The annual Mr. Baseball and Ms. Softball awards will be announced after all seven All-State teams are announced.

Class C All-State Teams:

Claiborne Christian junior Anna Cate Miller and Fairview senior Landon Strother had incredible seasons both on the mound/circle and in the batter’s box.

The two players now headline the Class C all-state baseball and softball teams, as selected by a panel of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.

Miller is the Outstanding Player on the softball squad. She guided Claiborne Christian to a Division V Select state championship in Sulphur with an 18-3 in the circle. Miller also batted .510 with seven home runs and 40 RBIs.

Class B All-State Teams:

For one team, it had only been four years. But for another, it had been since 1994.

Ultimately, Pitkin and Converse won LHSAA Division V titles.

J.C. Holt of Pitkin and Converse’s Chris Brumley were honored as the Class B Coaches of the Year after leading their teams to championships on the baseball and softball teams chosen by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.

Holt, who guided his Tigers to the No. 3 seed in the baseball bracket, fielded a team of underclassmen as Pitkin captured its 13th state baseball championship in school history. First-team all-staters Jaxon Perkins and Issac Longino led Pitkin.

Brumley and Converse won both of its LHSAA softball tournament games in walk-off fashion, including the championship in a nine-inning thriller. Converse was led on the field by a trio of first-team all-staters in Rayni Rivers, Summer Brumley and Avery Prine.

Holden standout Taylor Douglas and Anacoco senior Reid Rodriguez were honored as the Class B Most Valuable Players.

Douglas had another phenomenal softball season for the Rockets as she batted .586 with 23 home runs and 60 RBIs, while also winning 20 games in the circle as she struck out 164 batters in leading her team to the state quarterfinals as a No. 1 seed.

Rodriguez went 7-1 on the season pitching for Anacoco with 89 strikeouts. He also batted .435 with 16 doubles, three home runs, 37 RBIs and 36 runs scored.
