Mangham (9-4) defeated Berwick 10-4, Central Lafourche 12-5, and pounded Catholic of Point Coupee in the title game, 15-2.
Against Berwick, Josh Wilson picked up the win on the mound and even made large contributions at the plate with his bat.

Jared Dye started on the mound in the second game against Central Lafourche. Dye surrendered a pair of home runs, including a grand slam, before pulling out the victory.
The Dragons trailed 5-2 early on but the Dragons responded with a run in the third inning, four in the fourth inning, and they exploded for five runs in the sixth to scratch out a win.

Mangham totaled 11 hits in the game with the big blow coming in the form of a home run from Karl Wiggers who continues to be the power at the plate for Mangham. In the finals, Kyle King picked up the win as he pitched five innings and smothered the Catholic offense in a 15-2 route.†
The Dragons had 13 hits in the contest. Mangham benefited from home runs by King, Wiggers and Jason Jarrett.† Jarrett and Wilson had three hits each while Wiggers, Alex Smart and Todd Duchesne added two apiece.
