LACASSINE — Over the past five years, Lacassine’s Giselle Fuentes has turned herself into one of the top high school softball players in Southwest Louisiana. Only five years into the program being started in Lacassine, Fuentes helped guide the Lady Cardinals all the way to the Class B quarterfinals in 2022, a mere game away from the state tournament in Sulphur. The slugging senior put up gaudy numbers in her senior campaign at the plate, hitting an even .500 with 13 homeruns and found her name on All-District, All-State and All Southwest Louisiana teams. She was ultimately voted Jeff Davis Parish’s Hitter of the Year before taking her talents to Northeast Texas Community College (NETC) next season. Fuentes is the second catcher in Lacassine history to sign a college scholarship after Haylie Hoffpauir signed at Millsaps College. Fuentes discussed what having Hoffpauir meant to her and her how she pushed her to become a better ball player.
