A message from the Commissioner about Playoffs

As we enter the playoff season for our competitive leagues, we encourage all coaches, parents and players to behave cordially towards one another. Sometimes we let our emotions overcome our civility and good sportsmanship. Work hard to make sure that person is not you. Please remember all we do is done so families can enjoy a competitive summer environment, but remain friends. Cheer for your child’s team, not against the other team. Coaches share the facilities fairly. Coaches play within the spirit of our rules, not the legal letter. Don’t look for “gotcha” opportunities or rules disputes. Address these concerns before they become issues on the fields. As always if you have any questions please contact your coordinators or Commissioner Norman Mott.

Nine year old select team wins Carrollton Tournament over July 4th week-end

The Seven-Year Old Travel Team wrapped up its summer with a runner up finish at the rain shortened Harahan Tournament. Carrollton, 2nd seeded in the Tournament after Saturday play, only played one Sunday game before the weather forced the cancellation of the remainder of the Tournament.

Coaches pictured (L to R) are: Roger May, Gerald Duhon, Ken Milvid, Chris Moore, and Jonathan Robert.

For the season, the team finished 17-9-1 including winning its last 10 games. Competing in seven Tournaments, Carrollton won three (PAC, Carrollton and Lakeview) and finished runner-up at a fourth (Harahan).


The Carrollton Blue 7-year old Tournament Team won the 28th Lakeview Playground Tournament July 9th and 10th with a perfect 4-0 record that included two come from behind, bottom of the last winning hits against the host Vikings. In Saturday's second seeding game, Arch Manning's 3-run walk off home run gave Carrollton a one-run win and the 2nd seed. Matched up again Sunday against Lakeview, Parker Peyronnin capped a furious 5-run rally by singling home Alex Curchin with two out for the game winner. It was the second week in a row Curchin scored the winning run in a Tournament game. The victory pushed Carrollton into the Finals where they defeated PAC in a rain shortened game. The Tournament title is the third for the team this summer. Coaches pictured (left to right): Cooper Manning, Derryck Curchin, Gerald Duhon, Chris Moore, Roger May, Evan Duhon, and Jonathan Robert.


The Carrollton 7-Year Old Blue Tournament Team won the July 2-3 Carrollton Classic in dramatic fashion. Lee Bridgewater singled home Alex Curchin in the bottom of the last inning for the walk off winner - a 13-12 victory over the Central Lafourche Trojans. This was the team's second Tournament win to go with PAC's Baseball on the River Tournament Title in June.

Later, after you have completed the registration, return to our web site and click on the “sponsor form” tab in order to submit your sponsor info. Your sponsorship will be attached to your child’s team unless you specify otherwise. If you have any questions, please contact Rini Marcus at

A message from the Commissioner of Baseball

Carrollton Baseball anticipates an exciting season in 2011 We encourage all players to register early. We will make every effort to provide a place on a team to every child registered. This commitment is wholly dependent upon our volunteer coaches and sponsors. Carrollton Boosters is a volunteer organization, and we need the help of those in a position to coach, sponsor and underwrite our scholarship program. Please be generous with your time and money.

Any player or family who cannot afford our registration fee is eligible for consideration for a scholarship. All inquiries should be directed to Alan Godchaux, (861-1473 or 352-8290), or the Commissioner of the sport involved. 

Our Booster Club has over the years developed rules of conduct and rules of play that are carefully thought out to encourage sportsmanship within a competitive environment. Please review these rules which will be posted on our web site soon. As Commissioner of Baseball I am responsible for the overall operation of the baseball program under the guidelines set down by the Booster Club Board. If you have any suggestions or concerns about our baseball program I encourage you to contact me (866-1329) or Baseball@carrolltonboosters.org.
