Talk about going out in style! In the final regular season game of her tremendous career, Maggie Guyotte of Quitman High School hit two home runs in two at-bats, drove in 5 runs, and scored 4 more, both season bests, to help lift QHS to a resounding 14-4 victory over Division I Alexandria Senior High.
More importantly, the two hits gave Guyotte a total of 300 for her illustrious career, earning the Louisiana Tech University signee the distinction of being the only player in LHSAA history and only the 7th player in the entire nation to reach the incredible plateau, according to National Federation High School records.
Adding to her record-setting achievements, the five runs batted in gave the prolific offensive talent a career total of 270 RBI, spanning 2021-26, also the best all-time in Louisiana high school softball history and 5th overall in the nation’s annals.
Want more? Her 13th and 14th home runs of the 2026 season give Guyotte a career total of 72, good for second place all-time in Louisiana, trailing only the 80 hit by Marci Bergeron of Notre Dame Crowley (2019-22) and 13th place all-time in the nation.
Guyotte will have the opportunity to add to her already incredible statistics as Quitman has qualified for the LHSAA 2026 Class B postseason, where she hopes to lead the Lady Wolverines to a third straight state title.
While the 2026 playoff brackets have not yet been released, the District 1B champion Lady Wolverines, who finished the regular season with a 21-9 overall record, have not only certainly qualified for the 20-team Class B bracket but will receive a first-round bye and host second and third round contests by virtue of their #2 ranking.
Jonesboro-Hodge and Weston both look to have fallen short in their quest for the “Dash to Frasch,” which is what the 2026 state tournament is fondly called after annually being held at Frash Park in Sulphur, LA. The Lady Tigers, who doubled their win total from a year ago, finished the season with a 4-14 mark and ranked #35, with only the top 26 teams qualifying for the Division IV playoffs, while Weston (8-18) ended the year at #21 in the LHSAA power rankings with the top 20 teams qualifying for the Class B playoffs.
