Quarterback Ridge Turner passed for two touchdowns and ran for three more as South Plaquemines High School defeated West St. John, 48-8, on Saturday for the Louisiana Class 1A state title.

Turner threw for 197 yards, connecting with Lyle Fitte and Dylan Boutwell for touchdowns, and ran for 108, making him the game’s top rusher.

Fitte added two 2-yard runs for scores to his 66-yard touchdown reception from Turner, who set a state single-season record for total touchdowns with 69.

The Hurricanes scored three second-quarter touchdowns and led by 35-8 at the half.

This is the second season for the Hurricanes, a team formed by a consolidation of Boothville-Venice, Buras and Port Sulphur High Schools after Plaquemines Parish was devastated by hurricanes in 2005. The Hurricanes ended the season 13-2; the Rams finished 9-6.
