We lose some guys but I feel great about what we got returning. Definitely going to compete for a district championship again! How's everyone else's 3A teams stacking up this year?

Very difficult to repeat as champions, especially in 3A where there are a lot of really good teams. I'll place my bet on someone other than Berwick winning it, but I'll sure they will be around near the end.

South Beauregard will be solid again. They have some arms and play really good defense. Don't think anyone can count out Iowa in 3A, they always seem to be hanging around come May.

In regards to 3-3A, I think Jena returns just about everyone off of last years District Championship team.

I think they will be pretty good, I haven't seen or heard much out of them, but then again Baseball is one of those games where sometimes luck matters just as much as skill. A couple of bad bounces either way can determine a game. Last year the game in Jena was an errorfest, I think both teams were close to double digits in errors. That being said, the district probably comes down to the two of us again, I just don't know if anyone can be as consistent as Jena and Caldwell was in district last year.

Jena will win 3-3A. Probably finish undefeated in district. I don't think Caldwell has the pitching or hitting to contend with them.

Baseball has a way of humbling you though, last year, Caldwell had a good team, but had unexpected losses to Marksville and Avoyelles. Jena dropped the game at Caldwell, but won at Jena to clinch the district in a game that could have been won be either team.

That is very true. Anyone can beat anyone, happens every year. I can assure you that come playoff time a lot of number high seeds will get knocked out unexpectedly. Crossing my fingers that Winnfield can stay focused regardless of where they finish the year ranked.

However, based off the games I have seen, it would be hard for me to imagine Caldwell beating Jena. Doesn't mean it can't happen, just think Caldwell is young and Jena has more experience on the field.

Winnfield looked pretty good Friday night, it was a pretty good game between the two teams. We have to stop kicking the ball around though if we are to make a run this year.

Yes for sure. Errors and walks hurt.

This team is solid though, the coaches put together a pretty difficult schedule for them out of district to test them. Their three losses are to Hicks (9-4), No. 1 power point ranking in B; Winnfield(11-8), No. 1 power point ranking in 2A; and Sterlington (2-1), No. 1 in 3A.

Yes, I would say Sterlington's pitching may be best we have faced.

Well after week one, any surprises in yall district? Weird to see Marksville starting this slow, not world beaters but weird to see them with only one win.

It started about like I thought, Jena took two from Marksville, and it wasn't as close in the second game as the score indicated. Caldwell and Avoyelles split home games as did Peabody and Bolton.
This week Jena hosts Peabody in a Tuesday doubleheader, Caldwell has a home and home with Bolton. Avoyelles has a home and home with in Parish rival Marksville. Jena really might be the class of this district, they have only lost 3 games this year and I think all 3 of those teams will win 20+ games this year. I don't know what roster size indicates but i think Jena has 27 between their JV and Varsity. The only other team in the district right now with a winning record is Peabody, so a sweep this week would be huge for Jena.

I’ve seen three of the teams in this district compete. I mean no offense but Jena should finish undefeated in district. Unless they have an utter meltdown in a coupe of games I don’t feel like anyone else in this distriict can compete. Course meltdowns do happen in high school baseball.

District 3- 3a is garbage. Jena is the only team with a pulse right now. They should easily go undefeated. If they cannot sweep this district then they will be gone in round two. The one thing that may hurt Jena is they do not have a dominant arm but have won with several different guys piecing it together. If they play solid on defense then they could be a quarter finals team. The district will hurt Jena in the power rankings though. They will need some key non district wins down the stretch to stay in the top 6. As far as Caldwell, they are not very good. I will say though that Jena is capable of kicking it around and if they do we could see another “t ball” affair for the district championship.

It’s official, Caldwell is terrible. How many seniors did they lose? Are they starting a bunch of freshmen? Whatever it is they are bad! Was there more expected of them? Are they not coached very well?

7 starters in the field I think and their top 2 if not 3 pitchers. They lost a ton of talent off that team.

Avoyelles always seems to give Jena a hard time for at least one game. By no means should Jena lose to them but for some reason they struggle at least once with them. Avoyelles could easily be the second best team in the district with the complete melt down of the Caldwell baseball program. Good programs lose talent but have the young guys ready and still compete. Caldwell giving up 19 runs to Bolton is unacceptable ( if they claim to have a baseball program) Seems to me that the football program at Caldwell is on the rise while the baseball program (team) is declining rapidly
