WELSH — After being homeschooled for five years, one may find transitioning back into public school overwhelming. For Barrett Freeland, a freshman at Welsh High School, that was not the case. While maintaining a 4.0 GPA, taking home top finishes in track, being involved in Trail Life, playing football, and competing in shooting sports, Freeland flourished and was even named the 2021-22 WAR Jr. High Student of the Year. Freeland explained being home schooled was challenging as his mom pushed him hard and credits this ethic with his seemly effortless ability to excel in the classroom.

HATHAWAY – To say basketball is a way of life for recently graduated Hathaway High School standout Chloey Guidry would be an understatement. For the past six seasons at the school, Guidry has wowed basketball enthusiasts from all around with her ability to score at a premium and showcase her talents for all to see. Those talents ultimately led Guidry to receive a basketball scholarship to Mississippi Women’s University (MUW) in Columbus, Ms. In her senior season, Guidry eclipsed a whopping 3,000 career point total for her career at Hathaway High School. She earned almost every individual recognition possible in the state of Louisiana throughout her career at the school, yet like most players from there, she pointed to something else that meant the most to her about her time at Hathaway High School.
