Cecilia’s Dejean earns 4A softball honorable mention

Vandebilt pitchers top softball, baseball lists

A pair of junior aces who led their teams to Division-II Select state championships headlined the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 4A baseball and softball teams, and a Cecilia High School softball standout earned an honorable mention.

Vandebilt Catholic’s Lauren Baudoin and Teurlings Catholic’s Evan Vincent drew top honors in their respective sports.

Cecilia’s Alexis Dejean also was an honorable mention to the Class 4A softball team after helping the Lady Bulldogs earn the No. 20 seed in the Non-Select Division II playoffs and reach the second round of postseason play as the District 5-4A champion.

Dejean signed a scholarship to play softball at Southwest Mississippi Community College this past November.

Baudoin earned an all-state selection for the third straight year after helping lead her Terriers to their third straight title game and second straight championship.

The Nicholls State commit posted a 24-1 record with a 1.10 ERA and 226 strikeouts in the circle, while also batting .380 with three home runs and 29 RBIs.

Vincent’s pitching was similarly critical in his Rebels’ run to their second straight title.

The hometown Ragin’ Cajuns commitment finished his junior season with a 10-0 record, 1.26 ERA and one save and struck out 86 batters in 61 innings of work. He also batted .270 with four doubles, two triples and 23 RBIs.

Rounding out the Class 4A superlatives, North DeSoto swept the Coach of the Year awards — just as its programs swept the Division-II Non-Select championships.

On the softball side, Tim Whitman led his ladies through a pair of opening-weekend losses to a 32-3 overall mark and back to their titlewinning form of 2021, 2022 and 2023 with some critical coaching moves along the way, including a walk-off suicide squeeze in the bottom of the seventh in the final game.

Bo Odom, meanwhile, in his final season at the helm, coached the Griffins to their first baseball championship since 2012.

The North DeSoto boys racked up a 2813 record and upset top-seeded Brusly to complete their run and Odom’s 28-year career, as he announced his retirement days later.
