As usual, Kynzee Anderson was a dominant force in the circle for Calvary Baptist Academy during the 2025 season. She posted a dazzling 24-1 record, a 1.26 ERA, 245 strikeouts in 145 innings pitched and capped a Select Division III state championship season with an abbreviated no-hitter in the title game.

That resume alone would make the University of Georgia commit who can hit 68 on the radar gun worthy of any postseason honor.

But there was more – truly more than enough to make the junior the Louisiana Farm Bureau Insurance Miss Softball honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. She is the first Calvary product to capture the award.

For the first time, Calvary head coach Tiffany Wood allowed her ace to serve as a full-time hitter.

Consequently, Anderson described this season as “a lot more fun.”

Opponents would disagree.

Anderson posted a .466 batting average with 14 home runs and 45 RBIs.

“She’s proven she can do both,” Wood said.

The dual-threat junior earned Miss Softball honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. She is the first Calvary product to capture the award.

“The confidence at the plate works into my pitching and the confidence from my pitching works into the confidence at the plate,” the 5-foot-6 Anderson, who boasted a 1.034 slugging percentage, said.

Anderson also collected the Louisiana Gatorade Softball Player of the Year and the Outstanding Player designation on the Class 2A All-State softball team.

Just 10 minutes before the state championship game, Wood and her staff believed Anderson would be a late scratch after her ailing back flared up. 

“I was overwhelmed. I never thought it was going to happen (in the state championship game),” Anderson said.

Said Wood: “She’s been a fighter all season long.”

Motivated by a title push for late teammate Elana Franks, who died just days before the 2025 season began, Anderson not only pitched, she didn’t allow a hit to D’Arbonne Woods.

“We did it for her,” Anderson said. “I know she’s looking down at us and she’s happy and smiling.

“I was trying to do anything I could to help the team.”

In 2025, Anderson did everything to help her team.
