According to a note on the back of the photo, the team won the Franklin County tournament that year. The former St. John the Evangelist Parish merged with the former St. Maurice Parish in Decatur County in 2014. St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Decatur County was then formed from the two previous parishes.
