LUBBOCK, Texas (November 14, 2024) – Head Baseball Coach Nathan Blackwood has announced the 2025 schedule for the Chapparals, which will start on Jan. 31 at Hays Field.
 
Lubbock Christian will start the defense of their Lone Star Conference regular season and tournament titles will begin on their home field against UT Tyler, kicking off a slate of 24 total home games at the friendly confines. After the Patriots, the Chaps will host series against Oklahoma Christian, Angelo State, Texas A&M-Kingsville, West Texas A&M and Cameron.
