After going undefeated in TAPPS 2-4A, All Saints was honored by the league with junior pitcher William Young named Most Valuable Player and junior catcher Chandler Hammond voted Defensive Player of the Year.
The Trojans, who were an inning away from reaching the state tournament, placed four players on the all-district first team, including Young, Hammond, sophomore outfielder Carter Skeen and senior shortstop John Norton.
All Saints will return its entire team next year except for Norton.
Grace Community senior catcher Micah Florey and junior outfielder Jacob Spitzer earned first-team honors as well. Bishop Gorman senior pitcher Cannon Woods, a future pitcher at Schreiner, was also named to the first team.
The Cougars had four second-team selections: Canaan Klaassen (junior pitcher), Austin Patrick (sophomore third baseman), Blake White (junior outfielder) and Jacob Wadle (junior first baseman).
Grant Bengston (junior first baseman) and Rock Caruso (freshman third baseman) earned second-team honors from All Saints.
Taylor Kemp (senior utility) was named to the second-team from the Crusaders, who had Tristan Saint and Asher Boudreaux tabbed as honorable mention.
