LAFAYETTE — A nearly two-hour weather delay and a ruling that deemed the course unplayable couldn’t stop Ascension Episcopal from adding another title to its storied legacy.
The Blue Gators entered Tuesday in the lead at the Division III state golf tournament, needing a strong showing to claim their seventh consecutive championship. But Mother Nature had other plans. After storms rolled in, the course was officially ruled unplayable and scores were counted through 27 holes instead of the full 36.
Despite the adjustment, Ascension Episcopal was declared the winner — continuing a dynasty that shows no signs of slowing down.
“I think it’s unprecedented,” said head coach Logan Ray. “It speaks volumes about the school’s commitment to the golf program, but also the players. They understand they’re playing for more than themselves. There’s a tradition here, and you don’t want to be the team that breaks up the dynasty. They certainly performed well this week.”
Sophomore Noah Chauvin led the charge, shooting a 2-under 106 to claim his second individual gold medal.
“It was super important,” Chauvin said. “The wind started blowing early and made it difficult. I doubled my first hole, but I birdied the next two and that helped us win a state championship. Feels good.”
The team says their post-title tradition continues — a celebratory meal at El Paso Mexican Grill in Youngsville — before setting their sights on an eighth straight title in 2026.
