Winnfield Senior High School graduate and baseball standout Canyon Compton has been named as an All-State player for District 3 which consists of all 2A and 3A schools in Louisiana.  

He played primarily third base and played shortstop when Jake Hemphill pitched.  Compton was categorized as Utility Player in the All-State listing.

Compton received a scholarship to South Arkansas College in El Dorado where he plays third base for the SouthArk Stars.

“His strength was his work ethic,” says WSHS coach Damion Herron.  “He was a very hard working athlete, putting in time on and off the field. He is also working to perfecting his craft. Canyon is one of the best hitters I have ever coached.”
