assists, two blocks, and five steals were rewarded with the much-deserved designation of

Knights took advantage; and
WHEREAS, the distinguished team performance of the entire Lafayette Christian
Academy Knights basketball team throughout the regular season and the postseason has
earned them the Division IV state championship title; and
WHEREAS, the amazing accomplishments of the team could not have been achieved
without the guidance and skills of head coach, Byron Starks, and assistant coaches,
Christopher Poullard, Josiah Broussard, Joshua Comeaux, and Christopher Cane, as well as
all of the other individuals who have contributed to the success of the Lafayette Christian
Academy Knights basketball program.
