Battle of the Badges: Firefighters vs. law enforcement
Sat, 03/16/2024 - 12:15pm
Saturday was high noon for horseshoe pitchers from St. Mary's first responder community.
Teams representing the parish's fire departments and law enforcement agencies squared off in the annual Battle of the Badges, the fourth such event staged by the Bayou Horseshoe Pitchers Association at Kemper Williams Park near Patterson.
The firefighters won the traveling trophy in 2023, but law enforcement had a 2-1 edge in the series going into Saturday.
Newly installed Sheriff Gary Driskell and Berwick Assistant Police Chief JP Henry threw the ceremonial first shoes. Driskell's landed squarely on the peg.
