Top 25 Louisiana High School Softball State Rankings

There is a flurry of activity this week in the Louisiana High School on SI Top 25 softball rankings. Walker climbs to the No. 1 spot after Calvary Baptist lost to West Monroe. Vandebilt Catholic dropped three games but remains the favorite to win Division II select for the third straight year.

Walker's stint could be short-lived. The Wildcats face a surging John Curtis Christian team that - no surprise - is peaking at the right time.

Why didn't West Monroe jump Calvary Baptist? Because while last week's results were very important, that's also a snapshot of the entire season. With that in mind, it was a tough decision to move down the Cavaliers, who have played a lot of games and handled many good teams.

1. Walker (23-3)

Previous ranking: 3

Walker has won 13 straight games entering the regular season finale today vs. John Curtis. Last week, the Wildcats run-ruled previously ranked Archbishop Hannan 12-2. Harlee Usry hit a two-run homer. Alexis Pitre threw five innings in relief to get the win in the circle. Walker also blanked defending Division III nonselect champion Doyle 15-0.

2. Calvary Baptist (32-1)

Previous ranking: 1

Calvary Baptist bounced back from a loss to West Monroe with wins over Class B No. 1 Stanley and Airline. Kynzee Anderson threw a two-hitter with 16 strikeouts and one walk in the 2-0 win over Stanley. Catcher Mallory Carver had a hit and scored a run. Anderson belted a solo homer.

3. Sam Houston (26-3)

Previous ranking: 4

Ten consecutive wins for the reigning Division I nonselect champions. Last week, the Broncos scored 50 runs in four wins, including a 9-4 victory over St. Amant. Aubrie Portie walked three times and hit a two-run homer. Sam Houston concludes the regular season on Tuesday vs. district rival Barbe, which debuts in the rankings this week.

4. Pineville (24-9)

Previous ranking: 14

Chelsie Simpson outdueled Jena ace pitcher Kiette Cooper in a 4-1 win, homering to help her cause. Simpson allowed one earned run and struck out eight while spinning a three-hitter. Jadin Basco had an RBI double. Kate Herron produced three hits with a double. The Rebels are No. 2 in the Division I select power ratings behind Mount Carmel.

5. West Monroe (23-8)

Previous ranking: 15

Ava and Evie West have been Calvary Baptist's kryptonite. Last season, the sisters teamed up to lead Sterlington to a win over the Cavaliers', the south Shreveport juggernaut's only loss. Now at West Monroe, The West tandem paced the Rebels to a 3-2 win over Calvary Baptist last week. Evie West and nine-hole hitter Aubree Norl each homered. Evie West pitched 5.1 innings and gave up one earned run. Ava West pitched 1.2 innings of shutout relief, allowing one run with two strikeouts. West Monroe's last loss was to Pineville.

6. Lutcher (20-6)

Previous ranking: 8

Lutcher is our top ranked team in Division II select. The Bulldogs are No. 2 in the LHSAA power ratings behind North DeSoto, which it defeated for the crown two years ago (and lost in last year's semifinal matchup). Last week, Lutcher won games vs. Academy of Our Lady, St. Charles Catholic and Chalmette by a combined score of 31-2. Blair Clement pitched a four-hitter with nine strikeouts vs. Chalmette. Reece Clement had three hits (HR) and three RBIs. Colbie Mitchell also homered.

7. Mount Carmel (21-5)

Previous ranking: 9

Hayden Traub and the Cubs have held the top spot in the Division I select power ratings for quite some time. Mount Carmel went 4-0 last week and beat previously ranked Hahnville 5-2. Paige Reuther allowed one earned run and struck out five. At the plate, she homered twice. Last year, Mount Carmel lost Reuther to injury before the playoffs but still reached the semifinals with a pitcher-by-committee approach.

CUBS STAY HOT — 13-0 RUN RULE WIN!! 🔥🐾

The Cubs kept the bats rolling in dominant fashion, run ruling Sacred Heart 13-0 behind another explosive offensive performance. The lineup combined for 14 hits on 28 at-bats, continuing their red-hot stretch.

8. Jena (24-4)

Previous ranking: 7

Our favorite to win Division III nonselect, the Giants are also No. 1 in the LHSAA power ratings.

Callie Decker, Triniti Williams and Kiette Cooper each homered in the 10-0 win over D3 select No. 5 Sterlington.

9. Vandebilt Catholic (25-3)

Previous ranking: 2

This might be the first time a program has lost three games in a week and stayed in the top 25. Vandebilt Catholic remains in the top 10 after losses to Destrehan, St. Joseph's and St. Michael. Why? The Terriers are still the heavy favorite to win Division II select, although district rival E.D. White is a formidable opponent (lost 4-0 to VC earlier). Also, Vandebilt Catholic rebounded by winning its last game 7-1 over ranked Parkview Baptist. Lauren Baudoin struck out 12. Lexi Matherne and Abby Aguillard each doubled twice: Aleiya Callais tripled.

11. John Curtis Christian (18-10)

Previous ranking: not ranked

In the least surprising news category, the Patriots are playing well as they get ready to defend their Division I select championship. Curtis has won seven straight games with a huge victory over E.D. White last week. Leigha Carter, the leadoff hitter, had two hits with a double and scored three runs in the 11-6 win over the Cardinals.

12. E.D. White (23-4)

25. Stanley (23-5)
