Wolverines baseball team hosts neighborhood foe in Class B playoffs

It’s a short drive down from Choudrant to Quitman, and it’s one that the Wolverines baseball team hopes to make unpleasant for their visitors Tuesday.

Quitman and Choudrant tangle Tuesday at 5 at QHS in a Class B regional round playoff game. Quitman is seeded fifth in the state playoff bracket while Choudrant is No. 12.

The winner will advance to the state quarterfinals against either No. 4 Hicks or 13th-seeded Stanley. If Quitman and Hicks both win their regional games, the Wolverines will travel to Vernon Parish. If Stanley stuns Hicks and the Wolverines send Choudrant home unhappy, Quitman will host Stanley.

The state semifinals and finals are in Sulphur May 13-14.

Coverage of the Quitman-Choudrant game will be in Wednesday’s Jackson Parish Journal.
