The West Virginia High School Baseball State Tournament will conclude this weekend at Jack Cook Field in Huntington, bringing together the state’s top teams across four classifications. The championship series features four title games that showcase the best of high school baseball in the Mountain State.
Only one of the four No. 1 seeds, George Washington, advanced to the final round, while Ripley, the defending Class AAA champion, defeated Bridgeport 5‑1 to earn a showdown with St. Albans, a program that last captured a state title in 2019 and is eager to end its title drought.
Class AAA: Ripley seeks repeat glory
Ripley’s victory over Bridgeport highlighted a dominant pitching performance that set the stage for a rematch with St. Albans, a team that has built momentum with a win over Shady Spring and now eyes its first championship in seven years.
Class AAAA: A new champion emerges
Morgantown secured its place in the AAAA final by routing last year’s title‑holder Hurricane 7‑0, guaranteeing that a new champion will be crowned in the highest division and adding a fresh storyline to the tournament’s narrative.
Class A and AA: First‑time contenders
In Class A, Gilmer County, aiming for its second state title, will meet Sherman, which is making its first appearance in the tournament since 1990 and hopes to rewrite its recent history. Across the AA bracket, Logan, a perennial powerhouse chasing its tenth championship, faces Frankfort, a team whose most recent crown came in 2024, setting up a clash that could reshape the division’s hierarchy.
With the field set and the stakes higher than ever, fans across West Virginia are poised to witness a weekend of drama, tradition and the emergence of new legends on the diamond at Jack Cook Field.
