Calvary shortstop and Arkansas signee Ramsey Walker was named the Most Outstanding Player on the LSWA Class 2A All-State softball team and was one of three Lady Cavs selected to the first team announced Thursday.

Walker was a key player in the Lady Cavaliers’ run to a fourth consecutive state title, hitting .583 that included 22 home runs and 65 RBI. It was the second state most outstanding player award for Walker in the last three years, having won the honor on the 1A All-State team in 2022. It’s her fourth time to be named all-state, tying a school record.

Teammate DJ Lynch, who was also named to an all-state team for the fourth straight year, was last year’s top award winner in 2A. Lynch, a Northwestern State signee, hit .617 with 13 home runs and 52 RBI. Lady Cav pitcher Kynzee Anderson is a second-time selection to the team as a sophomore after finishing the season with a 23-2 record and a 1.48 ERA.

Walker and Lynch join Sarah Chamberlain (2014-2017) as the only Lady Cavs to be named all-state four times.

Calvary had three named honorable mention — Baylor Bockhaus, Carlie Guile and Loren Sivils.

Loyola’s Larkin Krieg and Presley Walker were also listed among the honorable mentions.

The Cavaliers landed two on the LSWA Class 2A All-State baseball team. Louisiana Tech signee pitcher Landon Fontenot and centerfielder Hutch Grace were named to the first team.

Fontenot finished with a 6-4 record and a 1.50 ERA. Grace, an Ouachita Baptist football signee, hit .441 with five home runs and 40 RBI.

St. Charles’ Brady St. Pierre earned the baseball All-State Most Outstanding Player award and Oak Grove coach Ty Rollinson was the Coach of the Year.
