Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

Coach Rankins is known throughout Louisiana and the United States. One of Coach's friends happens to be Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards. Coach Rankins' invitation to an LSU football game at the famous LSU Tiger Stadium is one of the best highlights in Coach's life recently. Attending the LSU football game with Governor Edwards, viewing tens of thousand fans, and being in the Governor's Tiger Stadium Sky Box left Coach Rankins, a man of many words, speechless. Congratulations on receiving your flowers while you can smell them Coach!
