A RESOLUTION
To commend the Livonia High School baseball team on winning the Class 3A state
championship game.
WHEREAS, the fighting Wildcats brought the state title in baseball back to Pointe
Coupee Parish for the first time since 1986, when the 1986 Livonia Wildcats and the 1986
Catholic High School of Pointe Coupee Hornets won the state championship in the
respective divisions; and
WHEREAS, the Livonia High School Wildcats had a very successful 2010 season,
having made their way into the semifinals of the Class 3A baseball tournament before
suffering a season-ending loss; and
WHEREAS, the Wildcats entered the 2011 season with a very young team and with
only a single senior on the roster, having lost six seniors to graduation the year before; and
WHEREAS, after several weeks of the new season, Livonia High School Baseball
Coach Jason Lemoine told his young players that he expected them to play well enough to
reach the tournament again and to win it; and
WHEREAS, the Wildcats had a great 2011 season, playing well and improving each
week, and ultimately winning their way back into the tournament and the championship
game; and
WHEREAS, Livonia High School was seeded ninth and would face the second-
seeded Parkview Baptist Eagles, known as a powerhouse team with seven championships
in the past ten years; and
WHEREAS, the underdog Wildcats stunned the Eagles in the first inning of the game
at J.C. Love Field as they scored three runs and never lost the lead in a victory that ended
with a final score of 7-5; and SR NO. 35 ENROLLED

season; and

bid; and
WHEREAS, the returning players do not plan to wait another twenty-five years to
win another championship and are talking of a repeat in 2012, and that has Coach Lemoine
optimistic about his players' chances.
