Jeeps roll into semi-state since 2007
DUBOIS COUNTY, Ind. (WEHT) — The Dubois County Jeeps baseball team is heading to semi-state for the first time since 2007. Jeeps head coach Luke Woolems says the team can feel the excitement. 'There's a difference between excitement and nerves,' Woolems said. Excitement and anticipation to do something the school has never done before. But around practice, Northeast Dubois is treating it like it's just another day in May. 'I feel calmer than I have been the entire tournament at this point,' Woolems said. 'I think the players feeding off that and they are relaxed.' 'I know for sure we are going to walk in there confident and so there's going to be nothing to it,' senior Aiden Sheetz said. But there is something to what the Jeeps are doing recently. Winners of six straight games, Northeast Dubois have won those games by a combined score of 73 – 7. The Jeeps senior slugger Aidan Sheetz is a big reason why. Going into postseason play, Sheetz had one homerun on the season now that total is up to four. Three long balls in just four games. When you ask him what's working once again it's about staying calm under pressure. 'I'm confident at the plate and I have a message on my wrist I read every time I go up to bat,' Sheetz said. 'What's that message if you don't mind me asking It's Philippians four verses six through seven it says don't be anxious about anything just leave it up to Him. That's what I do every time.' Leaving that anxiety behind might be tough when you are on the doorstep of the biggest win in school history. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Liberty-Eylau in semi-state for third straight year — what's changed?
TEXARKANA, TX (KTAL/KMSS) — Liberty-Eylau baseball is making its third consecutive semi-state appearance, but what has changed in the last few years? 'A whole bunch,' senior Britain Pipes said. 'A whole bunch of different coaches now, a bunch of different players. There's a lot of seniors this year, usually, we don't have that many seniors on the squad,.' But faces in the dugout are not the only changes. There is a new level of maturity. 'It's just changed this year. We're trying to stay as humble as possible this year,' Britain Pipes said. 'We know not to try and look ahead. We don't want to look at the finish line or think about holding up that trophy. We're just trying to stay in the now and trying to get that first game win.' The majority of this group of Leopards have gotten the invaluable experience of being a part of a state game, no matter how big their role, since they were freshmen and sophomores. Something none of the other three teams left in the 3A-DI division have. 'I feel like I'm more experienced, I feel like that's for everybody,' senior Triston Haugh said. 'The first time we went, I mean, it was crazy just seeing everything at UT Stadium, but now, a little bit older now, a little bit more used to it, know what to expect. So it's a better feeling for sure.' While the experience is great, this is a new season and anything can happen. The Leopards are not naive to that. 'It means a lot to do it year after year, but this year is a whole different year, a whole different game, and job's not finished,' head coach Zach Fowler said. 'So right now we're focused on getting ready for Iowa Park and that'll be it. If we can get past them, we'll look up and see who's next, but right now all the focus is on Iowa Park. It's nice to be back in the Final Four, but that's not hopefully the end of the story.' Liberty-Eylau will face off against Iowa Park on Friday, May 30 at 7 pm and Saturday, May 31 at 2 pm, the third game following if necessary. All games will be played at Forney High School.
