PBR Louisiana Game of the Week (Week 2): St. Amant vs. Fontainebleau


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Opening day has come and gone, as the 2023 high school baseball season is now in full swing!  Last week, we traveled to Louisiana Tech's beautiful facility to see the Benton Tigers take on the West Monroe Rebels, in what was a very entertaining game.  Benton starter junior LHP Bryson Pierce, a Louisiana Tech recruit, was brilliant over his 5 1/3 innings pitched, leading the Tigers to the 7-2 upset win over the Rebels.  Since that Benton win, the Tigers have dropped 5 straight games and the Rebels have won 5 straight games.  We mention that, to point out that the high school baseball season is a LONG one.  It's a marathon, not a sprint, and teams want to be playing their best baseball towards the end of April and early May.  Moving on to our Week 2 Game of the Week, we've decided to head east, to watch St. Amant take on Fontainebleau.  St. Amant made it all the way to the state finals last season, so expectations were high heading into the year.  The Gators dropped a couple of games last week to Ascension Catholic and Vandebilt Catholic, but are working around a couple of injuries and getting new guys accustomed to playing at the varsity level.  Fontainebleau was a team that we were high on heading into the year, after finishing with a sub .500 record in 2022.  The Bulldogs started out at the #8 spot in our Power 25 Rankings, and after a 4-0 start to the season last week, they've moved up all the way to the #4 spot.  It should be another exciting matchup, and as always, be sure to follow us, across all of our social media platforms, for complete coverage of this 5A clash between the Gators and the Bulldogs!
