Louisiana Sports Writers name Loranger’s Jason Helmsetter Coach of the Year!
LORANGER—After a remarkable season that saw the Baseball Wolves achieve more than any other baseball
team previously as far as advancing
Coach Jason Helmsetter
in the playoffs, Loranger Baseball made some more history today
as head coach Jason Helmsetter was named Class 3A Coach of the Year and three members of his
history-making squad were named to the All-State Team. Seniors Taylor Abdalla and Tyler Kendrick
earned first team selection and teammate Kyle Wheeler received honorable mention honors.
“I really had no thought about this,” said a surprised Jason Helmsetter when asked about being named Class
3A Coach of the Year. “I kept checking the internet to see if our kids made it on the team, but I was
totally taken back when I got a call informing me that I had been selected.”
“A coach never receives an honor like this on his own. You have to have great assistants and great
players and we have had both,” explained Helmsetter. “I am really proud and excited for our
three seniors that were named to the All State squad. It speaks of their hard work and it is
the third year in a row that at least one of our guys was named to the team.”
