State Championship Predictions

Class 5A State Championship Game
#1 Ouachita vs #2 Benton
Date: March 6th, 2020
Time: 8:00 pm
Location: Burton Coliseum - Lake Charles, LA
Key Players to Watch:
Ouachita
2020 Lafeadria Green
2020 Tia Perry
Benton
2020 Qua Chambers - ULM Signee
2021 Jada Anderson
Prediction: Ouachita wins in a close one.
Third time these two face each other after meeting twice early in the regular season. They split both matchups. While Benton's experienced guard play, led by ULM signee (Chambers) will surely keep them in the game, I think Ouachita Parish's size and depth will edge out a win to bring them their first state championship since 1953.
Class 4A State Championship Game
#1 LaGrange vs #6 Warren Easton
Date: March 7th, 2020
Time: 8:00 pm
Location: Burton Coliseum - Lake Charles, LA
Key Players to Watch:
LaGrange
2020 Nadailyn Carter
2020 Alona Gray
2021 Jeriah Warren
2021 Aasia Sam
Warren Easton
2020 Skylar Davis
2021 Breanna Sutton
Prediction: Lagrange
Coach Mimms has Warren Easton with another deep run. He definitely has made a case for being the best coach in the state for this year's run along with runs made in recent seasons. I'm looking forward to the matchup between two top-10 members of the 2021 class, Breanna Sutton and Jeriah Warren. Although they probably won't guard each other much due to defensive schemes, I am interested in seeing how they both lead their teams on this big stage. Warren Easton is trying to win their 3rd consecutive state championship. Despite the gap in championship experience, I believe Lagrange finds a way to finally win that coveted state championship.
