       ACADIANA HIGH SCHOOL WRECKIN' RAMS CROWNED STATE CHAMPIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Acadiana 
High School Wreckin' Rams football team for recently being crowned 
Class 5A state champions by the Louisiana High School Athletic 
Association on December 14, 2013, in New Orleans. This team put on a 
show for the ages as it amassed a state finals rushing record of 634 
yards night en route to its 77-41 win over the Parkway High Panthers in 
the state championship game. The 77 points by the Rams was a Class 5A 
record, including 42 points in the first half.
  The game was a shootout with teams trading possessions frequently. 
Acadiana High School attributed its success to the veer offense which 
combined a strong offensive line with a formidable ground game. 
Evidenced by the fact four of the team's running backs gained over 140 
yards under the bright lights of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the 
offensive scheme was a success.
  This was Acadiana High School's third state championship. I'd like to 
congratulate Coach Ted Davidson, finals' Most Outstanding Player Edward 
Cormier, and the entire Wreckin' Rams team on their victory. This team 
made its community proud by the way it simply dominated its competition 
en route to becoming state champions.
  I look forward to next year's football season and wish the Wreckin' 
Rams team good luck in defending its crown.
