University softball bows out of 2025 state tournament with 5-1 defeat to Jefferson
SOUTH CHARLESTON – The University High School softball team saw its 2025 season come to a close in the WVSSAC state softball tournament at Little Creek Park on Saturday morning with a 5-1 defeat to Jefferson in an elimination game to kick off Day 2 of action. The Cougars used a strong outing in the circle from Jersey Rummel and some sound defense behind her to stifle the Hawks' normally potent offense and earn their way into the Class AAAA championship series later this afternoon against Cabell Midland. 'We just didn't get the hits we needed when we needed them,' MHS head coach Mindy Parks said. 'It was a very situational game, and things just didn't go our way. It happens that way sometimes, and we know that.' Eight hits yielded only one run as the Hawks stranded eight runners on base. Three of those hits came in the top of the first inning as it seemed UHS had momentum early, loading the bases with only one out. Lexi Elza hit a bouncer to the pitcher that allowed Maddie Campbell to score the game's opening run, but the Hawks wouldn't cross the plate again in the contest. A four-run third inning gave Jefferson the boost it needed to take control and never look back in a key postseason matchup against University High School. The Cougars strung together five consecutive hits to open the third, starting with a run-scoring double from Brooke Allen. Grace Dodson and Savannah Smith followed with RBI singles, and Caroline Abe capped the rally with a sacrifice fly to center, giving Jefferson a 4–1 lead. From that point on, Rummel settled in, allowing just one hit per inning from the second through the sixth. With a comfortable lead behind her, she pitched confidently, trusting her defense. Jefferson added another run in the sixth when Ainsley Phillips led off with a triple and scored on Madison Clark's double, giving Rummel a four-run cushion to finish the final two frames. The Cougars finished with 13 hits, led by Allen, who went 3-for-4. Rummel, Smith, and Clark each had two hits. For UHS, Sophia Lehosit allowed four runs over two innings, while Maddie Campbell delivered five strong innings in relief, giving up just one run on five hits. University High, last year's Class AAA state champion, ended the season 24-7-1. A tough 6–5 loss to Cabell Midland on Friday night pushed them into the losers' bracket, making their path back to the title an uphill battle. 'We know what it's like to be in the winner's bracket, and we said last night this is going to be hard,' said head coach Parks. 'We didn't get in bed until midnight, and then we're up early, but that's just part of the game. Yesterday was a very long day for everybody.' UHS will say goodbye to a lone senior in Kelsey Park, whose impact will be missed, but will return key players on the team next season as the Hawks aim to return to Little Creek Park to fight for a state championship. 'We'll be back,' Parks said. 'I'm confident in that. These girls will be hungry next season.

Fundraising underway for the Ed Daniels Scholarship at Archbishop Rummel
METAIRIE, La. — Archbishop Rummel is honoring late WGNO Sports Director Ed Daniels by creating a scholarship in his name. 'We talk a lot about faith, community, and service here at Rummel, and Ed embodied all three of those things. So, with the help of his good friend Ken Trahan, the Advancement Department has worked with Ken to put together this scholarship opportunity to help Ed's legacy continue,' said Archbishop Rummel Head of School Matthew Caire. Tonight, the school hosted the Ed Daniels Memorial Scholarship Event. Several popular business and sports leaders throughout the New Orleans metro area gathered at the Metairie campus to celebrate the life and legacy of Ed and donate to the scholarship. 'I think it's a testimony to his lifetime of work and service and what he did for so many people at this event tonight. You're going to find people from all the rival schools, and they're contributing to this fund. Why? Because they loved him and they understood just how special he was,' said Owner/CEO of Crescent City Sports Ken Trahan. Ed's best friend, Ken Trahan, and Archbishop Rummel are working hand-in-hand to raise $250,000 to make the scholarship possible for future Raiders. For more donation information, click here. 'The scholarship is going to go to a student who otherwise couldn't afford Catholic education. Because that was important to Ed. Ed worked tirelessly with us, with our celebrity waiters' dinner every year, to help raise money for students who otherwise would not be able to afford Catholic education,' added Caire.
