there is no way Acadiana will beat Hahnville Friday. This is a nightmare match-up for the Rams. Covington tried but they could not contain the duo of Mr. Louisiana Football, Pooka Williams, and Quarterback, Jha'Quan Jackson. Pooka is AVERAGING OVER 300 YARDS A GAME in the playoffs! How the hell is Acadiana going to stop that? Too much speed for the Rams. Much respect to the Rams and the tremendous tradition they have, but their run ends Friday. Let this sink in. Had his 2 TDs not been called back dude would have had over 400 yards rushing. Holding you to this my man. You might be right, but keep in mind that Ted Davidson is 6-0 in semifinal games and Acadiana hasnt lost at their home field in the playoffs since the last millennium (1999). More talented teams have come into Bill Dotson Stadium and were sent home with their tail between their legs.

Everyone knows just how good Pooka is does Hahnville have any other offensive weapons how is their def. are they just this running back only. can they win without him Nope they wouldn’t. They actually have other weapons if my thinking is the same as yours and that is speaking next level talent. But Coach Salt is gonna dance with what got him here and that’s running the ball with an exciting ball carrier. Did the same at East Jeff when he won but qb had more carries.

But I've been right many many more times than I've been wrong.. But if I'm wrong, I've grown use to the way deep fried crow, Sprinkled with a little Tony's, taste Lol. You're right, many teams have been sent home with their tails between their legs. I was witness to many games Where the wreckin' rams rolled over their opponents who were favored to beat them. I have a good feeling that I'll be at this game. If I come, Get ya boy a ticket

Had his 2 TDs not been called back dude would have had over 400 yards rushing. I’ll be honest with you, saying there’s no way in hell Acadiana wins this game takes lots of balls or no brains, or both. Hahnville is a great team, and it’s true Acadiana has barely won their last two games. But they held Live Oak, who runs the ball 95% of the time, to 176 yds rushing and only gave up their points through the air. Acadiana is awfully good against the run. Landry Walker wasn’t able to run either against Acadiana. But Pooka Williams. He’s very good, but I seem to remember Laron Landry being just as good on offense for Hahnville. And unless Pooka knows how to stop the veer then he will probably have to have the best game of the season because I watched a Ruston team that Acadiana blew out almost beat this team. No offense to Covington, but they aren’t Acadiana. Acadiana doesn’t have a Pooka Williams, but they have running backs that are pretty good themselves. You seem pretty knowledgeable, which is why I’m surprised you’d talk out of your butt like this. To your credit, you probably haven’t seen Acadiana play this year. You should come Friday, it should be a good game.

Correct me if if wrong but wasn't the mighty veer shut down by Class 3A Kaplan, whom you guys struggled to beat by 5 points? Also, didn't the Rams give up over 30 points to Sulphur? With all due respect my friend, the Tors Offense is no where close to what Hahhville is bringing. That Acadiana team who struggled against those 2 better not show up Friday against Hahnville or they will spend the entire night looking at the back of jersey #7. And, when it comes to picking the winner of games, I'm only wrong half of the time. 👍🏼 Yes I think I will make this game. Should be a great atmosphere

Should be a great atmosphere You wanna bring up old games but fail to bring up John Ehret or Brother Martin? That’s a two way street brother, and Kaplan is still playing and Sulphur was a fluke. Acadiana is battle tested and have had their backs against the wall the last two weeks. I’m not the one saying Hahnville has no shot. The only way Hahnville runs away with it is if Acadiana has one of their 3+ turnover games. Like I said, I’ve seen Hahnville play and all you have is Acadiana losing to Sulphur and a close Kaplan game without actually knowing what happened in those games. Acadiana squeaked by Live Oak but doubled them in yardage and first downs. A three point win is all you see.I am confident that Acadiana can win this Friday, I just hope Hahnville has the same attitude as you. Acadiana has been to the semifinals 9 times out of the last 17 years and won class 5-A 4 out of the last 10 years (made the finals 6 out of 10) and have gone unbeaten exactly 0 times. They lost 3 games in 2013 and then went on to set the record for scoring in the championship game. And you lol about Pooka and Laron but Hahnville fans were saying we had never seen anyone like Laron before, and before that Shaw was saying we had never seen anyone like Shyrone Carey before, West Monroe fans were saying we had never seen anyone like Paul Turner before and most of their 2010 front 7 on defense went on to play for TCU, Parkway had never had a player like Brandon’s Harris before, Ponchatoula fans said we had never seen a player like Christian Campbell before, 2013 Destrehan was loaded with a D1 QB and players all over, Landry Walker had how many division 1 players? It’s like a broken record. I guess we will see Friday how good Pooka and the rest of his team are.

I am a Hahnville band parent, so I have seen almost every Hahnville game for 5 years now. Pooka Williams is special. He has been a major player on the team for 3 years. The QB Jackson has an offer from Tulane as an athlete. WR #9 Byrd could play at the next level, but Hahnville almost never throws the ball.
Hahnville did have a few games this year where they threw it a few times and even had two touchdown passes in a game. But the bread and butter is running. QB Jackson struggles throwing downfield, so why risk anything when you can run it.
The Hahnville defense played Covington like they did most of they year. Hahnville is a bend but don't break defense. Keep it in front of you and make the other team go the length of the field and tighten up when they get to about your own 30.
People say that Brumfield should have gotten the ball more and I understand that, but he had 35 carries.
whodats "Their whole setup for watching a game is stupid. I’ll sleep good at night if I never have to go back to that stadium."
What is your issue with the stadium? If it is getting in and out, then you need to go to Destrehan sometime.

Turner was hurt, wow is that all you got. Micah Eugene took Turners spirit on that very 1st hit. WM had not been tested and when the rubber met the road, Acadiana proved to be the better team. May he RIP but Shows was outcoached by TD that night. I have the dvd and every time I watch it Acadiana still wins.... Please control the excuses.....

Pooka ran for over 300 !!!! Let me see Dillion Monette ran for 280 against Live Oak. Not sure how many yards Ziggy had or Shelvin. Acadiana is not a 1 man show. Acadiana has a defense, unlike HHS. Landry Walker brought more talent to Bill Dotson than HHS ever will. Every time we play HHS we have to listen to this Acadiana can't win stuff. And everytime guess what happens? CORRECT Acadiana wins !!! Pooka gets his, BUT so does Dillion, Ziggy, Lucky, Shelvin, Jaylen, Tabb and James. See one horse doesn't make a rodeo, you got to have a stable. Just an FYI, we play defense at Acadiana. Ask LW and Live Oak they aren't busy Friday night.

Where were all these horses when the rams were only able to put up 17 points against Kaplan and Live Oak? We will see just how much defense you all play. You let Landry Walker score 22 points with that pitiful offense they have , I can only imagine what Hahnville will do. The only thing that can stop Hahnville from scoring is the refs. We shall see Friday.

We shall see Friday. Acadiana put up more yards on Live Oak than anyone they played all season, including Zachary. Landry Walker hit Acadiana on a couple of deep pass plays but weren’t really a threat all night. They beat John Ehret 30-0, who beat Hahnville so I don’t know why you’d bring Landry Walker up. Kaplan is really all you’ve got, and they’re a really talented 3-A team who got two huge turnovers late in the game near Acadiana’s goal line to make it a closer game than what it was. But believe whatever you want. Hahnville can certainly win because Acadiana is a beatable team who can hang with anyone but are capable of making huge amounts of mistakes. Acadiana is pretty unbeatable whenever they play mistake free football. So yea, Hahnville can win big if Acadiana just implodes Friday. Acadiana has only given up more than 14 points a couple of time this season, the Sulphur game was one of those mistake filled games that Acadiana was winning comfortably at 28-14 before imploding. But Acadiana and Hahnville has a common opponent to go off of. Ruston, who you fail to mention. Pooka rushed for 300 yards against them yet they were a missed field goal (one of two) at the end of the game from winning. Pooka has 300 yds and Hahnville almost loses to a team that Acadiana waxed 28-6? And Ruston was the best team Hahnville played all year, according to their coach. So I fail to see how you think Acadiana has no shot at winning. They can certainly win.

Acadiana was only able to score 17 points against live oak in a 17-14 struggle. This same Live Oak team gave up 38 points to Denham Springs in a 38-6 waxing. I'll give you one guess who put up 42 points on this same Denham Springs team. So what does the Ruston game tell you? Absolutely nothing.

Covington was the best team Hahnville Played all year. He must have made that statement before last Friday night. Regardless, they lost to two mediocre teams, almost lost to a Ruston team who Acadiana took behind the shed, and were in a close game in the 4th qtr against a Covington team whose best wins were against 7-4 Slidell, 7-5 St. Paul’s and 7-5 Ouachita, all of them close games btw, and yet Acadiana has no shot. Yes, that Acadiana who hasn’t lost a playoff game at home since 1999 and has been arguably the most successful playoff team in 5-A since 2001 has no shot because a 3-A team that’s still playing gave them a close shave in week 1 and they outrushed Live Oak 378 to 186 but only scored 17 points. The only clear explanation is that you’re trolling, and if so you’ve done a great job. Kudos.

Southplaq,your'e dealing with some very passionate Ram fans on this topic.When you make a comment that Acadiana has no chance,what did you expect by their responses?Everyone has a chance to win at this point in the season,including Hahnville or Acadiana.I am an Acadiana fan that admits Pookie will be the best running back that the Rams have faced all year.But Coach Ted Davidson is a master at milking the clock and Pookie Willimas can't score if he's on the sideline.I can take a step further,Pookie could get 150 yards and 2td's,but the only team to stop Acadiana's offense this year has been Acadiana,with turnovers and penalties.Acadiana had 17 penealties against Live Oak,a touchdown called back and on 1 so called goal line stand ,there were 7 straight penalties for illegal shift??? They were not false starts(but 2 legit false starts were called on a different drive),they were illegal shifts.Acadiana never has anyone in motion on any given play and run out of the same split back formatiom,with no one moving.And Coach Davidson had the offense take a knee with just under 2 minutes at the Live oak 6 yard line.And how interesting that the referees that called that game were from the River Parish Association??? I'm expecting a track meet this Friday with the team with the least mistakes will win.Good luck to all teams and have a safe trip Hahnville fans!!!

Playing the who lost to whom game is pointless at this point in the season.
Lets see....
Troy beat LSU LSU beat Auburn So Troy must be better than Auburn!
Hahnville lost two games very early in the schedule. They are a different team now. Both team are very good. The difference will probably be the home field. The home field was probably the difference for the Hahnville win over Covington.

Any notion that Acadiana has no shot at winning because of one player deserves to be shot down and labeled as the lunacy that it is.

How do we know Hahnville losses are to mediocre teams? Would Sulphur fit into the same category? Or is this just one of those I’m a fan of my school and we will not lose things? Just Curious You’re on a high school football message board and this is your question? Maybe it’s my fault for thinking I could explain to Southplaq why I thought this would be a hard fought close game against two good teams instead of a Pooka Williams highlight 49-0 beat down. Maybe he’s right and we have no shot. Guess we’ll see

I believe Acadiana will have to execute a great game plan to stop, or should i say contain Hahnville and Vice Versa

Southplaq,your'e dealing with some very passionate Ram fans on this topic.When you make a comment that Acadiana has no chance,what did you expect by their responses?Everyone has a chance to win at this point in the season,including Hahnville or Acadiana.I am an Acadiana fan that admits Pookie will be the best running back that the Rams have faced all year.But Coach Ted Davidson is a master at milking the clock and Pookie Willimas can't score if he's on the sideline.I can take a step further,Pookie could get 150 yards and 2td's,but the only team to stop Acadiana's offense this year has been Acadiana,with turnovers and penalties.Acadiana had 17 penealties against Live Oak,a touchdown called back and on 1 so called goal line stand ,there were 7 straight penalties for illegal shift??? They were not false starts(but 2 legit false starts were called on a different drive),they were illegal shifts.Acadiana never has anyone in motion on any given play and run out of the same split back formatiom,with no one moving.And Coach Davidson had the offense take a knee with just under 2 minutes at the Live oak 6 yard line.And how interesting that the referees that called that game were from the River Parish Association??? I'm expecting a track meet this Friday with the team with the least mistakes will win.Good luck to all teams and have a safe trip Hahnville fans!!! It's all good, my man, I'm passionate about the 2 teams i follow also, so I definitely understand. I love that passion. It makes for great discussions I know where you're coming from, You seem to be one of the more knowledgeable posters on this site.I would love to watch a good game with you one day.I really hope you can make the Hahnville/Acadiana game.If you do,I just might buy your ticket.

My two cents is this: I haven't seen Acadiana play but they are in the semis, you don't get there by luck. I have seen Hahnville aka: The Pooka Show up close and personal. He is as good as advertised and then some. Covington had zero athletes that could match up with him. That kid needs only a very small crease and he will exploit you. He is the fastest kid I've seen in a long time. They have a very mediocre defense that allowed Brumfield north of 250 yards. They have NO passing game which makes them very one dimensional. It is hard to argue their play or game strategy, as they too are in the semis. Their strategy is well known and simple: give Pooka the ball. They truly are a one man show if there ever was one. He is their team. Can Acadiana slow him down? I don't know because they sure aren't going to stop him. I never dreamed he would've had 300 yards on Covington. If Acadiana can find a way to limit him, they can win. You have to be disciplined in your assignments and have sound gap discipline. There is no arm tackling, he moves too quick for that. You have to break down on him because if you are moving even a little in one direction, he will change direction on a dime and be gone. They say he is not very talented in the classroom, but I know this: he has great football sense. We had him penned up and surrounded late in the game for about a 20 yard loss due to his propensity to change direction and try to make something out of nothing (he will try to force plays where there are none instead of taking a small loss or a small gain and waiting for the next play). Anyway, we had him contained for a huge loss, he had enough presence of mind to throw a pass out of bounds to avoid the loss. 2nd and 10 instead of 2nd and 30. I did see a little frustration on their first drive as Covington held him to about a -9 yards on the drive. He tended to get chippy and frustrated with his O-line. I think if Acadiana can sustain holding him to small yards and a few negative plays, they can get him out of his game. Just my opinion and observations.

I think if Acadiana can sustain holding him to small yards and a few negative plays, they can get him out of his game. Just my opinion and observations. Very good observations. I’ve watched some Hahnville games on YouTube and he is, IMHO, the best RB in the state. Can change direction on a dime, elite speed and breaks more tackles than someone his size should. His vision reminds me of Justin Vincent, who ran a zone offense at Barbe and was excellent at finding holes to run through. The only difference is he is faster than Vincent. Gap assignment will be key. He’s going to get his yards and then some. One thing I’ve noticed is that they are good at winning the 4th quarter. While Pooka is elite, the QB isn’t far behind. He takes advantage of teams keying Pooka but he’s not a slouch either. Great speed. Acadiana will have to play gaps soundly and contain contain contain. He seems to do most of his damage outside. He gains chunks when running between tackles but it’s when he gets outside the tackle box that he hits the homerun. It’ll be a real challange slowing him down. Hahnville runs a 3-4 defense that will likely change to a 5-2 if they’re smart. Live Oak sold out against the run and still gave up almost 400 yds rushing. The thing about Acadiana is if they can sustain drives and keep Pooka on the sidelines then that would go a long way. Live Oak had a season low 34 plays from scrimmage on offense, compared to Acadiana 58. Acadiana needs to play keep away. And they can be really good at that. All in all I’m confident we can win, but I also know that Hahnville is capable of taking it to the house on any play. Should be a great atmosphere and game. Already bought my tickets and I know Hahnville travels well.

You are correct veermachine. Hahnville does travel well. They took a nice crowd to Ruston 2 weeks ago and should have a good crowd this week.
And you are correct about the qb #4 Jackson. He is really fast and runs the read option well. Throwing can be a challenge, but Hahnville needs to mix some in to keep the defense honest.
Until this year, Pooka Williams was not the workhorse he is now. Last year he was the back up running back and played as a slot receiver a lot. This year Pooka is the main guy, but they have tried to limit his touches when they can. In the last two regular season games, Pooka only played in the first half of each game and only had 16 touches in those two games. I think he had over 300 yards with those touches though. In the last regular season game he had something crazy like 190 yards on 7 touches.
Hahnville has been good as pulling away in the 3rd and 4th quarter. The big offensive line wears down the defense and then they just pound the ball up the middle.
