Defending Class B state champ Grace Christian looked the part Wednesday in its playoff opener, ripping visiting Fairview in a three-inning run-rule victory.
The 15-0 romp moves Grace Christian to the state quarterfinals at home against No. 5 seeded Hicks later this week. No game date had been posted on the LHSAA website Wednesday evening.
Baseball action involving four Rapides Parish schools gets underway today in best-of-three series. Buckeye and Tioga play at home, while Menard and Pineville are on the road.
All parish schools in Classes 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A compete in the LHSAA’s Select category. Classes B and C do not divide into Select or Non-Select for playoffs.
