Haughton’s own Alyssa Giddings absolutely crushed the Shreveport Times Athlete of the Week poll, pulling in an insane 9,739 votes. That’s a huge win for the Lady Buccaneers’ cross country standout, showing the kind of support she’s got from the community. She didn’t just win; she made a statement in the seventh annual online poll.
Giddings Dominates the Polls
When the numbers dropped, Giddings was way out in front. She snagged a whopping 65% of the 20,312 total votes cast, leaving no doubt who the fans wanted to see crowned Athlete of the Week. Loyola volleyball player Katelyn Clarke put up a strong fight, earning 6,812 votes (35%), but Giddings just had too much momentum. This isn’t just a win; it’s a landslide that highlights her impact as a non-football athlete in the 2024-25 school year.
A Legacy of Excellence
Giddings now joins an impressive list of past winners. She’s in good company with athletes like Benton’s Sam Ivins and Brody Hutchison, Caddo Magnet’s Elena Pizarro, and Calvary’s Jackson Burney. Her victory celebrates not just her individual performance, but the strength of high school sports in the region. Other athletes like Logansport’s Kollin Magee, North DeSoto’s Hayden Bell, and Benton’s Layla Davidson have also been recognized as Shreveport Times Athletes of the Week, showing the depth of talent out there.
We’ve got to give a huge shoutout to Alyssa Giddings for this massive fan-backed win. It’s awesome to see the community rally behind one of its own. What a performance!
