Port Neches-Groves classmates Carter Henry and Ryan Leckich were named honorable mention 5A All-State baseball players by the Texas Sports Writers Association.
The honorable mention lists were released Monday. The association announced its first- through third-team players last week via The Associated Press.
Henry was drafted in the 40th round by the Boston Red Sox in June as a pitcher, but he also spent time at third base and shortstop. Henry is honoring his commitment to the University of Houston.
He batted .407 with a home run in helping PNG win its second straight District 22-5A championship, according to statistics on MaxPreps.
Leckich, a left-handed pitcher who signed with Baylor in November, is a Rawlings-Perfect Game Honorable Mention All-American.
West Orange-Stark placed two on the honorable mention 4A All-State list: senior Payton Robertson and junior Jack Dallas. Robertson has signed with Lamar.
