2022 Preview
Despite numerous setbacks the St. Louis football program has endured over the last two seasons, the program is in good shape entering the 2022 season. With the city of Lake Charles still reeling from the effects caused by Hurricane Laura, the Saints also had to go through another head coaching change, the second in five years, as Brock Matherne was brought in last season.
The excellent news for Matherne's program is that those players who went through the bumpier times enter this season with not only the experience needed to produce positive results but with an understanding of the standards and expectations expected of them by the new coaching staff.
St. Louis started nearly a dozen sophomores a year ago in Matherne's first season at the helm where the underclassmen took their lumps. Their unique experience could prove to be helpful as now the majority of the team has playing experience under their belt. On offense, seven return including Division I target Grant Evans (562 yards, 7 TDs receiving) as well as dual-threat quarterback James Reina (1,937 yards, 20 TDs passing). Junior Jordan Davis will be among the linemen battling in the trenches to help prevent any distractions in the backfield.
On defense, only four will not return from last year's team as leading tackler Graham Montet (127 total tackles, 2 sacks) and junior Luke Mere (73 total tackles, INT) team up to slow down the opposition to help the Saints create a tighter battle in the race for the District 3-3A crown this season.
