Preview: Liberty and Bullard will decide the Region III representative for the second straight year as they face off in the Region III Championship. In a very exciting series played last year at Texas A&M University, the Lady Panthers won two games to one. 'They are not as deep as they were last year,' said Liberty Head Coach Karen Slack. 'But they fight to win.' Both teams swept their series last week, so they should be well-rested.
