HOUSTON \u2013 The Memorial Mustangs baseball program has been through a lot this season. <\/p>\n

After needing a change in head coaches earlier this season, bringing in Head Football Coach Brooks Haack to lead the program, and restructuring their needs and goals, the Mustangs will play in their first-ever state championship game on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Memorial will face Tomball, a powerhouse program looking for its third state championship and playing in its third straight state title game. The Mustangs are looking forward to the challenge and are proud to represent their community, which has helped support the team through this unusual season. <\/p>\n

Tomball and Memorial class for the 6A Division 2 State Championship at 4 p.m. on Saturday at Dell Diamond. <\/p>\n
