Junior Aubrey Snell (Shreveport, La.) was named to the 2025-26 Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) All-Louisiana Men's College Golf team, the organization announced on Wednesday.
SHREVEPORT– Junior Aubrey Snell (Shreveport, La.) was named to the 2025-26 Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) All-Louisiana Men's College Golf team, the organization announced on Wednesday.
The LSWA announced its Men's and Women's Golf All-Louisiana Teams on Wednesday, honoring Malan Potgieter of Louisiana (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and Francesca Fiorellini of LSU as the men's and women's Players of the Year. LSU swept the Coach of the Year awards as Jake Amos won on the men's side and Garrett Runion on the women's side.
Ten total men were recognized on either the First Team or Second Team, while five golfers made up the women's All-Louisiana squad - just a First Team, no Second Team. Snell was joined on the second team by ULM's Louis Anceaux, LSU's Noah McWilliams, Tom Watson of UNO, and LSU's Árni Sveinsson.
The men's first team was comprised of Potgieter, LSU's Dan Hayes, David Marsh of Southeastern Louisiana, and two more LSU players – Jay Mendell and Matty Dodd-Berry. Hayes was also recognized as the Freshman of the Year.
Snell is the first Centenary golfer to be named All-Louisiana since former Gent Andrew Bennett earned First-Team honors in 2024 and earned the prestigious honor for the first time in his career.
Snell turned in another impressive season as he tallied four top-10 finishes and finished in the top 15 five times. He also had one top-three finish and season-low round was a 69. Snell competed in seven tournaments (16 rounds) and posted a season stroke average of 73.6. He earned a top-25 finish in the conference championships as he shot an 8-over 188 to tie for 23rd.
The 2025-26 LSWA All-Louisiana Men's and Women's Golf teams were selected by a statewide vote of school sports information directors.
