“I think it’s an awesome idea for the football team to be honored,” Schiele-Emery said. “I’m very proud of the players and coaches, for winning the state championship game. I think it’s an honor.”

In the football season, the Trojans had an overall record of 14-1 and went 7-0 at home on Melz Field.

Ferriday High School Head Football Coach Stanley Smith is excited about the upcoming parade.

“I think it’s huge to recognize the kids and have a parade for them,” Smith said. “I think it’s good to recognize the kids and their accomplishments.”

Schiele-Emery said the public is also invited to have barbecues and have a family day.

“I just hope that everyone comes out and helps celebrate the boys,” Schiele-Emery said. “We would love to have the same continued support so we can become an ‘A’ school. We need the same support as we do athletically.”

The parade is set for Dec. 28 beginning at Ferriday High School.
