NORTHWEST LOUISIANA FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONS
(Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, recently, two teams in my district won
football State championships. In Class 2A, the Evangel Eagles, led by
Coach John Bachman, Sr., defeated John Curtis High School.
David Dee Duron completed an 8-yard touchdown pass in the third
quarter to Trey Taylor to give Evangel the lead. The Eagles won the
game by a final score of 18-13. David Dee Duron finished the game
completing 25 of 39 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns, setting 2A
title game records for most completions, attempts and yardage.
In Class 1A, the Haynesville Golden Tornados, coached by David
Franklin, beat South Plaquemines to win the title. Late in the third
quarter, B'Air McGee had a 21-yard touchdown to give Haynesville the
lead, and then the Golden Tornado defense intercepted a pass with only
23 seconds left in the game to preserve the 19-12 win.
Congratulations to the coaches and players of both Evangel and
Haynesville on this tremendous accomplishment.
