In a dazzling display of determination and skill, the St. James High School football team has orchestrated a remarkable postseason journey, toppling defending state champion Many and stunning No. 2 Sterlington on the road. Their triumphant march has secured them a coveted spot in the 2023 LHSAA Prep Classic, marking their return to the grand stage after a four-year hiatus.

The architect of this resurgence is none other than head coach Lavanta Davis, who, in just his second season, has etched his name into St. James’ storied history. Davis joins an elite group, becoming the eighth head coach in program history to guide his team to a state title appearance. This exclusive list includes legends like James Waguespack, Rick Gaille, Dwain Jenkins, and Robert Valdez, all of whom have left an indelible mark by leading the Wildcats to state championship games.

Davis brings a wealth of experience, having previously steered Scotlandville to a state runner-up finish in 2016. His tenure as the defensive coordinator at St. James contributed to a state title in 2019, foreshadowing the remarkable journey that has unfolded this season.

Keep a keen eye on the field for the stellar talents propelling St. James to glory. Quarterback Brayden Williams, a formidable force with 2,300 passing yards, leads the charge. He is complemented by the dynamic duo of Kobe Brown, boasting 1,192 yards and 15 touchdowns, and the versatile two-way standout Adrian Prean, Jr. Together, they form a formidable trio, ready to leave an indelible mark on the 2023 LHSAA Prep Classic and etch their names in the annals of St. James High School football history.
