FERRIDAY — Ferriday High School head football coach Stanley Smith said that he expects his team to return to a normal scheduled in the fall of 2021, including a full 10-game schedule after having a reduced schedule in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ferriday went 6-2 overall and 4-1 in LHSAA District 2-2A. After a first-round forfeit win over East Feliciana High School, the Trojans were upset at home by Port Allen High School in the second round, 22-20.

“Hopefully, we’ll originally start everything over,” Smith said. “We expect to have a full season starting in early September. We’ll have the summer offseason program starting in June. We’ll do seven-on-seven throughout the summer. Hopefully, we’ll go to some summer offseason camps.”
