    It was a well played game between both teams. West Monroe just had more experience with people such as John Pearson, Hayden Fedrico, Trey Hawsey. Most of these guys were on the 2022 state championship team and the runner up state champion team. West Monroe rebuild around these seniors since the 2021 season which paid off.
    For Barbe, this is a very young team who has alot of promise. 34-7 on the season, ranked 25 nationally, 15-1 as district champs. I wouldnt be surprise to see these guys bounce back and end up in the top 5 nationally ranked team in the 2025 season. Both powerhouse programs showcase what there is to expect from every season from nationally ranked programs. Since the 2020 season, 2021 and 2023 barbe has won while West Monroe won the 2022 and 2024 Class 5A and Non select Div 1 championship.

      This is probably because they have to prove that they are worthy recruits for other colleges. garner has already proven that he is a good college recruit so there no point at showing of more talent to other school when he’s verbally committed to one.

      cause Sulphur has a field capacity of four fields to share between at least 40 teams. it takes about three days just for the semi so if a LHSSA did allow bo3 series in sulphur there is potential that it could take a about 5-6 days plus around this time it is raining alot too so it could take longer. with the first and second round being played at the highest seed home field. it make since that they would play b03 since its just two teams playing.

      Littleton was their second best pitcher this season. If cecchini had the confidence to start the kid in a state championship game. he must of been doing something right all season long. But West Monroe this season proved to be the second best team in the state with this roster.(before yall get hurt, Catholic BR is the best team in the state and the nation) They beat the defending non select div 1 state champion and claimed their second state title in four years. This barbe squad has a very bright future and WM will keep building off this win for sure.

      it’s probably because this is a Barbe series. Yes props could have been given towards West Monroe but it is what it is.
