2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

EAST CHAMBERS BUCCANEERS

2018 Record: 12-2 Overall, 6-1 District

Class 3A, Division II, Region III Finalist

 

The East Chambers Buccaneers enjoyed a historic season as Russ Sutherland's charges advanced to the State Quarterfinals which is uncharted territory in Winnie.  The 2019 Buccaneers look to repeat, if not exceed, that result.  But to do so, Head Coach Russ Sutherland will be relying on a relatively young squad (6 starters return on offense, 2 on defense).

 

Head Coach: Russ Sutherland

Assistant Coaches:  Christ Fontenot (Defensive Coordinator), Kirk Palmer (Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line), Todd East (Linebackers), Matt De Young (Defensive Backs), Chris Burdette (Running Backs), Jackie Brown (Wide Receivers), Toby Thrasher (Defensive Line), Jason Broomas (Wide Receivers), Scott Penny (Offensive Line), Tyler Chambless (Linebackers), Bryant Collier (Running Backs), Ben West (Defensive Backs)

Offense:

Six starters return on offense for East Chambers in 2019.  Senior quarterback Kam Smith (1st team all-district) will return to lead the Buccaneer offense.  Plenty of quality of experience will join him in the backfield as junior running back Ernest Ceasar and senior running back Nolton Shelvin (both 1st team all-district picks) will shoulder the East Chambers rushing load.  Senior Isaiah Hart will also see time in the backfield at fullback.  Also looking to contribute to the rushing attack will be junior backs Ja'Sean Franklin, Brayden Guillory and Mason Schepf, as well as senior Easton Revia.  Senior wide out Alejandro Lopez (2nd team all-district) will lead a Buccaneer receiver corp which will also feature Hart at tight end and newcomers, senior receivers Trent Guidry, Jacory Perrault, and Christian Simien as well as junior wide out Trey Anderson.  The Buccaneers will be young on the offensive line as returning junior offensive guard Payton Martin (2nd team all-district, 3 year starter) and junior offensive tackle Colin Broussard will be joined on the line by junior center Tristan Stewart and sophomore guard Slade Parnell.

Defense:

Two starters return to the East Chambers defense in 2019.  The young defensive line will include Stewart, Martin and Franklin at defensive tackle and Parnell at defensive end.  The linebacker corp should be the strength of this defense as it features the only 2 starters returning, inside linebacker Hart (Leading tackler in 2018, 1st team all-district) and outside linebacker Simien (2nd team all-district, 2nd leading tackler).  They will be joined by Revia, Schepf (at outside linebacker), senior Zack Busby and sophomore Cooper McKay.  Free safety Ceasar, freshman safety Jacoby Perrault and cornerbacks Guillory and Anderson will patrol the Buccaneer secondary.

Special Teams:

Senior kicker Jose Chavez (2nd team all-state and 4 year starter) returns in 2019 to handle the place kicking for East Chambers while senior Jesus Lopez will be counted on to do the punting.  The Buccaneers should be explosive in the return game as Ceasar and Shelvin will be returning kicks, if opponents kick to them....something teams avoided last year.
