1^st TEAM LINE DRIVE SOFTBALL HIGH SCHOOL ALL-AMERICAN—PITCHERS

Kynzee Anderson (Sr., Calvary Baptist Academy, Shreveport La.)
After a junior year that saw Kynzee go 21-1 and led her team to a state title, she had another great season to cap her tremendous prep career as she went 30-1 with a 0.61 ERA and 318 strikeouts. The Univ. of Georgia signee was named the MaxPreps National Player of the Year and capped her amazing six years on varsity with 129 wins and 1,398 strikeouts. Not coincidentally, her school has also won a jaw-dropping six consecutive Louisiana state championships and finished No. 6 in the final 2026 Line Drive SUPER 70 National High School Softball Team Rankings with a 37-1 mark. Kynzee was ranked No. 2 overall in the Line Drive 2026 HOT 100.

Macie Bryant (Jr., Barbers Hill, Mt. Belvieu Texas)
Macie’s 2026 season was like a Hollywood movie as she went 31-1 with 352 strikeouts in 185 innings or an average of 1.90 K’s per inning and recorded a ridiculously microscopic ERA of 0.086 but the best part was the finish to the season. In the Texas 5A Div. I state championship, the LSU signee threw a perfect game to cap the team’s 41-4 season and a No. 4 ranking in the final 2026 Line Drive SUPER 70 National High School Softball Team Rankings. With her combo of a mid-60’s fastball accompanied by a rise, screwball, split and change-up, she was also ranked No. 2 overall in the Line Drive 2027 HOT 100 player rankings.
