With all four District 29-6A baseball teams having been eliminated from the post season playoffs including the Laredo United Longhorns the lone remaining team who were eliminated in the Region IV final round in two straight at the hands of the San Antonio Johnson Jaguars, Eagle Pass Sports Central has been authorized by Eagle Pass Eagles head baseball coach Reynol Mendoza to announce the prestigious 2016 District 29-6A baseball all-district selections as chosen by the respective district head baseball coaches during the annual post regular season meeting.

The Eagle Pass Eagles who finished third in the district race are well represented in this year’s elite all-district baseball team starting with young talented freshmen pitcher/outfielder Rey Rey Mendoza who was voted the 2016 District 29-6A’s Newcomer of the Year by the respective district head baseball coaches.  The Eagles also earned five berths on the all-district first including three unanimous choices.  Selected unanimously were senior pitcher Tony Galvan who defeated every team in the district this season, Four year standout first baseman Mando Lopez who has owned and terrorized the opposing pitchers for the last four years and utility player Jorge Rodriguez. Also selected to the all-district first team were stellar outfielder Olexis Gutierrez and second baseman Dee Andre Torres.

Eagles’ catcher Alan Rodriguez was selected to the all-district second team while designated hitter Eriq Gomez and shortstop Sergio Soliz earned a spot on the honorable mention squad.  Senior outfielder Erykk Fuentes earned a berth on the prestigious All-Academic squad.
