Since it began fielding UIL teams in both baseball and softball in 1996, Sweet-water High School has never qualified both for the play-offs in the same year.
The 17-year wait could be almost over.
The Mustang baseball team is tied with Wylie for first place in District 4-3A with a 5-1 record with four games remaining, and the Lady Mustang softball team trails only first-place Snyder and is 5-2 with just three games to play.
Several of Sweetwater’s track athletes assured them-selves of advancing to next week’s area meet with top-four finishes at the District 4-3A track meet in Snyder that ended Thursday.

GREENWOOD — They haven’t been dominant lately, but Sweetwater High School’s baseball team is winning the close games — by getting clutch hits along with some great pitching.
Tuesday’s 1-0 road vic-ory at Midland Greenwood — keeping Sweetwater in a first-place tie with Wylie at 5-1 — was the Mustangs’ second straight one-run win and third in district play.
GREENWOOD — After dropping out of first place with a 10-0 loss to Snyder, Sweetwater’s softball team got back on track Tuesday by getting 17 hits and scoring 11 runs in the last two innings of a 13-3, run-rule win at Midland Greenwood.
Sweetwater (5-2) stayed a game behind Snyder, which improved to 6-1 in district with an 8-1 win over Big Spring (4-3). Sweetwater, which is closing in on a second straight playoff berth, will play host Friday to Big Spring at 5 p.m.
