The Acadiana Rams are setting their sights on a double crown in the 2026 season, aiming to capture both the district championship and the state title that have eluded the program in recent years.
Building on a legacy of resilience
Head coach Doug Dotson has long preached teamwork and mental toughness, qualities that have become the program’s hallmark and that he hopes will carry the Rams through a challenging schedule.
Offensive continuity
Quarterback Cohen DiBetta will take the first snap this fall, with his brother Collin DiBetta ready to step in if needed. The backfield will feature returning running back Syrian Joseph, who amassed over 500 yards last season, giving the offense a potent ground game.
Defensive reshaping
The defense will undergo significant change after the departure of coordinator Matt Moreau and standout player Darryus McKinley. Yet seniors Joel Dorion and Aedan Pierce are emerging as the new anchors, while other prospects such as Carderian Brown look to contribute in key moments.
Culture of cohesion
Beyond individual talent, the squad emphasizes a close‑knit environment that can weather adversity, a philosophy that has kept the Rams competitive year after year and that fans hope will translate into another deep playoff run.
