2023 Softball Season Starts – Week 1 and 2 Report

The 2023 softball season has started and it is on a fast track to Sulphur.  Local teams have already played tournaments in Logansport, Sam Houston (Lake Charles), Sterlington, Stonewall (North Desoto), Alexandria (Holy Savior Menard), and Leesville.  

The first report of the year is a combined first and second week with achievements of each week.  We’ll keep the tradition of the Hot 9 and Top 3 Pitching Rotation but with a twist.  Too many good performance to just have 9.  We will have a Top Hot 9 and a Next Hot 9.  Also, instead of just having a Top 3 Rotation and now there is a Next 3.  DOUBLE THE AMOUNT of recognized players.  

Some players are already having a stellar season.  Calvary’s Kynzee Anderson has already accumulates 95 strikeouts in the first two weeks of the season.  Logansport’s Ainsley Morvan piled on 16 RBI in her first week of softball.  Simsboro Carlie Wheeler not only had the hot bat but was fire on the mound.  Wheeler was 7 for 7 for the second week with three triples and 9 RBI.  She also struck out 21.

Next week will be a one weeker.  Come back for more in depth softball coverage.
