Anticipating bad weather in southwest Louisiana Friday, the LHSAA has decided to push back the state softball semifinals and finals in Sulphur to a Saturday-Sunday schedule.

Calvary’s bid for a sixth straight state title will begin on Field 14 at the North Frasch Softball Complex Saturday at noon against fourth-seeded district rival D’Arbonne Woods. The Lady Cavaliers (35-1) posted a 5-3 regular-season road win March 31 over the Lady Timberwolves (21-11).

In the other semifinal, also at noon, third-seeded Notre Dame takes on No. 2 Parkview Baptist, which lost a one-run decision in last year’s state finals to Calvary.

The championship game is Sunday at noon on Field 17.
