Wishes the Best of Luck to all Coaches & Players for a successful 2010 Football Season

By Lisa SoileauxAssistant Editor

With a large number of underclassmen and a limited supply of returning starters for the 2010 football season, Rayne High Head Coach Curt Ware remains hopeful for a very competitive

season.“As in past seasons,”states

Ware of the 2010 campaign, “Our strong point of this year’s team is our defense. If we continue to improve on defense, as we saw last week in the Opelousas Catholic scrimmage, we can be com-petitive this year.”

Ware’s defensive depth falls on the shoulders of returning defensive end Andrew Abshire (6-0, 210 lbs.), linebacker Dylan Ware

(5-8, 185 lbs.), tackle Tyler Jennings (5-8, 240 lbs.), and defensive backs Aaron Chaisson (5-9, 160 lbs.) and last year’s interception leader Shelby Thibodeaux (5-9, 160 lbs.).

The basic defensive set for the Wolves is again a 4-2-5. Last year’s tackle leader Abshire, with Shelby Thibodeaux leading in interceptions, both returning for this season.

Completing Rayne’s defensive unit are a num-ber of new starters who Ware will be relying on this season, including tackle Gavin Broussard (5-11, 245 lbs.), end Pat Charles (6-0, 235 lbs.), linebacker Lacy Granger (6-0, 180 lbs.), and backs Lukas Meche (5-9, 155 lbs.), Ben Harrington (5-9, 160 lbs.) and R.J. Buchanon (5-10, 155 lbs.).

“If our key returners continue to improve,” notes Ware on this year’s defense, “and our new-comers can step it up to that next level, I think we can hold our own.”

Ware also returns a core number of dedicated

offensive players, despite loosing a few key play-ers at graduation.

“We’re not returning much, but who’s back will help us a lot,” while overviewing his offen-sive squad. “We have a bunch of players out here that give it their best, what really counts when you’re out on the field.”

On offense, six starters return, including All-District lineman Kyle Guthrie (6-1, 235 lbs.). With Guthrie at guard, he is joined by offensive tackles Jake Cormier (5-10, 250 lbs.) and Ty Mouton (6-0, 240 lbs.).

Of the remaining offensive starters are full back Brodie Bourque (5-11, 185 lbs.), who led in rushing yards last season, along with Jake Martin (5-9, 200 lbs.) at center, and Tre Leon (5-9, 185 lbs.) in the backfield at running back.

Joining last year’s veterans are Quinn Guidry (5-9, 155 lbs.) at running back and backup quarterback, Dannie Harmon 6-2, 210 lbs.) at tight end, Macolm Winbush (5-10, 210 lbs.) fillling in at offensive guard, and Thaddeus

SENIOR YEAR!HAVE A GREAT


By Chris QuebedeauxLSN Sports

CROWLEY – Reloading, rather that rebuilding, is something Lewis Cook has grown accustomed to during his 13 years at the helm of the Notre Dame Pioneers football team.

Regardless of the annual losses to graduation, Cook has built the Pioneers into a power-house year in and year out in Class AAA foot-ball, reaching the state finals six times in the last 10 years before picking up their sec-ond champi-onship trophy during that time

in 2010 with a 14-7 victory over Parkview Baptist.

This year, however, the Pios’ tra-ditional trek to the New Orleans Superdome may be a little bit tougher than normal after graduat-ing a number of key players from last year’s squad.

“The good thing is that we return quite a few players from last year’s team,” said Cook, who has five starters back on offense and seven back on defense. “There’s some experience coming back. We have some big holes to fill, but there’s holes to fill every year.

“Every year the kids have seemed to step up and try to fill the shoes of the teams that were ahead of them and I think this bunch is will-ing to accept that challenge.”

That challenge could be a tough one - on both sides of the football.

Offensively, the most nota-ble loss is that of quarterback

Ryan Leonards, who is now purs-ing a collegiate baseball career at Louisiana Lafayette. Leonards was a key cog in the Pios’ run to the state title game in 2008 before suf-fering a broken collarbone in the quarterfinals against Richwood. He returned last year and guided the Pios to a perfect 15-0 season while throwing for over 2,000 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Taking over under center this year for the Pios will be Stu Cook, who saw time at quarterback after Leonards was injured and helped Notre Dame get through a close victory over Redemptorist in the 2008 semifinals. Last season Cook was at running back and racked up 598 yards and 12 touchdowns on 132 carries. He also hauled in 31 passes for 351 yards and six touchdowns.

“Quarterback is the hardest posi-tion to play on offense,” said Cook.

“When you can bring back an expe-rienced quarterback like we did last year, it makes life a lot easier for all of us. Anytime you lose a quarterback, it’s tough and having it being Ryan, the hole’s a little bit bigger to fill.

“But with Stu having been on the field, I mean the kid led us to a semifinal win and quarterbacked in the championship game (in 2008) so that should help him. And that’s why I’m going with him.”

A big plus for Notre Dame is the return of tailback Logan Venable, who led the Pios’ ground attack last year with 888 yards and 14 touch-downs on 151 carries. Luke Besse, who saw significant time last year, will be in at fullback.

“Having Logan back gave us the freedom to move Stu (from tailback to quarterback) because now you

have a tailback with a ton of car-ries who had a great year last year,” said Cook. “I think having Luke there will make life a little easier for Stu because Luke played exten-sively last year.”

Stu Cook also has one of the Pios’ main receivers back to throw to in Zac D’Aquin. The senior receiv-er had a breakout year in 2009, catching 27 passes for 660 yards and seven touchdowns, including the eventual game-winning touch-down in the state title game.

“We have one of the better receiv-ers that we’ve had in a while com-ing back in Zac,” said Cook. “He’s been through all the battles and had the big catch in the champion-ship game.”

over at center after getting three starts last sea-son.

“Pete has been out there fighting battles for two years now and Brannon has been tested,” said Cook. “So, there’s a decent little nucleus set up around us to give us a chance on offense.”

New starters to the offense this year include Drew Trahan at split end, Cole Reiners and Charlie Daigle at the tackles and Donald Cormier at guard.

Defensively, the shoes get a bit tougher to fill.Yes, the Pios do return seven of their start-

ers. But they have some voids there due to the departure of Division I signees D.J. Welter (LSU) and Jacob Molbert and Hunter Stover (both Louisiana-Lafayette) as well as Michael Dysart. Those four players combined for 369 tackles and 25 sacks.

“The shoes are a little bit bigger on that side of the ball because they were three pair,” said Cook. “We had three guys move on to Division I football which we haven’t had three at one time ever that I’ve been there.”

However, the Pios do return their entire sec-

ondary, which is reason for optimism. That consists of Ricky Stoma, Luke Bourgeois, Kevin Johnston and Dylan Faul.

Stoma had a stellar year in 2009, record-ing 36 tackles while logging 10 interceptions. Bourgeois had 49 tackles, two sacks and three interceptions.

“The good thing about it, I think, is that the quarterback on defense is back,” said Cook of Stoma.

“Having the year he had last year with 10 interceptions; he made all the calls so having him back is big. And then Luke Bourgeois and Kevin Johnston back there with him on each side just makes it better for him to have that experience around him.”

John Rothermel moves to linebacker after playing every game last year in the secondary. He will be joined by returnee Will Fruge and newcomer Connor Goss.

Jerry Menard is the lone returning starter on the defensive line at tackle. Paul LaCroix will fill the void at the other tackle left by Dysart. Dylan Daigle and Jacob Melancon will hold down the

end positions.“A lot of these guys played extensively last

year so, again, there’s a decent nucleus on that side of the ball,” said Cook. “There are some big shoes to fill, but we have some experienced guys to at least step in and help pick up some of that slack.”

Stover’s departure also left an opening in the kicking game for the Pios. D’Aquin and Goss will take up those chores.

“They don’t have the experience or quite the strength in their leg that Stover did but on any given year, they both would be as good a kicker as a lot of people have,” said Cook. “They just need some time. We just need to do it, give them the opportunity to get in there and get some reps at it.”

Goss and Tyler Melancon will also handle the punting.

“Last year we went into the season with an experienced kicking game and this year, we don’t have that experience so that is an area that we hope we can grow up in pretty fast,” See PIONEERS, Page 22

said Cook.And growing up fast in

every phase is a must as usual with the non-district slate that Cook has lined up.

Following a scrimmage against St. Thomas More and a jamboree contest against Acadiana, Notre Dame opens the season with back-to-back home games against Class 4A opponents when they host Teurlings on Thursday, Sept. 2 and Breaux Bridge on Sept. 10. The Pios then travel to Baton Rouge to take on Christian Life on Sept. 17 before returning home to take on St. Louis on Sept. 24. Their final non-district con-test is Oct. 1 at Eunice.

“The first seven weeks are going to be good for us,”

said Cook. “We’ll get tested

real quick with the scrim-

mage and the jamboree. And

then we have Teurlings and

Breaux Bridge. The first four

weeks is going to be a gruel-

ing stretch. And then with

Christian Life, St. Louis and

Eunice, that’s some good

quality teams. We’ll get to

find out a lot about ourselves

early.”

The Pios then open league

play on Oct. 8 at Erath before

hosting Rayne on Oct. 14.

Back-to-back road trips to

Abbeville and North Vermilion

follow before the Pios close

out the regular season at

home against Kaplan.
