    He never played a character that I didn't like. He was also good in MacKenna's Gold and The Night of the Generals and more recently in Hidalgo and The 13th Warrior

    Ex-Ruston High coach Chick Childress dies at 83

    The state of Louisiana lost one of its most revered high school football coaches on Sunday.

    Jimmy "Chick" Childress, the face of Ruston High School football for 12 seasons and a former baseball coach at ULM, died at Northern Louisiana Medical Center in Ruston. He was 83.

    Childress built Ruston in his image with a punishing offense and stifling defense, leading his alma mater to a 131-27 (82 percent) record and four Class 4A state championships in 1982, 1986, 1988 and 1990. His body of work while on the sidelines of James Field at L.J. "Hoss" Garrett Stadium earned him a place in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2001.

    The Bearcats brought a high school national championship to Lincoln Parish in 1990 following a 52-10 win over Catholic-Baton Rouge in that season's 4A state title game.

    Ruston football in the 1980s was defined by championship gold and intense battles with Neville. Childress understood the historic rivalry from both side having spent 15 years coaching alongside Bill Ruple and Charlie Brown at Neville.

    The two schools met twice for state titles on the Superdome turf. Ruston beat Neville 8-0 in 1982 and set a 4A Prep Classic record for most punts (9) and punt returns (7) by one team.

    Ruston's record 52 points scored in the 1990 Class 4A state title game still stands today.

    If he would have stayed at LSU just a few more seasons they would have won a national title.

    If he had been the coach in 1987 it's likely he would have called for a field goal against Ohio State instead of the pass that Hodson' got intercepted and caused the tie. They finished 10-1-1 that year. Who was the loss to?
