The three metro area schools placed players on the Louisiana Sports Writers Associations Class 1A All-State baseball and softball teams. <\/p>\n
Ascension Catholic, a Division IV semifinalist in baseball and a quarterfinalist in softball, put four players on the LSWA squads. Division IV Catholic-PC has two players on the softball squad, while FRA has one softball player <\/p>\n
LaSalles Keeley Parham and Ascension Episcopals Jeffrey Elkins lead the 1A squads. Parham was voted the Outstanding Player for softball after hitting .500 with 41 RBIs. She also had a 10-4 mark in the circle for the 1A champions. Elkins, a University of Louisiana at Lafayette signee, led AES to the Division IV title with a .626 batting average with 11 home runs and was voted the Outstanding Player for baseball. <\/p>\n
LaSalles Michael Duke (baseball) and Derek White (softball) received the Coach of the Year honors after leading their teams to 1A titles. <\/p>\n
Ascension Catholic senior baseball standouts who are also LSU-Eunice signees, Landon Clifton (10-4, 1.95) and Nick Bellina (.420, 39 RBIs), are part of the LSWA baseball squad. The Bulldogs Ceily Grisaffe (.417, 19 RBIs) and Isabelle Abadie (.373, 20 RBIs) made the softball squad. <\/p>\n
Sisters Ryann and Blaire Bizette represent Catholic-PC on the softball squad. Ryann Bizette, a Northwestern State signee, was 15-7 with a 1.59 ERA, while Blaire Bizette batted .487 with 18 RBIs. False Rivers Sarah Allen (.397, nine homers, 27 RBIs) completes the list of BR area players on the squads selected by a panel of sportswriters from across the state. <\/p>\n
