I don't know about Ned but Brady is already enrolled at Rusk HS and his wife just got hired as an assistant principal at the elementary school there

Brady Barrier will be a sophomore at Rusk HS and will play football. His father is Coach Ned Barrier and will coach on the offensive side.  I am Nathan Barrier (Pap), Ned's father and Brady's grandfather.  I began coaching in 1971 and am retired.  I encourage Rusk fans to buckle up & hold on tight.

Wish him the best. They have a pretty good group coming up from 8th grade that will support him well.

I heard that in the past no one would go to the Rusk football games.  To solve the problem, they started doing Friday night field trips from the local mental institution to the football games and now the atmosphere is wild.  Like Mr. Barrier said...buckle up!

*heard that from a coworker.

Pretty sure Rusk attendance at Football games will be much higher than that of Anahuac.

Great community!!!!!!

I dunno, Anahuac is growing and very well might win district. There is a buzz in the air and attendance is likely going up. Meanwhile Rusk will have to contend with Carthage, I believe. It will be interesting to see how many district titles each school has, and how many playoff wins each program captures over the next three years.

Bigger community and bigger school.  Never mentioned District Championships.  It is almost a given the University of Carthage will take the top spot.

Rusk is not going to win any district championships as long as they are in the district with Carthage and nor will anyone else in the state for 4A if they were in the district. However, Rusk has no problem with attendance and has a good fanbase.

That was simply a miracle… it’s been stated several times that people just don’t understand the level of talent at Carthage the next 3-4 years.

Is 2021 in 2023? Why not bring up the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s? If Carthage was beat in the 1980s that means they can be beat in 2023, right? 

Completely different group of players on the team now, I think? 

[forREALtho]

Nice first game for the sophomore. 

19-39-0  301 yards   3 TDs

I’m dumb… thought we were talking about the Carthage QB for some reason 😂😂

[forREALtho]

Sorry don’t know anything bout Carthage QB.

Barrier is the absolute truth from the QB position. Look for Rusk to improve greatly over the next three seasons.

He is a great QB. However, Rusk has had two consecutive D1 QBs. The first one was a 4 star. Be tough to top his performance.
