The New Orleans Sports Awards Committee began in 1957 when James Collins spearheaded a group of sports journalists to form a sports awards committee to immortalize local sports history. For 13 years, the committee honored local athletes each month. In 1970, the Sugar Bowl® stepped in to sponsor and revitalize the committee, leading to the 1971 creation of the New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame, honoring 10 legends from the Crescent City in its first induction class. While adding the responsibility of selecting Hall of Famers, the committee has continued to recognize the top non-professional athlete in the Greater New Orleans area each month – the honors enter their 70th year in 2026. To be eligible, an athlete must be a native of the greater New Orleans area or must compete in the metropolitan region. Each of the monthly award winners are honored in the summer at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Sports Awards Ceremony.
Ashtyn Rogers, the ace pitcher for the Patrick Taylor softball team, was selected as April’s Allstate Sugar Bowl Athlete of the Month presented by LCMC Health. Rogers, a member of the Patrick Taylor varsity softball team since seventh grade, was the key to the Tigers’ run to the LHSAA state semifinals for the first time in program history. The lone senior on the team, Rogers struck out 15 and added two hits and two runs scored in fifth-seeded Patrick Taylor’s 5-0 quarterfinal victory over No. 4 St. Charles Catholic on April 25 to send the team to the Division II Select Semifinals. She also pitched a one-hit, 12-strikeout complete-game in a 5-1 win over Academy of Our Lady on April 21 to lift the team into the quarterfinals.
While both of those performances were critical, her top game of the year may have come on April 7. The senior ace recorded 34 strikeouts while pitching 16 shutout innings in a 1-0 victory over Hahnville. She also reached base on an error in the top of the 16th, advanced to third on a bunt, then scored on an infield single to account for the only run in the game.
A Southeastern signee, Rogers was dominant all season for Patrick Taylor (29-7). She posted a 0.65 ERA, 19 wins and 304 strikeouts in 150.2 innings pitched along with a .475 batting average, 47 hits, 15 doubles, 37 runs scored, 27 RBIs, and 27 stolen bases. She also only struck out four times in 110 plate appearances. For her career, she recorded over 800 strikeouts.
The softball star was selected for the honor over six other exceptional area athletes:
- Jaxon Burratt, a junior slugger from Prairieville, La., has been a consistent threat for the Loyola baseball team throughout the 2026 campaign with a .382 season batting average, including 63 hits, 11 doubles, four triples, and 50 RBI, with a .533 slugging percentage. For the month of April, he hit .392, collecting 9 RBI, with a pair of home runs and three doubles. He opened May by being named the MVP of the Southern States Athletic Conference Tournament after leading the Wolf Pack to its second straight league title.
- Sophomore Kayla Giardina, a standout pitcher for the Southern Miss softball team, threw a perfect game through six innings to complete a weekend sweep of South Alabama on April 26. Giardina headlined her two complete-game victories in the series with the fourth perfect game in program history. She allowed just six hits and one walk through 13 innings of work to post a 0.54 ERA on the week. The Chapelle grad held hitters to a .136 batting average and recorded just one earned run on the week. For the month of April, through 43 innings pitched, she allowed just 10 runs with a 6-2 overall record. On the season, Giardina has a 17-9 record with a 2.53 ERA and 74 strikeouts.
- Loyola track and field star Tenosh Landry repeated as the women's high jump champion at the Southern States Athletic Conference women's outdoor track and field meet on April 20. Her jump of 1.70 meters/5 feet, 7 inches was an A-qualifying mark for next month's NAIA national meet. The sophomore was one-hundredth of a meter from her 2025 school record. A graduate of John Ehret and a native of Marrero, Landry also won the high jump at the United States Sports University Eagles Invitational on April 11.
- A senior, Beckham Lieu led the Patrick Taylor bowling team to its first-ever LHSAA bowling title on April 9, and one day later, he captured the state boys singles title to complete a championship double. In the team event in Gonzales, Lieu had a 688 series in a semifinal victory over No. 1 seed and previously unbeaten Episcopal, then came back with a 679 in the title match as Patrick Taylor defeated West Bank rival and two-time defending champ Archbishop Shaw 22-5 for the Division II championship. Lieu was selected the Outstanding Bowler of the Division II final. In the singles event in Baton Rouge, which featured the top 80 boys bowlers in the state, Lieu grabbed the sixth and last spot for the modified stepladder finals after a 910 series for four games of qualifying, but "ran the ladder" to the championship with games of 244, 236 and 215. In 13 games over two days, Lieu knocked down 2,972 pins for a 228.6 average.
- Molly Trodd, half of Tulane beach volleyball’s top-flight beach duo alongside Skylar Ensign, keyed the Green Wave’s run to its first ever Conference USA beach volleyball championship and its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Trodd, a senior, and Ensign, a junior, were named the CUSA Pair of the Tournament as well as being selected to the all-tournament team. The duo swept their match against nationally-ranked top seed Florida Atlantic to spark the Wave’s championship on April 25. Trodd also earned an academic medal on the CUSA Commissioner’s Honor Roll on April 3.
- Jason Wachs turned in a red-hot month of April for the Green Wave baseball team. The sophomore outfielder hit .397 (23-of-58) for the month with 16 runs, 23 hits, nine doubles, four home runs, 12 RBIs, 44 total bases, an .815 slugging percentage, 10 walks, and a .522 on-base percentage. He had nine multi-hit games in 15 games. He closed the month on a seven-game hitting streak. For the season, the Pembroke Pines, Fla., product is hitting .324 with team-highs in hits (57), runs (42), RBI (43), doubles (19), and home runs (6).
