The Brother Martin-Jesuit rugby state final stayed close until the winner pulled away at the end
Brother Martin kept Jesuit from scoring in the second half of a 22-10 victory that earned the Crusaders a Louisiana Rugby high school championship Wednesday at the Shrine on Airline.
Maverick Trimble, Bronson Perez, Nathan Blount and Blake Cordova each brought the ball across the goal line for a try that was worth five points each, and J.D. Ward kicked a conversion through the uprights that was worth two points.
Brother Martin scored the first try and never trailed. Perez scored off a feed from Cameron Coughlin for the try that broke a tie and put Brother Martin ahead 12-7 before halftime.
Coughlin, a senior, was selected as the most valuable player for his contributions while playing the scrum-half position, which is likened to being a quarterback.
Brother Martin, which led 12-10 at the break, won after it lost the past three state championship matches to Jesuit. Brother Martin scored its final try with just minutes remaining.
“It was nice to see the boys so happy,” said Brother Martin coach Gary Giepert, a 1980 graduate who has been the coach since he helped his alma mater start a rugby program in 2002.
MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Shelby Bordelon of Iberville Parish was crowned Miss Louisiana 2026 Saturday night in Monroe, earning the title and a $15,000 scholarship. Bordelon, a graduate student at Southeastern Louisiana University, said the role is about more than pageantry, emphasizing the yearlong service mission tied to the crown.
“Part of the mission of this organization is the service behind it,” Bordelon said. “And the service is so important, you are serving your state for a year… having the opportunities to connect with others… to continue making an impact and leaving my mark on others as well.”
Bordelon, who finished first runner-up in last year’s competition, said the moment her name was called as the winner still hasn’t fully sunk in.
“It was every emotion you could think of that was running through my mind at that moment,” she said, adding she focused on preparation and perspective this year. “I really wanted to go into this year with no regrets… just really trusting in that mindset and that plan.”
Bordelon said she hopes to use her platform to raise awareness for her nonprofit, Claire’s Promise, which focuses on combating drunk driving.
