The 1B All-District team in baseball has been released with LHSAA Division V state champion, Quitman High School, and district 1B title holder, Weston High School garnering the lion share of placements.

All district selections are chosen by the district 1B coaches from Quitman, Weston, Doyline and Castor. Each coach puts up nominees for the elite team but can’t vote for a player from their own team. All-District team representatives are chosen from  statistics presented from only the district games played. 

Tait Henderson of Weston High School earned district 1B MVP honors after batting .600 in district play and winning two games as a pitcher. Additional local first team selections were Logan Ponder, Kace West, Hudson Pullig and Riley Duck from Quitman High and Cooper Delaney, Cole Tolar, Drew Browning, Braden Theriot, Colton Blundell, and Bryce Zehr from Weston High.
