2022 LSWA Class 1A All-State Baseball & Softball Teams Announced
BY LAMAR GAFFORD // Written for the LSWA
Whenever Calvary sophomore Ramsey Walker and St. Frederick senior Thomas Marsala stepped to the plate, opposing pitchers knew they were in for a tough out.
Walker and Marsala headline the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 1A All-State softball and baseball teams selected by writers across the state.
Walker was voted the Outstanding Player on the softball squad. She hit .553 with nine home runs and 31 RBIs to lead the Cavaliers to their second straight Division IV title and their fourth championship in the last six state LHSAA tournaments.
Marsala earned Outstanding Player honors on the baseball squad after batting .491 with four home runs and 53 RBIs to help St. Frederick reach the baseball semifinals for the first time since 2003.
Earning Coach of the Year honors were Montgomery softball coach Paige Grayson and Calvary baseball coach Jason Legg.
After losing to Class 5A No. 1 seed Pineville in the second game, Grayson’s Tigers rode a 32-game winning streak to win the Class 1A title — their first title in any sport. Montgomery put three players on the 1A softball squad.
Legg guided the Cavaliers to their first championship since 2019 and fifth overall in his first season at the helm. Calvary placed two players on the team.
