RUSTON, La. — The Bearcat Big Three clearly made an impact on District 2-5A in boys’ basketball.

Ruston High junior Ahmad Hudson was named MVP of District 2-5A this weekend after helping lead the Bearcats to a No. 2 seed overall in the 2025-26 LHSAA playoffs this month and is joined on the first-team by both junior KeShun Malcolm and sophomore Darren Ford.

Bearcat senior Zatterion Sutton and juniors Kohl Gray and Jasen Morgan were all named honoroable mention, as well.

“These students worked hard all year in the classroom, practice, and in games,” Ruston High Head Coach Marcus Jackson said. “The coaches in 2-5A recognized it as well and voted for them, because you can’t vote on your individual kids in the voting process. I’m so proud of these guys and although we fell short of our ultimate goal which was winning the championship, they had a great season. They are all winners in my book and I appreciate them so much.
