At the end of each high school sports season, The Vicksburg Post honors Warren County’s best athletes in a number of sports with its All-County teams.
The 2025 All-County baseball team features 17 of the area’s top players from Warren Central, Vicksburg High, St. Aloysius and Porter’s Chapel Academy.
The list is led by Warren Central senior Maddox Lynch, The Post’s Player of the Year for Warren County.
After missing the first 10 games of the season with a wrist injury, Lynch stormed back to help the Vikings win 17 of their last 21 games as they reached the MHSAA Class 6A semifinals for the second year in a row.
Lynch, a third baseman and pitcher, batted .350 with two home runs, 18 RBIs and 17 runs scored in 21 games. He pitched 32 1/3 innings in nine games, and had a 4-1 record with a 2.59 ERA and 35 strikeouts.
St. Aloysius’ Jay Harper, meanwhile, is The Vicksburg Post’s Coach of the Year. In his second season as the Flashes’ head coach — he was an assistant for seven before that — Harper led them to a 17-14 record and the MAIS District 4-5A championship.
It was St. Al’s first district title since 2014. It also won a playoff series for the first time since 2014, before losing in the second round to Columbia Academy. The Flashes are 29-30 in Harper’s two seasons, after going 10-40 the two years before that. This was their first winning record since 2021.
Congratulations to all on a great season!
