Western Set to Open District Play
The Western Oklahoma St. Pioneers will make their way to Dodge City, Kansas for the 2012 Plains District Tournament held May 18-20. Western will be joined by host Dodge City Community College and Longview Community College. The tournament winner will earn a spot in the 2012 NJCAA Div.II World Series held in Enid, Oklahoma. Western has won the previous four District championships. A win in Dodge City would push the Pioneers' streak of consecutive World Series appearances to five, the longest such streak in the country.

The same three teams met in the 2011 Plains District Tournament with Western topping Dodge City 19-5 for the title. Earlier this season Longview made a trip to Altus to take on the Pioneers in a four game series. Western won all four contests.
