The Arkansas Activities Association released its Baseball All-State Tournament Team, and several area players were recognized for their outstanding performances for their respective teams at the state tournament. Class 2A State Champion Woodlawn and Class 5A state titlist Marion lead the pack.
Class 2A state champion Woodlawn placed three players on the team while White Hall also had a player on the coveted list. Both schools were well represented after each team enjoyed long runs in this year's state playoffs with Woodlawn securing their eighth state tournament championship and White Hall eventually bowing out in the Class 5A state semifinals to eventual champion Marion, which placed trio Ben Gerrard, Chase Armstrong and Kaleb Catt on the squad.
Woodlawn's senior ace Kale Edmonds – who helped pitch the Bears to another title – was tabbed as the Most Valuable Player in Class 2A, while teammates catcher Jaydon Wilmoth and third baseman Dylan Butler were also selected to the team while While Hall senior outfielder Garrett Rhodes and Sheridan right handed pitcher Evan Ward were both chosen for the Class 5A team.
