Opening day of the high school baseball season is finally here and we couldn't be more excited!  For the past couple of years, we have really bolstered our coverage of the high school baseball season by providing our Power 25 Rankings, Players of the Week Awards, Weekly Scout Blog, and our coveted Game of the Week.  We will continue to provide all of the above and more this season, but today, it is time to announce our Week 1 Game of the Week matchup!  There were a lot of good games to choose from in Week 1, but we decided to go with a clash of teams from the northern part of the state, as Benton and West Monroe are set to battle tomorrow at Louisiana Tech!  Be sure to follow us, across all of our social media platforms, for complete coverage of this 5A clash between the Tigers and the Rebels!
