<strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> Joins the Big Dogs<br />
by Reed Malek<br />
Sports Editor<br />
As the Bearcats get ready to get back on the football field, things are going to be a bit<br />
different under the Friday night lights this time around. Because of a recent increase in<br />
student population, <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> athletics transitioned from District 4A to District 5A, the<br />
highest level in the state.<br />
With their addition to the most competitive athletic district in the state, the Bearcats<br />
will likely face more intense competition than they have seen in years. Though their<br />
schedule maintains their usual, smaller district counterparts such as Bastrop, Neville and<br />
Arcadia, the Bearcats will see a few new teams this year such as Natchitoches Central<br />
and Pineville.<br />
The move to District 5A could have big implications for <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong>‘s playoff hopes,<br />
but the Bearcats are determined to rise to the challenge and prove they deserve to play<br />
with the big dogs.<br />
Bearcats Prep for „Jam at the Joe‟<br />
by Reed Malek<br />
Sports Editor<br />
On Saturday, <strong>August</strong> 27 <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong>‘s varsity Bearcats will travel to their own backyard<br />
to play Loyola Prep in the third annual Jam at the Joe at Louisiana Tech‘s Joe Aillet<br />
Stadium.<br />
The Jam at the Joe is a preseason event which this year features ten northern Louisiana<br />
high school teams and five games. Coming off a disappointing 38-19 defeat at the hands<br />
of the Calvary Baptist Cavaliers last year, the Bearcats look to end their preseason<br />
strongly before they travel to Neville <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> to play the Tigers on September 2.<br />
All <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> students are encouraged to come out and cheer the Bearcats to victory<br />
at 8 PM this Saturday!<br />
