And once the Chargers found that rhythm, they never let up en route to a 50-0 rout of Union Parish in the most lopsided shutout in an LHSAA state championship game since the 1940s.
2021 Recruiting Class
Brian Chatman — 5-9, 166 ATH — Madison Prep
The acrobatic offensive weapon caught two passes from 42 yards, including a 16-yard reception to convert a third-and-10 and a 26-yard touchdown. Chatman wasn’t ruled eligible until late in the season, but quickly worked his way into a consistent playmaker for the Chargers.
JaCarre Cooper — 5-9, 177 ATH — Madison Prep
The senior speedster was the leading complement on the ground for his dual-threat quarterback with 13 rushes for 106 yards, for an average of 8.2 yards per attempt, and caught a 20-yard pass.
Royon Davis — 5-9, 165 ATH — Madison Prep
Davis has made plays in all three phases for Madison Prep throughout his high school career. His biggest impact in his final game came from his safety role on defense. He tied for the team lead with six tackles, including one for a 3-yard loss, an interception and a fumble recovery.
Tyrell Raby Tyrell Raby 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Madison Prep | 2021 State LA — 5-11, 180 DB — Madison Prep
The final high school game for the Memphis signee included two tackles and a 12-yard kickoff returned, but was highlighted on the offensive side of the ball where he hauled in two catches for 39 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-10, followed by another reception on a two-point conversion.
Marlon Smart — 6-2, 180 ATH — Madison Prep
The tallest target for junior quarterback Zeon Chriss came up big in his final high school contest with two catches for a game-high 86 yards, including a 76-yard dash to the end zone to convert a third down and double the Chargers’ early lead. He also tied for his team lead with six tackles and a fumble recovery.
Kameron Crow — 5-8, 200 DL — Union Parish
Crow was one of the Farmers’ leaders, leading playmakers and few standouts in a frustrating afternoon overall. The undersized defensive lineman was active up front with a game-high nine tackles — matching a pair of his teammates — including 1.5 for loss and a fumble recovery.
Spencer Sensley — 5-9, 221 DB — Union Parish
Sensley was another of the Farmers’ seniors to have his name called frequently by the public address announcer thanks to his own nine-tackle performance.
2022 Recruiting Class
Zeon Chriss — 6-2, 205 QB — Madison Prep
The junior quarterback was a pivotal performer and fitting Outstanding Player honoree. Chriss helped lead the Chargers immediately down the field for a touchdown on an opening drive that included four third-down conversations. The team set the tone by converting its first seven third downs to sustain drives, then even followed its first failed attempt with a fourth-down conversion en route to another score. Chriss completed nine of his 16 passes for 202 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed 20 times for 121 yards and another score.
Quency Wiggins — 6-5, 275 DE — Madison Prep
Wiggins closed his first year back on a football field since middle school with another positive performance, tying for the team lead with six tackles and helping set a strong edge against a typically dominant rushing attack. He has already compiled more than a half a dozen scholarship offers as college coaches quickly recognized his potential. And with a season under his belt and, hopefully, a more normal offseason of opportunities to continue perfecting its craft, this should be an even bigger year for the budding star.

Trey Holly — 5-6, 178 RB — Union Parish
The sophomore bell-cow entered the state championship still only vaguely familiar to much of the state despite electrifying north Louisiana with 2,595 yards and 44 touchdowns in just 11 games and 260 attempts, for averages of 235.9 yards per contest and nearly 10 yards per attempt. His 110 yards on 23 rushes Wednesday were easily his least effective showing of his sophomore season, but still enough to finish second only to Chriss in the contest and earn his team’s Outstanding Player honors and, later in the week, a Power Five offer from Purdue.
