Williams has coached at his alma mater for the last 5 seasons in which Ruston reached the championship game 3 times, winning it all in 2023. Prior to Mangham, Yanez spent the previous 4 years as HC/AD of the Richwood Rams.

Ruston High’s Jerrod Baugh picked as North Louisiana Coach of the Year.

Baugh is being honored for his superior abilities in coaching, sportsmanship, integrity and character in
amateur football. This country is marked with remarkable individuals who work tirelessly out of pure
love for the game and a desire to help youth play it well and Baugh exemplifies that model.

Baugh has led the Ruston football program back among the state’s best since taking over as the Bearcats’ head coach in 2016. They have played in the LHSAA Division I Non-Select state championship
game each of the past two seasons, winning in 2023, and have been highly-ranked in the LSWA’s Class 5A top 10 poll and the LHSAA’s power rankings throughout his tenure.

Baugh’s Bearcats program has produced many college football competitors and he has generated tremendous community involvement and support for the program and school, and impressive facility upgrades. His remarkable personal story of overcoming adversity has been an inspiration for all who
encounter him.

The coach of the year honor was last presented to three-time state champion Jess Curtis of Many High School in 2022, and previously to Jason Brotherton of Haughton and Bo Meeks of Airline in recent years.

Tickets, table purchases and sponsorship opportunities for the Feb. 20 festivities are available by calling 318-347-4453 or emailing [email protected]. An extensive silent auction of college and professional football gear, memorabilia and other items will be conducted during the evening.

Tickets for the banquet are $45 each or $360 for a table of eight. Sponsorships are $1,000 with all revenue going to fund the scholarships for the nine deserving scholar-athletes announced last month.
