Non-Select Division II

"THE FAVORITES"

#1 Lutcher: The Bulldogs enter the 2024 playoffs as the #1 seed for the second consecutive season, but they are hoping for a different outcome than last year, as their season ended in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs.  Lutcher ended the regular season with an impressive 25-7 overall record, and this is a complete team from top to bottom.  On the mound, the Bulldogs are led by one of the best arms in the state in 2025 RHP Marshall Louque (LSU), who is also one of the team's top hitters, when he's not on the mound.  Their #2, 2024 RHP Quinn Smith (Southeastern Louisiana), has also been stellar this season for the Bulldogs.  Lutcher also has one of the better backstops in the state in 2024 C Caleb Hastings (LSU-Eunice).  The offense doesn't stop with Louque and Hastings either, as the Bulldogs have several veteran guys that are important pieces such as 2024 2B Brock Louque (Nunez CC) and 2024 CF Luke Babin (Nicholls State).  As mentioned above, with the "sour taste" left in the team's mouth from last year's quarterfinal loss, we fully expect for this year's Lutcher team to play with their hair on fire during this year's playoff run.
