The Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association announced last week  their 2025 All-District and All-State teams and a pair of local players were honored with WBCA All-State recognition. 

River Ridge sophomore infielder Cael Koenig was named Honorable Mention All-State by the WBCA. Koenig batted .506 during the 2025 season.

Also earning all-state recognition was Prairie du Chien junior outfielder Deacon Chesebro who was named to the WBCA’s Academic All-State team for 2025.

To earn a spot on the Academic All-State Team, players must meet this criteria:

1. Be a Junior or Senior

2. Receive first or second team all-conference recognition

3. Their head coach must be a WBCA Member.

4. The players’ GPA must be 4.00 or higher.

All-District teams were announced a few days prior to the All-State teams and a handful of local players received All-District recognition.

 

All-Southwest District 

First Team: Koenig (So.), River Ridge.

Second Team: Gage Wall (Jr.), Seneca

Honorable Mention: Carter Copsey (Sr.) and Blake Reynolds (So.), River Ridge.
