In 1990 when Ruston won their piece of the MNC they beat Catholic (Baton Rouge) 52-3 in the state championship game.

In 2026 Carrollton beat Catholic (Baton Rouge) 61-27
Carrollton head football coach Joey King wins his first state championship at Carrollton and a piece of the MNC.
Carrollton was so close to winning it last year..

The football Gods  have deemed it gospel.

Just because you beat the living dog shit out of a top 5 Lousiana team does not mean you are gonna win a MNC.

The 3 teams they played are a combined 1-5 on the year. They played Rome who is decent and 2 other garbage teams.

Archer, Douglas Co and Westlake should give them tougher tests.

But if the win out they will for sure be top 5 and might be able to stake a claim depending who else is undefeated
