Yesterday, we kicked off this two-part series by introducing you to the super talented sisters from Louisiana, Kylee and Allie Savant.

Kylee is the older of the two, a high school senior who is going to LSU, and Allie is two years behind her as one of the top players in the Class of 2027.

Yesterday, in Part I, we introduced you to Allie who, like Kylee, also plays basketball at Doyle High in Livingston, La. and is recognized as one of the top softball prospects in her class.

When you leave the game of softball, how do you want to be remembered and what will you do when you’re finished playing to help grow the game?
I don’t think I will ever truly leave the game because I want to stay involved by coaching.

If I do leave I want to be remembered as someone who worked hard, was a great teammate, was loud, energetic, and just a ball of fun to be around.

Softball has made such an incredible impact on my life and I have learned so much because of it.

In the Spirit of Sister Fun! Q&A w/ Kylee Savant

So (in the spirit of fun)… who’s the better softball player: you or Allie and why?
I don’t like to answer this question because me and Allie are two totally different players. I catch and she plays middle infield. I hit for power and Allie is more of a base hit batter. We are both really good at our jobs and I would want both of us on my team!

What’s it like being a senior now… exciting or a bit scary?
It’s both exciting and scary. Excited for all the senior activities with my best friends since middle school. A bit scary to know that my high school memories are coming to an end. But excited again to be able to go to my dream school and play the sport I love.

Talk about the moment you realized LSU was the place for you… what was the final piece of the puzzle in terms of you deciding to be a Tiger?
Growing up, LSU was definitely my dream school. To be able to stay in my home state and continue my athletic and academic career was a huge goal. All my family are huge LSU fans as well. LSU just feels like home to me.

Basketball: will you try to continue on the court once at LSU or will you be all softball all the time?
I love basketball and it’s a lot of fun but I don’t love it enough to continue it in college.

In hoops, what do you think is the strength of your game?
I’m a small forward, meaning I dribble, shoot, post wherever the team needs me most at. My favorite thing is to shoot 3’s and rebound.

What are you going to work and focus on specifically on your softball game before you hit LSU?
I want to develop the best version of myself physically and mentally. Being in the weight room non-stop to get as strong as I can. Really focusing in the classroom and studying hard.

What’s been your favorite athletic experience?
Making it to State for the semifinal game my freshman year and having both of my sisters on the team with me. My older sister, Kaykay was a senior and played first base. I was the catcher and Allie was in 7^th grade playing right field. This was such an amazing experience, and I will never forget the bus ride there and back with them.

When all is said and done, how proud are you of your lil sis (Allie)?
I am so proud of her; she has come a long way! I know it’s not always easy having me as a big sister, but we push each other, hold each other accountable, and make each other better.

Any idea what you want to study in college or do after your playing days are done?
I am in between deciding if I want to be a chiropractor or a teacher/coach. My dream job would to be able to coach Division 1 college softball because I give lessons to kids now and enjoy sharing my knowledge of the game to others.

Finally, who’s funnier… you or Allie?
Definitely me!
