Last Meeting: The Louisiana College Wildcats fell to the 12th

ranked Hardin-Simmons Cowboys on Saturday in Abilene, Texas in the 2015 season finale by a final score of 82-21. The Cowboys, who were playing for a share of the 2015 American Southwest Conference title, were too much for the Wildcats, as they rolled up 680 yards of total offense and had 33 first downs to lock up a spot in the 2015 NCAA Playoffs. HSU started off the game with a bang, as senior receiver Jesse Ramos returned the opening kickoff of the game 88 yards for a touchdown to give the Cowboys a 6-0 lead just 13 seconds in. The Cowboys would score on their next three possessions to take a 27-0 lead early in the second quarter before the Wildcats scored their first touchdown of the game, a 55 yard touchdown strike from Easton Melancon to sophomore receiver Lawrence Williams to make the score 27-7 with 12 minutes left until halftime. But HSU’s offense was too strong on the afternoon, as they scored touchdowns on all of nine of their first half possessions to take a 61-7 lead into the locker room at halftime. LC would score twice in the second half on a 25 yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by freshman defensive tackle Chris Carter and a 38 yard touchdown run by Brett Sylve. Williams would finish the day with a career-high 106 receiving yards while Sylve led the Wildcats on the ground for the second consecutive game with 62 rushing yards.

Noisy Cricket: 2015 all-conference first team

defensive back Willie Smith is well on his way to another great season. He has 12 tackles, including 11 solo, and continues to be the cornerback that locks on the opponents top receiver. He had one of the longest plays in school history and the longest in the NCAA this season against Texas Lutheran on a 98-yard interception return for a touchdown. The potential matchup this week against Hardin-Simmons’ Reese Childress, who leads the conference in most receiving categories, will be one to watch. Year 2014 2015 2016 Totals

LC Football

Head Coach Dennis Dunn

Dennis Dunn is in his eleventh year as the head football coach at Louisiana College. Overall, he has a 61-39 record in ten seasons as head coach. In his tenure at LC, Dunn has seen an amazing 93% graduation rate from his players, one of the highest such marks in the country. He has seen 115 players selected Academic All-Conference in his time at Louisiana College. In 2012, Dunn’s Wildcats enjoyed the finest year in program history, as they posted the first ever 8-win season in school history as well as making their first ever appearance in the NCAA Division III National Playoffs. The Wildcats also finished the season ranked #23 in the nation, the first time in school history that they have finished a season ranked in the top 25. His efforts were recognized by the league’s coaches and officials, as he was named the 2012 American Southwest Conference Coach of the Year. Louisiana College placed 20 players on the 2012 ASC All-Conference team, which set a new school record for most All-Conference honorees and more than any other team in the ASC in 2012. Dunn’s players received more individual accolades in 2012 than any other year in the program’s history, as he saw seven players named ASC Player of the Week during the 10-week regular season, five named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week, and two named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Player of the Week. He also saw five players land on both the D3Football.com All-South Region Team and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association All-Louisiana Team, both new high water marks in program history. Senior wide receiver D’Mario Parker was also named an All-American by D3Football.com, the first player since 2008 (Kendale Rayford) to earn that distinction and only the third in program history, joining Rayford and Matt Miller in 2003. In 2011, the Wildcats posted their fourth consecutive 7-3 record, which at the time equaled the best record that the program has produced since its rebirth in 2000, and a third-place finish in the highly-competitive American Southwest Conference. The 2011 Wildcats also made history when they received a top-25 national ranking for the first time in school history. LC climbed as high as No. 19 in the nation. All of Dunn’s teams have finished among the best offenses in the ASC and the nation and 2011 was no different In 2011, the LC offense finished atop the ASC in total offense and fifth nationally, averaging 485.9 yards per game. The Wildcats averaged 6.19 yards per play and scored 51 touchdowns and scoring 371 total points. In 2010, the Wildcats finished as the No.1-rated passing offense in all of NCAA Division III as well as the No. 2 in the nation in total offense and No. 3 in scoring offense . In that season, LC put up 3,785 yards through the air and scored 42 passing touchdowns. Overall, the Wildcats put up 5,137 total yards (513 per game average), just 28 yards short of the No. 1 team in the nation, and put up 457 total points.

LC’s 7-1 mark in conference that season was the best in school history. In addition, senior Ben McLaughlin, a quarterback who began his career at LC the same season as Dunn and went on to start four years, led Division III in passing yards (3,770) and all of the NCAA in passing touchdowns (42). This effort led McLaughlin be named the 2010 Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s All-Louisiana Offensive Player of the Year, an honor for which McLaughlin was the only Division III athlete nominated. He also received the prestigious Mehlberger Award, one of the two national, individual awards present in NCAA Division III and to be listed among the four finalists for the Gagliardi Trophy, the other national individual award in Division III. McLaughlin continued Dunn’s line of tremendous quarterbacks that started at Evangel Christian Academy. In addition to his individual accolades in 2010, McLaughlin was also named the American Southwest Conference Freshman of the Year in 2006, all-conference in 2009 and 2010, conference offensive player of the year in 2010 and was a three-time ASC All-Academic selection and two-time ASC Distinguished Scholar Athlete honoree. In Dunn’s first season (2006), the Wildcats lost five games, three of which came by a combined seven points. In his second season (2007), the Wildcats closed the season with three consecutive wins, which had not been done since football was revived at LC in 2000, and a .500 record (5-5). In 2008, Dunn’s squad made history, bringing a winning team to the campus for the first time since 1962 (the school discontinued football from 1969-1999) with a 7-3 overall record. The 2008 season was doubly historic as it marked the first time LC played an on-campus game since the revival of football. Dunn’s hard work and efforts in fundraising and vision for an on campus stadium culminated with Wildcat Stadium being built in the summer/fall of 2008. While at Evangel, Dunn coached former USC and current NFL quarterback, John David Booty, former NFL quarterback, Josh Booty, and former Miami Hurricane and current NFL quarterback, Brock Berlin. Dunn came to Louisiana College with one of the most impressive resumes in Louisiana high school football coaching history. Dunn began his head-coaching career at Woodlawn High School in Shreveport. He led Woodlawn to three district championships and the state playoffs all five years of his tenure. In 1992, Dunn took over at Evangel Christian Academy and turned the Eagles into one of the most successful high school programs in the nation. During his 14 years at Evangel, his teams won 14 district championships (never losing a district game), nine state championships (3 each in class 1A, 3A, and 5A), and one USA Today national championship in 1999. Dunn also coached 19 AllAmericans at Evangel. Dunn’s overall high school coaching record was a staggering 200-39. Dunn and his wife Melanie reside in Pineville.

Week #1

Week #2

Huntingdon College 52, LC 49

LC 49, Texas College 18

With less than two minutes to go in the fourth quarter senior quarterback Easton Melancon connected with Lawrence Williams on a 13-yard slant pass to pull the Wildcats within three of the visiting Hawks 52-49. On the ensuing kickoff Charles Firmin got the perfect bounce on the onside kick and it was recovered by Ryan DeMattie, to give the ball back to the home team. Melancon completed a 12-yard pass to Shedrick Davis to move the ball into Huntingdon territory. Two plays later though the Hawks middle linebacker would step in front of a pass an take it the other way to essentially seal the victory for the road team. Melancon threw for 431 yards and five touchdowns in the game, his yardage moved him into second place all-time in school history for passing yards in a career. Aurren Cooksey led the rushing attack with 139 yards on 21 carries and two scores and Shedrick Davis led the receivers with 10 catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns.

D’Ondre Joseph made the start a quarterback due to an injury in week one to starter Easton Melancon. Once Joseph settled into the game he performed well, accounting for four total touchdowns in the game, two rushing and two passing. One week after five turnovers doomed LC against Huntingdon, the Wildcats turned the tables on Texas College with a total of six interceptions from five different players. Anthony Hargrave picked off two passes that set up the offense inside the 10 yard line both times and Mike Collins returned an interception 88-yards for a Wildcat score. In the second half the Wildcats scored touchdowns on three out of their five possessions including Collins’ 88-yard interception return. The defense shined throughout the game shutting out the Steers in the first half, and holding them to just 79 yards of total offense. D’Ondre Joseph led the offense with over 200 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns. Aurren Cooksey carried the ball 12 times for 76 yards and a score and Shed Davis caught four passes for 42 yards. Ryan DeMattie led the team in tackles with eight total including 1.5 sacks and 2.0 tackles for loss. Orel Ledet Jr. finished with six tackles in the game.

LC 35, Howard Payne 7

Sept. 17, 2016 • Pineville, LA

The Wildcats were able take advantage of six Bulldog turnovers and some fortuitous bounces of the football, to take a 58-28 win and improve to 2-1 on the season. With LC down 7-3 after Shed Davis produced a 60-yard catch and run for his first score of the night and then mid-way through the second quarter corner back Willie Smith intercepted a TLU pass off of a deflection and returned it 98-yards for a touchdown, giving LC a 16-7 lead. LC scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half, a 61-yard touchdown catch off of a deflection that fell right to Lawrence Williams and a Lamar Carroway 6-yard run on an end around with 0:43 seconds left in the half and LC would lead 3014 at the break. The Wildcats wouldn’t look back from there as Easton Melancon had his second 400 yard five touchdown game of the season and Shed Davis was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week after his eight catches for 170 yards and two scores.

Oct. 1, 2016 • Pineville, LA



With one minute remaining in the first quarter when Easton Melancon, who struggled with accuracy throughout the entire game, found Farron Jones for a 13-yard touchdown to give LC a 7-0 lead. After a Howard Payne punt pinned the Wildcats inside their own 5-yard line, LC got their first of two long touchdown scores in the game when Shed Davis caught the ball along the sideline, broke a tackle, and raced in for a 70-yard touchdown, the longest touchdown pass this season. After the Wildcat defense forced their second turnover of the game, the offense turned the ball over on downs again at the HPU 40-yard line that led to the Yellow Jackets only touchdown drive of the game ending with a 6-yard rush by Shannon Warren to cut the LC lead in half at 14-7. In the second half the Wildcat defense continued to dominate only allowing Howard Payne to gain 47 yards of offense. The defense continued their trend of takeaways, adding three more to their ASC leading 15 on the season. Lecorey Demease led the charge with an interception, his second of the year, and a fumble recovery. Anthony Hargrave also picked off third pass of the season in the game. With just 35 seconds left in the third quarter, after a Yellow Jacket missed field goal, Aurren Cooksey took the first play 80 yards for his longest rush of the season and his fifth touchdown of the year. Cooksey added another score mid-way through the fourth quarter to extend the Wildcats lead to 28-7. The senior from North DeSoto High School, rushed for a career high 201 yards on 24 carries, and moved into third place in Wildcats football history in career rushing attempts and became the third player since the year 2000 to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a career. Melancon threw for 366 yards and two touchdowns and Cooksey ran for 201 yards and two scores. Lamar Carroway led all receivers with eight catches for 104 yards and Cade Maxwell led the Wildcats in tackles with six and Lecorey Demease was named ASC Defensive Player of the Week after an interception, forced fumble, fumble recovery, and a pass breakup in the game.
