Pitcher of the Week
 |
Sawyer Pruitt RHP / 1B / Live Oak, LA / 2025Rankings StateRank: 62 / POS: 13
A lot has changed for Sawyer Pruitt since he attended the Jr. Future Games, as a 13 year-old, back in 2020. He's grown probably half a foot and has also grown a lot on the mound this year for Live Oak. The uncommitted right-handed hurler took the ball last Thursday night against St. Michael's, and turned in his best performance of the year, as he tossed a complete game no-hitter with only 2 BB's and 16 K's. Pruitt's stock has been steadily rising over the last few weeks and we expect that to continue, as we move into the second half of the season.

Player of the Week
 |
Trey Hawsey 1B / LHP / West Monroe, LA / 2024We've referred to the duo of Hawsey and our Week 3 Player of the Week John Pearson, as the "bash brothers", so it's only fitting that Hawsey takes home the award this week. The Rebels offense has really gotten its act together over the last couple of weeks, and Hawsey broke out in a big way in Week 4. For the week, he went 7-14 (.500) with 4 HR and 8 RBI, bringing him season home run total up to 8, and we've only just begun district play. The former Future Gamer and Louisiana Tech recruit has firmly cemented himself as one of the most feared hitters in the state of Louisiana.
