Alexandria Senior High School’s outstanding boys basketball season produced All-State honors for senior Jarvell Bordelon.

The 6-1 guard averaged 16.7 points and 7 rebounds per game for the Trojans and his performance and the team’s success earned him a spot on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 5A All-State team.

ASH finished 31-4, reaching the state semifinals as the No. 2 seed in Select Division I.

He was the only parish player included on the All-State boys or girls rosters for Class 5A.

It is comprised of two five-player teams plus honorable mention selections.

A 12-member LSWA committee makes the picks choosing from first-team all-district players that coaches identify.

Longtime local sports journalist LaMar Gafford is one of the LSWA All-State Committee members.
