Allstate Sugar Bowl Recognizes State Champs in a Pair of Sports

NEW ORLEANS (June 26, 2025) – The Slidell volleyball team, which became the first public school to win the Division I state title since 2011, have been selected as the Allstate Sugar Bowl’s Outstanding Prep Teams from the Greater New Orleans area for 2024-25.

The New Orleans Sports Awards Committee, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, has selected Sugar Bowl Athletes of the Month and each year’s Allstate Sugar Bowl Sports Awards Banquet presented by LCMC Health on August 2. Honorees are currently being announced, wrapping up with the New Orleans’ Outstanding Girls Prep Team of the Year were Haynes Volleyball and St. Scholastica Swimming. Haynes came together behind sisters Virginia and Marilyn Voitier to upend top-seeded Hannan to capture the LHSAA Division III state championship in the school’s first-ever trip to the state title match. St. Scholastica’s swimming dominance continued as the Doves used a balanced effort to tally 365 points, 91 points ahead of second-place to win their 14th straight Division II team title at the LHSAA state swim meet.
