A three-peat in girls basketball led to Lafayette Christian Academy dominating girls honors, while two boys champions, George Washington Carver and Bossier, claimed top boys honors on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 4A all-state teams.
Lafayette Christian’s Jada Richard and Errol Rogers collected girls Outstanding Player and Coach of the Year honors, respectively. Bossier star Tahj Roots Tahj Roots 5'10" | PG Bossier | 2023 State LA earned the earned the Outstanding Player nod and Carver’s Nathaniel Roche notched coach of the year accolades.
Richard, a recent LSU commitment, averaged 28.2 points per game, five assists, four steals and five rebounds as a junior.
After scoring 831 points this season, the 2024 prospect now has 2,021 total points in three years of varsity action.
Rogers has led the Knights to three consecutive state championships across three divisions, including a 28-2 record and a Division II select title in 2022-23.
En route to capturing a nonselect Division II title, Roots averaged 19.7 points per game as a sharpshooter for the Bearkats. He helped power Bossier to victories over No. 1 Wossman and No. 3 Carroll at the LHSAA tournament.
On the select side, Roche led his No. 6 seed Rams to a Division II select title with wins against the No. 1 seed Madison Prep, No. 2 seed Peabody and No. 3 seed Archbishop Hannan. This came after graduating multiple players for his team that won a Class 4A title in 2022 as the No. 1 seed.
