Class 4A

By Jim Derry Special to the LSWA It clearly was no coincidence the top two teams in Class 4A made the state title game. State champion Karr and runner-up Lakeshore highlight the 2017 All-State team with three players each, more than any other school. Each finalist had two offensive players – Karr quarterback Skylar Perry at athlete and offensive lineman Lemar Johns along with Lakeshore quarterback Chris Penton and wide receiver Jacob Bernard. The Titans also placed the 4A Offensive Player of the Year in Penton, who passed for 3,790 yards with 43 touchdowns against just five interceptions. Lakeshore’s Craig Jones was named Coach of the Year, as the Titans won their first 14 games on the way to the title game. The team also won its first four playoff games in school history in making it to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. To go along with his All-State quarterback, he also had two 1,000-yard receivers in Bernard and Jalen Willis. The New Orleans area also had the 4A Defensive Player of the Year, as well, with Warren Easton defensive back Damien Tate taking those honors. Not only did the Tulane commit have 62 total tackles (25 solo) with seven pass breakups, but he logged six interceptions with a pick six. To help push him over the top, Tate excelled on special teams and offense, with more than 1,000 all- purpose yards with 12 touchdowns. OFFENSE Position Name School Ht. Wt.
