Been meaning to post this, but I wanted to give an update on what our Bayou Thunder girls have accomplished over the last few weekends.

🏆 On May 30/31, the girls battled their way to a Tournament Championship, playing some outstanding softball and competing hard every game.

🔥 On June 6/7, we attended a showcase event where our athletes had the opportunity to perform in front of college coaches. Several players received interest from programs and had opportunities to speak with coaches about their future. That’s what these showcase weekends are all about.

🥈 Then on June 13/14, the girls continued their strong play and fought their way to a Runner-Up finish, advancing all the way to the championship game after an impressive weekend against quality competition.

📊 Over these two tournament weekends:
• Tournament Champions and Tournament Runner-Up
• Nearly 90 runs scored
• Multiple home runs and extra-base hits
• Aggressive base running and stolen bases
• Undefeated through bracket play on June 13/14
• Championship game appearance
• Continued college exposure and recruiting opportunities

While the wins, trophies, and stats are great, what makes me most proud is the growth of this team. These girls continue to work hard, compete the right way, support one another, and represent Bayou Thunder with class on and off the field.

A huge thank you to our parents, families, sponsors, and supporters. None of these opportunities happen without you, and we appreciate everything you do for these athletes.

We want to send a huge thank you to the LSU E Bengals Softball coaches for taking the time to work with our girls today. Your knowledge, encouragement, and dedication to helping them improve their skills and understanding of the game truly meant a lot.

The girls had an amazing experience and learned so much. We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to work together. Thank y’all again — we absolutely loved it!

What a weekend!! Bayou Thunder 18U finished our final fall tournament as Champions, closing out the season with a HUGE statement and bringing home 1st place! 🔥

Our girls came ready to compete all weekend and stacked up big wins including a 16-0 run-rule, an 8-7 comeback victory, and finishing strong against Team Louisiana Theriot with a 10-3 win!

This group kept fighting, stayed locked-in, and played their brand of aggressive softball from pitch one. So many big performances up and down the lineup—clutch hitting, shutdown pitching, and pressure on the bases all weekend long. Proud is an understatement. 💙⚡️

Thank you parents, families, coaches, and supporters for pushing with us all fall—y’all are part of this journey just as much as these athletes.

Bayou Thunder 18U had a special opportunity this past Saturday, taking on Louisiana Christian University and getting a true taste of the college game under the eye of Coach Mattie Stines.

Thunder held their own in a tough 4-2 battle. Kamoree Childs and Zariah Hicks sparked the offense in the fourth to grab a brief lead, while Saylor Fitch delivered two solid innings in the circle. Childs, Hicks, Ainsley Loftin, Aubrie Bertrand, and Megan Gafford each picked up hits, and the defense turned a double play to keep things tight.

More than the score, the experience was about growth and exposure. Facing LCU showed our girls the speed, skill, and intensity of the next level — an invaluable step on their journey

Thank you again Coach Stines and LCU!!!
Looking forward to next time.
