The LSU baseball team will have its first full squad workout of the week today. It’s final exam week, so the Tigers haven’t been on the practice field as much. LSU begins a three-game series against South Carolina tomorrow. These are two schools that were ranked in the preseason top 5, but the Gamecocks have lost five straight SEC series. LSU is 13-8 in league play and they still have a chance at finishing with the best overall record in the league.

In action tonight…Arkansas is at Tennessee, while Texas A-and-M hosts Mississippi State. The Bulldogs and Auburn lead the SEC West with 14-7 records.

Ole Miss defeated ULM five to three last night to sweep a midweek series from the Warhawks. ULM is 12-34 overall and they’ll get ready to host the defending national champs Coastal Carolina in a three-game series that begins tomorrow.

Also this weekend, the Ragin Cajuns host Georgia Southern, while Southeastern faces Sam Houston State.

Guard Kieran Hayward posted on Twitter that he’s leaving the LSU men’s basketball program. The Tigers roster was one above the scholarship limit, so someone had to go. Hayward is a native of Australia and he averaged just one point a game.

Shreveport native Sam Burns was voted Southeastern Conference golfer of the year by the league’s coaches. Burns is the fifth player in school history to achieve such an honor. Burns is ranked as the second best player in the country as the team heads into NCAA regional play.

The LHSAA state and track field meet gets underway today at LSU’s Bernie Moore Track Stadium. Today it will be Class B and Class C schools.

The baseball playoffs have reached quarterfinal action. Today in Class One-A, Oak Grove takes on Grand Lake and Varnado travels to Delhi Charter. 26th seeded Block also visits Oberlin.

On the Select side…in division one, top-seeded John Curtis begins its best of three series with Evangel.
