The Live Oak High School girls powerlifting team has once again proven itself as a force to be reckoned with, capping off an incredible season with outstanding performances at the state level. Showcasing strength, discipline, and determination, the team brought home multiple top finishes—including three individual state champions.
Leading the way was Kaila Maher, who delivered a standout performance to claim 1st place in the 97-pound weight class. Her focus and consistency throughout the season paid off when it mattered most, earning her a well-deserved state title. Reflecting on her experience, Maher shared her mindset going into the competition: "I was just grateful for the opportunity to be there. I did not care what place I would get." When asked about her biggest supporter, she added, "My biggest supporter on my powerlifting journey has been my mom." She also described the atmosphere at the event, saying, "The energy was amazing, from music playing to the amazing support and encouragement from everyone there."
In the 114-pound weight class, Kayla Scott battled fiercely against tough competition to secure 2nd place. Her effort and resilience contributed valuable points to the team’s overall success and highlighted her growth as a competitor.
The 123-pound weight class saw double success for Live Oak. Brynn Catalono dominated her division, earning 1st place and another state championship for the team. Meanwhile, teammate Olivia Fontenot also stepped onto the podium with a strong 3rd place finish, underscoring the depth of talent within the program.
Rounding out the champions was Jenna Robertson, who powered her way to 1st place in the 198-pound weight class. Her commanding performance sealed her position as one of the top lifters in the state and added to the team’s impressive tally of titles.
With three state champions and multiple podium finishes, the Live Oak girls powerlifting team has solidified its reputation for excellence. Their achievements are a testament not only to their hard work in the gym but also to the strength of their teamwork and coaching.

For the players, the experience is just as meaningful off the field as it is on it.

When asked about the team’s best performance, he pointed to their dominant 5–0 win over West Monroe High as a standout game. Among the many memorable moments, one that continues to stand out was Landry Smart’s incredible home run robbery against Prairieville—a play that perfectly captured the team’s effort, focus, and determination.
