THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, <strong>2011</strong> FOOTBALL <strong>2011</strong> AMERICAN PRESS 7 BARBE • LAFAYETTE AREA TEAMS BARBE: Veteran defense from PAGE 5 The biggest concern is up front, where the offensive line will have to be totally retooled with only one starter returning, senior right tackle Conner Fry (5-10, 243). “The offensive line is young,” Cutrera said. “But they’re big and they move fairly well. We’re looking for good things there eventually.” The biggest is left guard Tanner Hooper (6-4, 298), with the rest of the line expected to be filled out by left tackle Jacob Shepherd (6-0, 260), center Trey Celestine (6-0, 210) and right guard William George (5-10, 227). “The skill people are proven,” Cutrera said. “ Line and quarterback, that’s the questions we had coming in.” There are fewer questions on the other side of the ball. “Defensively, we’ve got a lot of people back, a lot of people with experience,” Cutrera said. “Early on we’ll rely heavily on them. We’ve got some people that run pretty well and can get to the football.” There are technically only five returning starters, but several more saw extensive playing time last season in the Bucs’ unique 3-2-6 alignment. “Again, because of experience, the defense is what I feel AT A GLANCE ■ HEAD COACH: Mike Cutrera (first year) ■ DISTRICT: 3-5A ■ LAST YEAR: 9-3, 3-1 (first in District 3-5A, lost 34-29 to West Monroe in regional round of playoffs) ■ OFFENSE: Multiple (Four starters returning) TE DESEAN SMITH (6-6, 227, Jr.); WR Kade Demarie (5-8, 130, Jr.); LT Jacob Shepherd (6- 0, 260, Sr.); LG Tanner Hooper (6-4, 298, Jr.); C Trey Celestine (6-0, 210, Sr.); RG William George (5-10, 227, Sr.); RT CONNOR FRY (5-10, 243, Sr.); QB Ryan Nolan (6-1, 155, Jr.) or QB Kennon Fontenot (5-10, 177, So.); RB TRE GOODLY (5-8, 210, Sr.); WR TREY QUINN (6-1, 180, So.); WR Dylan Todd (5-9, 155, Sr.) or Courtney Galentine (5-8, 160, Jr.). ■ DEFENSE: 3-3-5 (Five starters returning) NT Bradley Lamos (6- 2, 215, Sr.); DT Brandon Williams (5-10, 277, Sr.) or Mike Duhon (5- 10, 240, Sr.); DT JUSTIN WOODS (5-11, 272, Sr.); LB SPENCER HAN- COCK (6-0, 205, Sr.); LB Dewayne Prudhomme (5-11, 215, Sr.); SS AUSTIN GUILLORY (5-10, 190, Jr.); SS Keeslon Fontenot (5-10, 172, Sr.); CB Zack Cart (5-9, 168, Sr.); CB Jalen Lewis (5-8, 162, Sr.); S STEVEN BENJAMIN (6-1, 172, Sr.); S CALLEN SMITH (6-0, 177, Jr.). ■ SPECIALISTS: P Taylor Powers (5-10, 145, Jr.); K Jamie McGee (5-10, 175, Jr.). Returning starters in ALL CAPS. best about right now,” Cutrera said. “They know how to play that defense that we’re running. It allows them to just play, to run to the football and not be thinking about anything.” Safety Callen Smith was the Bucs’ leading tackler as a sophomore and is back, along with fellow safety Steven Benjamin. There’s plenty of beef up front, with Justin Woods (5-11, 272) returning at one tackle with Brandon Williams (5-10, 277) and Mike Duhon (5-10, 240) also in the mix. Bradley Lamos (6-2, 215) will be the noseguard. Spencer Hancock is back at one linebacker spot with Dewayne Prudhomme set to take over at the other. Austin Guillory and Keeslon Fontenot will be the strong safeties, while new starters Zack Cart and Jalen Lewis will be the cornerbacks. Cutrera isn’t sure what personality his team will take on. “It’s too early to tell,” he said, “But I think we have a good group. These kids work hard and I think they care about each other, which will help us tremendously. “We’re just excited and ready to get started playing some games.” Rams in rebuilding mode BY WARREN ARCENEAUX AMERICAN PRESS Five forfeit wins mattered little for Acadiana in the long run last season, as the Rams rampaged through the playoffs, claiming the Class 5A state championship with a 21- 14 win over West Monroe. Graduation did take a toll on the Rams, who will have two starters back on offense and will have an entirely new lineup in the secondary. The entire offensive line also graduated, as did starting quarterback Ryan Bergeron and 2,000-yard rusher Micah Eugene. District 3-5A The new offensive line will have plenty of size with four projected starters weighing at least 255 pounds, including 6-3, 300-pound Travis Venable at left tackle and 6-7, 320- pound Miles Davis at right tackle. They will be clearing room for backs Terry Abraham, a returning starter, and Jeff Brown, who was in the rotation last season. The only other returning starter, Barrett Guidry, is moving from guard to tight end. Rams head coach Ted Davidson is looking for a quarterback to lead the veer attack. Defensively, the Rams have five returning starters in the front seven, led by Claude George, who led the team in sacks as an end last season. Davidson said George may move to outside linebacker, where Zach Burch is a returning starter. Darius Ridgeway returns as middle linebacker and Dondre Chanet and Isiah Abraham return at tackle. Lafayette will have a new look with Jay Domengeaux taking over as head coach and installing a split-back veer offense to replace the spread scheme the Lions used last year. A pair of returning starters at running back, Roy Thompson and Devin Benjamin, offense. will lead the ACADIANA ■ HEAD COACH: Ted Davidson (76-19) ■ DISTRICT: 3-5A ■ LAST YEAR: 10-5, 2-2 (tied second in District 3-5A, Class 5A state champion) ■ OFFENSE: Veer (Two starters returning) TE BARRETT GUIDRY (6-1, 230, Sr.); SE Kohl Guilbeau (5-9, 160, Sr.); WR D.D.
