BATON ROUGE - The Parkview Baptist Eagles are looking to build on the foundation laid a season ago, but ascend to new heights in 2026 due to the large number of returning players they have on their roster.

Head coach Devin Ducote led the Eagles to a 6-6 record a season ago but with 12-14 players returning from that team he feels like they can level up this season and continue their cause to reach their potential.

Quarterback Grayson Rogers is back for a full-time starting role and running back Marquis Franklin returns after a 2,000 yard rushing effort in 2025.

A pair of starters on the offensive line and a veteran defensive unit has Coach Ducote feeling like they have the pieces on this years Eagle roster to playing deep into the playoffs once again.
