The Zachary community and baseball fans were invited to Zachary Youth Park, 1650 E. Mount Pleasant Road, this past weekend for some exciting high school baseball during the 2012 Medical Pharmacy tournament.

Hosted by the Zachary Broncos, the tournament included play from several top 5A teams that also participated in the 5A State tournament last year - West Monroe HS, Barbe (Lake Charles) and C.E. Byrd (Shreveport) High Schools. Neville High School, also from West Monroe, competed in the tournament as well.

Tournament play began last Thursday when Barbe defeated West Monroe 11 - 2, followed by the Broncos' victory over Neville High, 9 - 2.

The mighty Broncos finished the tournament in a tie for first place with 3 wins and 1 loss, as did West Monroe who also finished at 3 -1.

Congratulations, and way to go, Broncos!
