Haven, Miller, Barbay headline LSWA 2025 Class 2A All-State squad

Elijah Haven, a rare sophomore Outstanding Player selection in 2024, only surpassed that impressive performance with a record-breaking and championship-winning junior campaign.

The Dunham quarterback repeats as the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 2A Offensive Outstanding Player, setting state single-season marks for passing touchdowns (62) and total touchdowns (73), and career total touchdowns (180).

Haven joins fellow Division III Select state finalist Luke Miller of Calvary Baptist, and Mansfield coach Darrell Barbay, as this year’s Class 2A superlative award winners.

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound Haven was 240 for 331 (72.5%) with 3,929 yards and 62 touchdowns with just seven interceptions. He also rushed 127 times for another 847 yards and 11 scores. His prolific effort helped lead his Tigers (13-1) to the program’s first title since 2004, defeating Calvary 34-17 in the Division III Select state championship.

Miller led Calvary Baptist (12-2) to its second championship game in the past three years with his own standout performance in the middle of one of the state’s top defenses. The 6-foot, 195-pound senior finished with 123 tackles, one of Louisiana’s top totals, including seven stops behind the line with three interceptions and 11 break ups.

Barbay led Mansfield (10-3) to its first 10-win season and first quarterfinal run since 1993 and an undefeated District 3-2A title. The Wolverines have improved their win total every season since Barbay’s hire in 2022, including three straight years with at least one playoff victory after a four-year drought.

Mansfield opened the season with a wild comeback from 35-0 deficit to beat Minden 46-38 and rarely slowed down during a memorable run throughout the fall.
