Maggie Guyotte of Quitman High School will play softball for Louisiana Tech University next spring. The daughter of Brian and Paula Guyotte of Quitman, LA, made it official when she signed her letter of intent in front of family, friends, and the QHS student body in a special signing ceremony on Thursday, December 4th, in the Quitman High School gymnasium. 

“I am very happy for her,” said QHS head softball coach Justin Dodson. “She has been instrumental to our success and is very deserving of the opportunity to continue her career at Tech.”

One of the premier offensive forces in the state, Guyotte has helped lead Quitman to three state championship appearances, including winning back-to-back state championships over the last two years.  

Guyotte has earned Offensive MVP honors at Quitman High School in each of her last three seasons while also being a three-time, first-team, All-District and All-State selection. She is also the record holder at Quitman and in Jackson Parish, for single-season home runs (21) and career home runs, where she has compiled 58 “round trippers” with still one more season to play. 

“Maggie is a strong, left-handed hitting corner infielder who plays with toughness and pride,” said Louisiana Tech Softball Coach Josh Taylor. “Coming from right here in Quitman, she understands what Louisiana Tech Softball is all about — family, hard work, and competing for something bigger than yourself. We’re proud to keep this local talent close to home and can’t wait to watch Maggie grow into a difference-maker in our program.”
