SOUTH BEAUREGARD<br />
SB looking forward to Class 3A<br />
BY WARREN ARCENEAUX<br />
AMERICAN PRESS<br />
For the past four years, the<br />
South Beauregard Golden<br />
Knights have kept their win<br />
total moving up.<br />
This season, the whole program<br />
is on the move, going up<br />
to Class 3A.<br />
“Reclassification is something<br />
we have been<br />
District expecting for<br />
years,” said head<br />
4-3A coach Shawn<br />
Demeritt. “We<br />
beefed up the JV <strong>schedule</strong> last<br />
year — we added Westlake<br />
and had already been playing<br />
Iowa and DeRidder. We are<br />
looking forward to the challenge.”<br />
The Golden Knights met<br />
just about every challenge<br />
they faced last season, completing<br />
their first undefeated<br />
regular season before falling<br />
to Winnfield in their first<br />
playoff game.<br />
Repeating the feat against<br />
a more difficult <strong>schedule</strong> will<br />
be a tall order. South<br />
Beauregard is 19-1 at home<br />
during the past four seasons,<br />
but the Golden Knights have<br />
six road games this season.<br />
The team has been putting<br />
in extra work to prepare for<br />
the tough slate.<br />
“We have had the best offseason<br />
ever,” Demeritt said.<br />
“We have had more kids in<br />
during the summer than ever.<br />
Some were here every day<br />
and we are in good shape.”<br />
Carrying a heavier workload<br />
this year will be Silas<br />
Whalley, who was an all-district<br />
linebacker last season.<br />
This year he will move to<br />
safety and also be the primary<br />
ball carrier on offense<br />
after seeing spot duty offensively<br />
last season.<br />
Demeritt said Whalley is a<br />
versatile athlete with the ability<br />
to both get upfield and<br />
lead effectively.<br />
“Silas is going to be our<br />
workhorse,” Demeritt said.<br />
“He has good speed, but he’s<br />
also shifty.<br />
“I am not a big juke guy. He<br />
