Ruston — Too slow for South LA teams.
Ruston — Can’t throw the ball. Will get beat because they are one dimensional.
Ruston — Can’t beat Zachary in the Dome. Coaching staff is just too dang good for ZHS.
Ruston — Defense is good, but a passing team will feast on them.
Ruston — If the other team had a better QB, they would have won.
Ruston — They will come back to reality.
Ruston — I think STM, Catholic, and Opelousas are better after watching this weekend.
Ruston — STATE CHAMPS!

Ruston is the best team in the state. They look like a junior college team playing in high school for crying out loud. Catholic and STM are close, but I don’t think they have the top end talent Ruston has.
Anyone saying Opelousas is better has lost their freaking minds.
I watched all of those teams this weekend, and I’m not a fan of any of them. My take walking away last night, is again: Ruston is the best team in the state.

Ruston was easily the most impressive team I watched this year outside of LCA (yes I'm biased) This defense is other worldly AND the Jet can FLY! I was rooting for Ruston all year and glad they are back, congrats!

Absolutely STM is in that discussion of the best team in the state, a game between STM and Ruston would be fantastic. I think Ruston has the edge, but 100% those are the 2 best teams in the state imo and head and shoulders above the rest.

STM can not handle the physical style of play that Ruston plays with that was proven 2 years ago when they had Walker Howard, you saw how that turned out LCA handled it pretty well, I think STM would shock a lot of people in that department.

I knew before the playoffs started that Westgate would be our biggest matchup problem. Westgate and WE are very similar and not a good fit for Ruston. I felt pretty good about their chances once we beat them.

STM can not handle the physical style of play that Ruston plays with that was proven 2 years ago when they had Walker Howard, you saw how that turned out 2 years is an eternity in HS football. Not to mention that was the worst team STM has had in probably at least a decade. STM the last two years has been ridiculously physical. This was the best defense they’ve had in YEARS and the running game was among the best they’ve ever had.

Calvary-------STATE CHAMPSI had been saying all season that I wasn't convinced Calvary wasn't the best team in the state regardless of class. After seeing them live on Saturday, though, I can't put them in the same category as Ruston, STM, Catholic and LCA. Still a tremendous season and great accomplishment for a really good team.

I felt pretty good about their chances once we beat them. The only other team that worried me after Westgate was Destrehan, which has had our number and historically is just a bad matchup for Ruston. I think Zachary proved this year's Destrehan wasn't as good as previous versions, but I also think they just match up better against Destrehan than Ruston does (while Ruston matches up much better against Zachary). I think a Ruston-Destrehan matchup would have been a better game than Zachary-Destrehan was, but thankfully for my Bearcats they didn't have to see Destrehan this year.

Ruston plays as good a schedule as anybody in Louisiana, but there are only five non-district matchups each cycle. They can't play every great program in the state. I'll be curious to see who is on the schedule the next two years. Baugh doesn't back down from anyone.

I think I mentioned it here, that if Zachary beat Destrehan, Ruston would win the title. And if Destrehan had beaten Zachary, that I probably would have picked Destrehan to beat Ruston. Zachary’s offense played right into the strength of the Ruston defense. That said, with the emergence of Brantley at QB, they probably would have beaten Destrehan too.

Ruston played well, especially defensively. Kudos to Ruston coaching on offense taking advantage of aggression. Zachary was not going to let the RB beat them that was clear from the beginning. Ruston added a couple playaction shot plays and the naked bootleg and Zachary had no answer or adjustment.
I personally would have thrown the ball to 28 more but that is just me. But this is a celebratory thread not an analyzation.
Congrats to Ruston, been a long time coming and the celebration is deserved. Salute
