2016 All State Football Teams

Class 5A

By Jim Derry Special to the LSWA Since L.B. Landry and O. Perry Walker merged four years ago, it has been quite the journey for Keytaon Thompson and Emanuel Powell. And has ended in style. Just a few weeks after the Charging Buccaneers finished off the Class 5A state championship with a lopsided victory over West Monroe, the duo has been named the Louisiana 5A Outstanding Offensive Player and Coach of the Year, respectively. One of those chasing Thompson around in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the Rebels’ John Bailey Gullatt, was named the state’s Outstanding Defensive Player. Thompson, who is heading to Mississippi State later this month to begin his collegiate journey, accounted for more than 5,000 yards of total offense and 70 touchdowns. Powell led the first Landry- Walker group to play all four seasons as one school. “There are a lot of coaches involved in this, not just Emanuel Powell,” Powell said. “ … It has been a pleasure. (Running back) Tevin (Bush) came in the ninth grade, Keytaon came in the ninth grade, all of these kids have been around each other, so their experiences on and off the field have helped them. “If Tevin had a great day, Keytaon applauded that. If Keytaon had a great day, Tevin applauded him. Same thing with (wide receiver) Devonta (Jason), (wide receiver) Travis Victor and (running back) Jakobe Walker. All those kids came in together, and it has been such a blessing. We only had one football and a bunch of talent, and we were able to spread it out.” Gullatt, who had double-digit tackles in the state title game, had 189 for the season with 16 tackles for loss and two sacks. He also recorded seven quarterback hurries, two pass breakups and had a fumble recovery 90 yards for a touchdown.
