Happy Thanksgiving from the Prep Baseball Louisiana family to yours!  2024 has been a wonderful year for us and we are truly thankful for all of the players, coaches, and families who've helped make this year the most successful year that we've ever had in the Bayou State.  This time of the year, we always like to reach out to players in the senior class to ask them, "Who and/or what are you most thankful for, as you prepare for your final season of high school baseball."  Below, we highlight the individual responses that we received and we want to thank each player who took the time to participate.  Again, we want to thank our extended family, across the state of Louisiana, for all of your support throughout this year, and we can't wait to see everyone at the ballpark in January!

"I'm thankful for my familly, specifically my mom, dad, brother, and sister.  They've been by my side throughout everything.  I'm also thankful for all of my coaches throughout the years, pushing me beyond my limits.  Lastly, my friends, all of the people close to me and who are important in my life.  They've impacted me in ways beyond my understanding."
