Basketball history was made in Class 4A in 2024-25 by multiple teams with Wossman, Archbishop Hannan and Vandebilt Catholic leading the way. Now the same schools headline the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 4A All-State teams.
Drew Timmons of Division II select champion Archbishop Hannan was selected as the Outstanding Player on the LSWA boys squad, while Wossman’s Anyra Wilson garnered Outstanding Player recognition on the girls side after leading her team to a Division II nonselect title.
Vandebilt Catholic coach Jerwaski Coleman netted girls Coach of the Year honors, while Wossman’s Casey Jones earned his first coach of the year honor in roughly a decade.
Wilson averaged 13.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game for a Wossman girls squad that dominated opponents, winning playoff games by an average of 44 points. It was fourth straight state championship for the WHS girls, making them the first team in Ouachita Parish to accomplish that feat since 1936-39.
Timmons, already voted the Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year, averaged 21.4 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while leading Hannan to a second Division II select title in four years.
Meanwhile, Wossman’s Jones netted boys Coach of the Year honors after his team won a second straight state championship with a team that featured three new starters. WHS became the first boys basketball program from Ouachita Parish to win back-to-back state titles.
Vandebilt Catholic won the Division II select girls title, the school’s first title since 2010, with Coleman claiming Coach of the Year honors for the girls.
VCHS’ championship run came one year after the school forfeited an LHSAA tourney berth due to an academically ineligible reserve player. The Terriers also overcame injuries to key players on their route to the Division II select girls crown.
