Area players honored
The Jackson Aggies did set a school record with 27 victories to just 11 losses outdoing the 1989 Aggie's 23 wins. Jackson fell short of making it to the state championship game due to a fluke triple play against Trinity in the third round of the AHSAA playoffs. It was still a great season for the Aggies with three players heading to the next level including one to Alabama and Auburn. Here is a rundown of the players that either made All-State or are headed to college to play ball. Kent Meyer is verbally committed to the University of Alabama.

He was the ASWA4A Pitcher of the Year; member of the Mobile Press Register's All- Region Team, Birmingham News Player of the Week in March and on the ASWA Super 10 Team.
