NSU Demon football season canceled following athlete’s murder

NSU Demon football season canceled following athlete’s murder

Northwestern State University announced today, October 26, that it has canceled the remainder of the 2023 football season due to the recent passing of junior safety, Ronnie Caldwell. The school cites the mental health and wellbeing of its student-athletes as the primary reason for its decision.

“Ronnie was a beloved member of our community, and we miss him dearly,” said President Marcus Jones. “While our instinct was to return to the field of play following his death, we’ve since learned that the hurt on our team was too deep. Now it is in the best interest of our players, coaches, and staff to pause and to take this time to mourn, to heal, and to support Ronnie’s family.”

The school has also accepted the resignation of head coach, Brad Laird, who was in his sixth season as head coach of the Demons football team.

After the Many Tigers soundly defeated DeRidder 34-13 on September 8, the team put on quite the performance to win 45-42 over Haughton in double overtime on September 15.

The Haughton Buccaneers kicked off to begin the game and within minutes the Many Tigers were in the red zone and looking to score. It’d be Jeremiah James with a 14-yard rushing touchdown to put the Tigers on the board first. The point attempt by Deacon Lafollette saw the score move to 7-0.

The Buccaneers answered back immediately and tied the game 7-7, which is how the score remained the rest of the first quarter.

Shortly into the second quarter of play, a pass gave the Buccaneers their first lead of the game 147. Later, a 50-yard pass completed to Jamarion Montgomery saw them score again and bring the score to 21-7.

The Tigers scored minutes later when Tylen Singleton hit paydirt on a 16-yard run to make the score 21-14 with the Buccaneers still in the lead.

His son, Troy Neal Terrell, is a 1990 graduate of Converse High School and he now lives with his wife Tiffany and two sons in Stonewall. He recalled he played basketball at the same time Bert West was at Zwolle.

Troy was the top player at Converse at the time and made the All-District, the All State and the Louisiana All Star Team which played in Baton Rouge that year. He received a scholarship from Coach Mike McConathy, who was coach at Bossier Parish Community College at the time. He later transferred to East Texas Baptist University for Bert West.

For 27 years he conducted camps around the country called “Dynamite Basketball.” He explained, “They were free, and we went to some of the worst neighborhoods in America. We reached 60,000 kids. We helped over 2,000 go to college and helped 3,300 get their GED. We gave these boys hope and encouragement.”

By Ramona Moore The Many Bass Club’s June 2023 Tournament took place on Saturday, June 10, and Sunday June 11, on Toledo Bend. Ten anglers participated in the tournament. Four of the anglers weighed in a full five fish limit. The weather on Saturday was overcast early with a strong west wind which shifted south and blew significantly harder in the afternoon as a front approached from the north which was followed by a squall line with 50 MPH winds, driving rain and hail. The club weigh-in on Saturday was completed just ahead of the strong storm, and thankfully none of our anglers were caught on the Lake by this dangerous weather. Sunday was overcast and breezy with strong southwest winds with temps near ninety, and the bite was negatively impacted by the previous afternoon’s storms. The Lake level was 171.3’, and the fish were scattered in the water column. The water temps were in the mid-eighties.
