For some teams, the most important game of the season is the one that puts them into the playoffs.
Last week's high school baseball and softball action in Avoyelles Parish could have been entitled, “As you like it.”
Avoyelles Charter Vikings Varsity defeated Delta Charter 9-0 on Saturday as two pitchers combined to throw a shutout. Jackson Ragusa struck out Trey to finish off the game.
There are three Avoyelles Parish boys teams in the state high school basketball playoffs. The playoff bracket was released Monday.

Maddie Chesne is a little young to be called a “fast woman” -- but she’s faster than most girls -- or boys -- her age.
