St. Mary’s athletes receive state and regional recognition

Several St. Mary’s Tiger softball and baseball players have earned postseason honors from statewide organizations recognizing their outstanding performances during the 2026 season.

The Louisiana Sports Writers Association named Grace Wren to its Class 1A All-State Softball Team announced Tuesday as a utility player. Lady Tiger teammates Tyonnah Burton and Malorie LaCaze were also recognized, earning honorable mention All-State honors.

On the baseball side, AJ Lavespere was selected to the LSWA Class 1A All-State Baseball Team as an infielder. Fellow Tigers Winn Cedars and Haiden Nelson were honorable mention All-State selections.

The LSWA’s 12-member All-State committee, which has media members from all around Louisiana, considers all first-team all-district players for its All-State teams, which are chosen by position. 

Additional honors were awarded by the Louisiana Baseball Coaches Association (LBCA), which selected Winn Cedars, AJ Lavespere, and Haiden Nelson to its All-Region Team. The Louisiana Softball Coaches Association (LSCA) also recognized two Lady Tigers, naming Tyonnah Burton and Grace Wren to its All-State Team.

These honors are voted on LBCA member coaches from across Louisiana and recognize athletes who have distinguished themselves through their performance, leadership, and contributions to their teams throughout the season.

The recognition reflects another successful year for St. Mary’s athletics and highlights the dedication and hard work demonstrated by these student-athletes both on and off the field.

St. Mary’s congratulates Grace Wren, Tyonnah Burton, Malorie LaCaze, AJ Lavespere, Winn Cedars, and Haiden Nelson on their accomplishments and thanks them for representing the Tigers with pride throughout the season.
