White was the lone survivor in LaSalle’s extreme athletics makeover, guiding the Olla-based school to the Division IV nonselect state championship with a 1-0 victory over Oak Grove in nine innings.

On the other 364 days of the year Catholic High’s offense might not have experienced such a show of power. But with the wind blowing out of Catholic’s Grizzly Field, and a 10th consecutive trip to Sulphur on the line, the top-seeded Bears turned their version of Home Run Derby into a 16-6, 9-3 sweep of fourth-seeded St. Thomas More in Saturday’s Division I select state semifinal best-of-3 series. “Today our guys took advantage,” Brad Bass said of 12 mph winds blowing out.

Pruitt, a UL signee, tried to downplay the suggestion, choosing to focus on giving his Eagles a leg up in the best-of-three series against visiting Benton. Pruitt, a 6-foot-6, hard-throwing right-hander, delivered a performance fitting for his dominant senior season.

Even an uncharacteristic start from Dutchtown pitcher Abby Froelich in Tuesday’s Division I nonselect state softball playoffs was still good enough for the Griffins to advance. Froelich overcame a rocky beginning before the senior right-hander settled down over the final four innings, and No. 3 Dutchtown strung together six runs in the middle of the game for a 7-1 victory over No. 14 Central at Dutchtown. “It was more mental,” Froelich said. “(It’s) the playoff nerves.

After a 5-0 loss in Saturday's first game Hebert gathered his teammates with an emphatic message. “I told them we weren’t going home today,” Hebert said.
