Citizen releases All-Parish baseball team

After an eventful baseball season that saw five of the six Ascension high-school teams make the playoffs, the Weekly Citizen has released its All-Parish team.
Ascension Catholic had the best season as they reached the state semifinals, before losing to top-seed Central Catholic in an 11-inning thriller.
Their district counterpart, Ascension Christian finished the season as runner-up in District 6-1A and won their first playoff game in school history.
Dutchtown went 21-13 during the regular season, but they were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs after an eight-inning barn-burner with Ouachita Parish.
East Ascension also had their year ended in the first round. The Spartans finished the regular season 17-17, but they were eliminated by 11th-seeded New Iberia.
St. Amant had the most success of the three 5A teams.
The Gators finished the regular season tied with Dutchtown for second place in District 5-5A. Once in the playoffs, they upset No. 14 Ruston on the road in the opening round.
