The Louisiana Sports Writers Association has unveiled its Class C All-state softball and baseball teams, a roster that reflects a striking surge of underclass talent across the state.
MVP Moments Define the Season
Brooklyn Hebert, an eighth‑grader from Northside Christian, earned the softball Most Valuable Player honor after batting .486 with six homers and 38 RBIs, guiding her squad to the Class C state championship. Her teammates Izabella Bertrand and Rylee Hernandez also earned all‑state nods.
In baseball, sophomore Rylan Davis of Claiborne Christian was crowned MVP after posting a 3.40 earned run average and a .353 batting average, a combination that propelled the team to a state title game appearance.
Coaches Honored
Coaches Jade Losavio and Joshua Uchtmann were named Coaches of the Year. Losavio led Simpson to the state semifinals, toppling fourth‑seeded Summerfield and fifth‑ranked Ebarb, while Uchtmann steered Claiborne Christian to the championship match, defeating top‑ranked Maurepas.
The selections underscore a broader trend: 24 of the 32 first‑team honorees are underclassmen, signaling a deep well of emerging talent that will likely shape Louisiana’s sports landscape for years to come.
