Two title game MVPs collected Outstanding Player honors for the ¶¶Òõh Sports Writers Association’s Class 3A all-state teams.

Doyle’s Kylee Savant and Miller Sheets of Sterlington were named the softball and baseball teams outstanding players.

In softball, Savant garnered the accolade after hitting .434 with a .598 on-base percentage. The Houston signee recorded 14 homers, 12 doubles and 60 RBIs. She also stole 15 bases during Doyle’s state championship year. Savant hit a grand slam in a semifinal victory over No. 1 Kaplan and knocked in three runs in Doyle’s 4-3 victory over Jena in the nonselect Division III final.

The first year of best-of-three state championship series for certain classifications in baseball allowed Sheets ample opportunities to show why he’s one of the top prospects in the state. In a winner-take-all Game 3 against Erath, Sheets broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run single, propelling his team to a 5-3 win in the nonselect Division III state championship.

The Baylor commitment boasted a .435 average with three homers, 23 doubles and 57 RBIs. He only struck out four times this year. He is the son of former St. Amant High star and Major League Baseball pitcher Ben Sheets.

Doyle’s Kyle Wieck and Erath’s Jeremy Picard collected Class 3A coach of the year honors.

Wieck led his team past last year’s state champion Sterlington in the quarterfinals before upsetting No. 1 Kaplan, 13-3, and earning an opportunity to play for a state title. Doyle defeated Jena 4-3 to earn the school’s first state championship in softball since 2018.

Making school history helped Picard to take the top coaching honor in baseball. Erath’s coach was unsuccessful in wrestling a state title away from Sterlington this season, but his Bobcats made the school’s first appearance in the state finals in baseball. Erath finished with a 26-13 record.
