Louisiana Season Preview and Schedule of Games

Defending State Champions Meet to Open Season

The Acadiana Wreckin Rams go on the road to take on Lafayette Christian. The Rams are the #1 ranked team in Class 5A and #2 ranked team in Louisiana. The Knights are #1 in 2A District 6 and #8 in the state.

Acadiana completed the school’s first undefeated season with an 8-to-3 victory over Destrehan in LHSAA Class 5A. It is the fifth state championship in school history. Going into the season, Acadiana loses a lot of offensive talent but returns some defensive stalwarts including DE/OLB Cam George.

Lafayette Christian won its third state title last year with a 41-14 beat down of St. Charles in the LHSAA DIII championship. The Knights are 39-2 over the last three seasons. In the new LHSAA alignment, this season Lafayette Christian moves into Class 2 District 6.

Players to Watch

Topping the list for the Wreckin Rams is 3-star DE/OLB Cameron George. The 6’2″/240 lb. senior is 1st Team All-District, 2nd Team All Acadiana and All-State Honorable Mention. George received nearly two dozen offers but recently committed to the Ragin’ Cajuns of Louisiana.

Another Ram to keep your eye on is senior DB/LB Chris Celestine. He’s a transfer from Lafayette Christian and will be going up against his old team.

For the Knights, 5-Star safety Sage Ryan enters his senior season as the #2 rated player in Louisiana. He’s also considered the #1 safety and the 28th overall prospect in the nation. Ryan is a threat on both sides of the ball including special teams. He’s received offers from a who’s who of college teams including LSU, Alabama and Clemson.

The Knights also have several heavily recruited juniors including DT Fitzgerald West.
