RedZone Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Interesting matchup. Ruston is putting together a pretty solid schedule. Ruston lost most of their State Championship team from last year, but they don't seem to care. I know Ruston brings back their QB. I'll have to check and see what's going on over there at Ruston. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 Ruston's non-district schedule so far: 5A Acadiana, La 7A Cabot, AR 4A Stephenville, TX 6A Longview, TX Of course Ruston will play West Monroe, Monroe Neville, and the rest of their district. Haven't seen their full schedule yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reb72 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Good for Ruston, they are poised to rule 2-5A for the foreseeable future... and now you see why I say WM will be playing for the 3-4 spot until there are some drastic changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter who fills that last spot they have a great schedule 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reb72 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Remember, Ruston's coach came from Texas and I'm sure he still has plenty of contacts. Our coach also came from Texas, let's see if he will schedule any Texas teams 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephenville, TX is one of the best 4A programs in Texas...... lots of tradition and I believe they have won 6 or 7 State Championships. Most everyone on this side has heard of Stephenville, TX. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 Looks like Ruston lost a pretty good chunk of their defense. I thought their defense was probably the best in the state this past year. It was pretty athletic. Breaux and Guidry were absolute beasts. They signed a modest 7 players today on National Signing Day.

RedZone Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Ruston has actually been playing OOS games for a very long time. In 1995 Ruston played Hoover, AL at Hoover and lost a heartbreaker 14-7. That was a big OOS game for its time period Hoover was Preseason #1 in Alabama. Hoover ended up #4 in Alabama in 1995. I'll have to check and see what Ruston did in 1995, they did not win state, I know that. Louisiana has played Hoover 3 times at Hoover, but Hoover has yet to play a game in Louisiana. Anyways, 1995 Hoover 👇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 One of Stephenville,TX's best years was 2021 when they went 16-0, won state and were ranked 15th in Texas, if you believe MaxPreps. Stephenville was 11:-3 last year and lost to the eventual state champion in the 4th round, I believe. Stephenville has a little OOS history as they have played Dillard, FL and Venice, FL. Stephenville beat Dillard and lost to Venice. Is what it is. Stephenville 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just sat there and checked every year in the maxpreps era to find some nugget or fun fact about Stephenville so you can share why this should be a good game for the number two team in all of Louisiana. Lmao! That’s an all time low 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reb72 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 so West Monroe released their schedule today, see why teams like Ruston, Neville and Alexandria are leaving the Rebs behind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a bad schedule at all. Calvary Baptist will probably win D4 this year. They got some studs. Their big OL prospect (Harper) committed to LSU and their RB is close to committing to LSU also. One of the best RBs in the nation. https://247sports.com/player/james-simon-46134704/ Note: Evangel Christian moved up to 5A and they are on the road to recovery. Evangel signed 11 players Wednesday. Their best class in quite some time.

RedZone Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 North Louisiana is way ahead of South Louisiana in football scheduling for 2024. The only completed schedule I've seen for South Louisiana is St Aug (NOLA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year West Monroe has Calvary Baptist, Evangel Christian and Catholic-BR Maybe John Curtis needs a game. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty4024 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I actually think Ruston beats Stephenville this upcoming year. I am intrigued on how Ruston' DBs will deal with their tall WRs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
