Kilgore's Todd House gets ready to round first base at Driller Park, in his last game as a Bulldog. House was one of five seniors for KHS this season: Jordan Pierce, Cade Henry, Tate Truman, and Aiden Domorad are the other four. House had two hits, a single and a double, but the Bulldogs lost, 6-0. Kilgore's senior class, though, never missed the playoffs. (Photo by DENNIS JACOBS - ETBLITZ.COM)
