wilson Field. Game three is at Wilson Field thirty minutes after game two if needed.
