His appearance on the All-State team made it four years in a row that South has placed a player among the state's elite. Joey Bower (2012) and Kenny Hall (2010 and 2011) share that honor with Bigos.
The Gators began league playoffs in a best of three series against Highland Park. The first game was Sunday, and the Gators beat Highland Park 7-1. The teams face each other again tonight for game two.
