The Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) released the 2025 postseason brackets in baseball on Tuesday, and not a single school from Jackson Parish will be playing in the first round. For Weston and Quitman High Schools, the news was very welcome, while at Jonesboro-Hodge, it was a punch in the gut.

By virtue of their #2 and #5 seedings in the 20-team Class B bracket, both Weston and Quitman received automatic entry into the second round, but for Jonesboro-Hodge, the first round exclusion meant the Tigers missed making the Division IV bracket entirely.

Weston, who finished the season with an official 19-10  record that didn’t include three wins over out-of-state opponents, will host the winner of #15 Avoyelles Public Charter (10-11) and #18 Converse (12-17). Weston did not play APC during the regular season, but does own an 18-4 victory over Converse in the contest that was played on February 14th. 

Quitman (14-14) will also play host to a second round game, when they will welcome long-time rival Choudrant (11-15) for a #5 – #12 matchup that will be a rematch of the 2-1 Choudrant victory that was played on March 28th.

Jonesboro-Hodge turned in one of the better seasons the Tigers have had over the past several years, finishing the year with a winning record at 11-10, which included an early season #1 ranking in Division IV. By season’s end, the Tigers were on the outside looking in at the 24-team bracket, having been designated a #25 ranking, just 0.2476 out of the final spot, which went to 3-17 East Beauregard.
