Former Quitman High School baseball star, John Tyler “Ty” Simonelli, has committed to play baseball at Northwestern State University. The announcement was made on October 28th. 

After graduating from Quitman High School in 2022 where he led the Wolverines to the LHSAA Class B state semifinals, the son of Micheal and April Simonelli played one year each at Bossier Parish Community College (BPCC) and South Arkansas Community College, located El Dorado, AR. 

“This is the result of a lot of hard work and dedication to a sport that’s not always forgiving. He had a dream as a young kid and he kept betting on himself at every obstacle. We are so thankful for all of the coaches, players and families who have been there for Ty along the way!” – April Simonelli
