The LSUE baseball and softball teams were recognized for their successful seasons at Tuesday’s Eunice Board of Aldermen’s meeting.
Jeff Willis, athletic director and head baseball coach, said he appreciated the city’s support that included escorts in and out of Eunice by police, marshals and firefighters.
The baseball team won its sixth NJCAA Division II national title. The softball team finished fourth in Division II and has won five national titles.
“It is very exciting to see young people that have a goal at hand then reach that goal,” Willis said.
