Ouachita Christian is still absolutely rolling, staying undefeated this fall after completely shutting down General Trass in a 58-8 District 2-1A victory. The Class 1A No. 1 Eagles are now 9-0 on the season, celebrating their 50th anniversary in football by simply not losing a single game yet. This team is a force.
OCS Has Two-Headed Monster Running Wild
Seriously, the Eagles are just built different right now, and senior Jude Turner is a massive reason why. The guy rushed for 156 yards and three touchdowns in that win against General Trass, with two of those scores coming right in the first quarter! We’re talking about a player who made All-State honorable mention last fall and is already OCS’ second all-time leading rusher. That’s a legacy building right before our eyes. And it’s not just Turner. Junior Tristan Raymond, in his first year as the Eagles’ starting quarterback, is absolutely tearing it up. He threw for 147 yards and two touchdowns against General Trass, bringing his total touchdown count for the season to a ridiculous 35. That’s the kind of production you expect from a veteran, not a first-year starter. This duo is making OCS unstoppable.
Big Wins and Playoff Pictures Getting Clear
Across the area, some teams are making serious noise as the regular season winds down. St. Frederick, now 3-5, grabbed a 49-8 road victory over Delhi. Senior Archer Ashbrook was a beast, hauling in a 46-yard touchdown reception and racking up nine tackles on defense. They are still in the hunt to host a Division IV select first-round game. Franklin Parish, at 6-3, defeated West Ouachita 55-26, fueled by senior and LSU commit Trey Martin who rushed for an insane 262 yards and three touchdowns. He’s so close to breaking his school’s all-time rushing record; you know he’s going for it. Ruston improved to 7-2 with a 49-14 win over Pineville, with senior Sam Hartwell throwing for 201 yards and three scores. West Monroe, now 6-3, recorded their third consecutive shutout with a 48-0 dismantling of Peabody, led by sophomore Hudson Spillers who punched in two rushing touchdowns. Caldwell is also rolling with three consecutive victories, moving to 7-2 after beating Richwood 21-0. Richwood, at 4-5, is likely heading to the D-III nonselect postseason. Mangham, 8-1, crushed Delhi Charter 55-0 and is looking at another first-round bye in D-IV nonselect after their runner-up finish last fall. Jonesboro-Hodge, 7-2, with a 52-0 win over Lakeview, will likely host a D-IV nonselect first-round game. Even in a loss, players are putting on shows: Cedar Creek’s sophomore Payton Harris (134 yards, TD, six tackles) and senior Brett Bell (133 yards, TD, six tackles) both ran for scores as their team fell for the first time this season to reigning D-IV nonselect champion Haynesville. And junior Jabari Levingston exploded for 284 yards and four touchdowns for Lincoln Prep in their 50-34 loss to Glenbrook.
It’s getting real out there, with West Monroe heading into a massive regular-season finale against Ruston. Union Parish, after their 42-6 win behind sophomore Anthony McNeal’s 20 tackles (two TFLs), has a huge showdown next week against Oak Grove. And Jonesboro-Hodge has a nice tune-up game at Logansport before the postseason kicks off. What an insane run for OCS, and you know they’re looking to keep that perfect record going strong.
