Jackson Parish scored three runs in each of the first two innings but a five run rally by Ruston was too much to overcome in the 9-6 loss in the pre-district tourney tune-up.  The local 12U Girls All Star will be the host team in district tourney competition June 16-19 at the Jackson Parish Recreation Department Sports Complex.

Head coach for the 12U team is Brandon Lamkin with Trevor Hall and Courtney Edwards assisting. Team members include Hallay Taylor, Kylianne Barnes, Emma Kate Toms, Teegan Hall, Gracie Gray, Gabby Edwards, Skylar Lamkin, Jennalee Hall, Ryleigh Trahan, Bella Blewer, Tessa Reeves, Rachel Bandy, and Kamryn James.

Tessa Reeves and Jennalee Hall hit singles and Bella Blewer and Gracie Gray reached on an error and a walk respectively as JP12U got their first four batter on to take a three run lead to open the game. After Ruston came back to tie, JP12U scored three more in the second when Emma Kate Toms, Kylianne Barnes, Hallay Taylor all scored after walking to get the inning started.  Hall had two RBI and Skylar Lamkin one.
