The stage is set for an electrifying showdown in Louisiana high school softball as Calvary Baptist Academy takes on Parkview Baptist for the LHSAA Select Division III state championship. This Sunday afternoon clash promises high stakes and even higher drama, with the Cavaliers not only chasing state glory but also eyeing a potential national title.
Calvary Baptist, hailing from Shreveport, enters the game as the No. 2 ranked team in the latest MaxPreps national rankings. They trail only the Barbers Hills Eagles of Texas, whose playoff run extends for several more weeks. A state championship victory would keep the Cavaliers in prime position for national accolades, though the final rankings won't be determined until later in the season.
The championship was originally slated for Saturday, but inclement weather across Louisiana pushed the entire state tournament back by a day. First pitch is now scheduled for 1 p.m. EST/12 p.m. CST local time, giving fans an extra day of anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling contest.
For those looking to catch the action live, the game will be streamed on the NFHS Network. Early updates from the field show a tense start: both teams came up empty in the first inning, with the score tied at 0-0 heading into the bottom of the opening frame. Calvary Baptist also failed to score in the first, keeping the game scoreless as we move to the second inning.
With a state championship on the line and national recognition within reach, every pitch matters. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love great softball, this is a game you won't want to miss. Stay tuned for live results, scores, and highlights as the Cavaliers and Parkview Baptist battle for Louisiana supremacy.
