Likewise, games also ended for the minor league teams last week, along with T-ball and coach pitched games the week before.

The Raiders ended the year with an 8-1 record, which included one game against a Wylie team in addition to the other two local teams.

The Indians were second in the major league with a 5-3 record, while the Oilers were 1-7. The Oilers also picked up an extra game against a Wylie team.
