The Lions earned it.

The West Linn baseball team won the Three Rivers League for the third straight year and took the second seed into the 2025 Class 6A state playoffs.

While West Linn fell short in its bid for a fourth straight state championship – the Lions got upset by No. 18 South Medford in the second playoff round – they were honored big-time in the 2025 all-state selections.

Lions were honored at six spots on all-state teams, with Carson Boyer, Danny Wideman and Caden Klouda all earning first-team nods.

Other Lions honored were Maverick Harper, Hank Curdy and Klouda again.

Lakeridge’s Andrew Ha was the only other area player selected after winning a berth on the honorable mention team as an outfielder.
