Chris Taylor

Help us welcome Coach Chrislip to the Bearcat Family as our new Head Softball Coach!

📍 Ruston The Bearcats have as much potential as anyone in the state again in 2026. A pair of pass-catchers committed to P4 college programs this weekend, and several of their teammates in this class and beyond will do so before their respective signing days.

ICYMI: Ahmad Hudson chose LSU over the weekend. But what tipped the scales towards the Tigers for the Ruston High star? I spoke with @AhmadHudson9 following his big decision: rustonleader.com/sports/ahmad-h…

.@RustonBaseball's 1st Team All-District selections: Jackson Lee named Player of the Year. Hit. 450 with a 1.293 OPS this year. (P) Tyler Roach, Peyton Nations (IF) Jackson Burroughs, Nolan Parnell (C) Lander Smith (OF) JP Moak (DH) Sam Hartwell (UT) Hudson Wood, Kenden Freeman

BREAKING: #LSU has landed a commitment from the No. 1 tight end in America: Ahmad Hudson. The 6’6, 240-pound dual-sport phenom will remain in The Boot and suit up for the Bayou Bengals. Lane Kiffin and Co. secure the coveted playmaker. Just a massive pledge for the Tigers.

I am EXTREMELY EXCITED to announce my commitment to the University of Houston!!! H-Town let’s work!!! Go Coogs‼️ @JerrodBaugh @c_gatlin @Novakayne8 @Youngbullz22 @Bell_Brian_ @wesley_fritz @UHCougarFB
