BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - While Madison Prep is celebrating another basketball championship, a Warrick Dunn Award finalist won a football state championship, too.
Memphis defensive back recruit Tyrell Raby was a two-way starter for the Charges, making him a contender for Sportsline Player of the Year.
Tyrell Raby named a finalist for Warrick Dunn Award
Raby was a big part of Madison Prep’s first-ever state title in football on the receiving end of Zeon Chriss touchdown passes, in the return game, and in the defensive secondary.
Friday had to be among the wackiest days in local high school football history, with Lake Charles College Prep, Kinder and Grand Lake all winning road games â with the Blazers and Yellow Jackets adding to both the degree of difficulty and drama by winning in overtime and double overtime, respectively â while the area s lone home team, undefeated and top Class 3A seed Jennings, lost to Madison Prep.
No shame in that for the Bulldogs. Playoff seedings are always of dubious accuracy based on factors such as strength of schedule and opponents results that are partially, if at all, in the control of each team. This year they provided even less accuracy due to shorter schedules, games canceled due to Hurricanes Laura and Delta as well as teams choosing to sit the season out.
