Melissa Mayeux new LCA Softball coach

[cajun_lannister]

We would like to introduce Coach Melissa Mayeux to the Knight family!! Coach Mayeux will be our new varsity softball coach!!

Melissa was born and raised in Paris until the age of 14. At 14 years old she was accepted into one of the only two baseball academies in France. Then at the early age of 16 years old she became the first woman to be eligible to get drafted by Major League Baseball team.

At 17 years old Mayeux got a scholarship to go play softball in Miami at Miami Dade College. She played there for 2 years and then transferred to UL and played for the Ragin Cajuns Softball team.

Last season she was named Sun Belt player of the year and played professional softball for the Vipers in the WPF.

Coach Mayeux says that she has always been so passionate about helping others and using softball as a means to help her team to become better players but mainly better individuals in life is a blessing.

Welcome to the KNIGHT family coach!!

Wait...you're not JMV with the scoop?

MM lived in the neighborhood when she first transferred from Miami. There was never a time when we passed by her house that she wasn't working on something. Totally dedicated to the game.

This is a grand slam hire for LCA.

Congrats to Melissa! LCA is getting a very dedicated and hard worker. Glad to see her sticking around the area.

LCA will now have former UL players coaching their boys basketball team (Jacob Broussard), baseball team (Austin Robichaux), and softball team (Melissa Mayeaux). And a former UL women’s basketball coach (Errol Rogers) coaching their girls basketball team. Also, the former boys basketball coach (Byron Starks) that Jacob Broussard replaced.

You also have the most exciting player on the Cajuns men’s basketball team (Greg Williams, Jr) and one of the best players on the women’s team (Tamera Johnson) that are LCA grads.

Maybe at some point people will stop crapping on LCA every time the schools name comes up on a UL sports message board.

I doubt it, but maybe.
