The baseball season is just around the corner for area high schools. The Winnfield Senior High School Tigers are looking to keep their winning ways as they return six starters from last year’s 3-2A District Champions and State Quarter Finalists: seniors Bret Jurek, Jake Lashley, Eli Lasyone, Eli Spangler, and Joshua Tinnerello, along with sophomore Hunter Tucker.

Graduated from the twotime district championship team are Justin Lawson, Edward Teal, and Jacob Tinnerello. Theses shoes will be hard to fill; however, the Tigers have young players anxiously waiting to get their opportunity to show their talent and fill these openings. The boys have started working to continue the high standards of Tiger Baseball. Last year the boys finished with a 21-5 regular season record, 24-7 overall season record, 6-0 in district play, and back to back district championships. In the past two years, 2018 and 2019, the baseball team has gone 46-18 and 14-1 in district play.

Two Winnfield Tiger Football Players officially signed commitments to play college football on Wednesday, February 5. Jake Lashley (pictured lower right) signed with Louisiana College and Jackson McFarland (pictured lower left) signed with Nichols State University. Lashley, a slot receiver and running back on offense and free safety on defense had 4 interceptions on the season and in on 117 tackles. He also had four punt returns for touchdowns and two interceptions for touchdowns. McFarland, a defensive end on defense, was in on 76 tackles and one of the best deep snappers in the nation, rated four stars by Rubio Long Snapping.

The Winnfield Senior High School Football Banquet recognized WSHS football players making a significant impact this past Thursday. Coach Bankston emphasized that it is not just the young men recognized, but the entire team that “represents the school, our community, and our parish when they put the WSHS uniform on.” He also said, “Football teaches discipline, working together as a group, handling a tough situation/a good situation, picking your teammate up, holding each other accountable for the benefit of the team and program. None of that has anything to do with the game, but has everything to do with becoming a responsible adult, taking care of your business, whether it is your family, your job, your religion, or your community.” Coach Bankston continued, “We lost five games this past season within more or less a touchdown. You can do one of two things: you can feel sorry for yourself and blame everyone else, z you can learn from the mistakes you made and get up and go again.
