With regular-season and championship events canceled for the remainder of the year, the LHSAA has released All-Academic teams, usually honored at state championship events.

The boys tennis All-Academic composite team includes 10 seniors from the metro area. Two schools had a pair of student-athletes on the team: Fontainebleau’s Nicholas Costello and Drue Powers, and Lusher’s August Wietfeldt and Benjamin Wilkins.

Other area representatives include Gavin Blanchard of Central Lafourche, Connor Kenney of Chalmette, Thomas Levy of Jesuit, Arjun Iyer of St. Charles Catholic, Brandon Stokes of St. Martin’s and Rodrigo Rivera of Thibodaux.

To qualify for the All-Academic composite team, student-athletes must have a non-weighted 4.0 grade point average for their high school careers. The LHSAA also selects All-Academic class teams in each sport, which honors seniors with at least a 3.5 GPA.
