After the program was discontinued in 1986, Jonesboro High School baseball reemerged this season with a vengeance.
In their first playoff appearance in over three decades, the Eagles scattered 17 hits in an 18-4 win over Gordon in Hamilton last Thursday and followed it up with a bi-district clinching 7-6 victory over the Longhorns on Saturday at Fair Park.
Jonesboro will face the winner of Hubbard and Blum in the area-round of the playoffs. Hubbard defeated Blum on Saturday, 7-1.
Game two of the best of three bi-dsitrict series was scheduled for Monday.
