Softball Game Preview: Bryan Vikings vs. Midway Panthers

The Bryan Vikings will square off against the Midway Panthers at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The timing isn't great for Bryan: they have been struggling with four straight losses at home, while Midway has snatched up 16 consecutive wins on the road dating back to last season.

On Tuesday, Bryan didn't have quite enough to beat Temple and fell 6-5.

Meanwhile, while Midway put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Killeen. Everything went Midway's way against Killeen as Midway made off with a 15-0 win. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten contests by six runs or more this season.

Midway is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.9 runs on average over those games. Bryan's defeat dropped their record down to 2-11.

Bryan might still be hurting after the 8-0 loss they got from Midway in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can Bryan avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
