Week in and week out this Gator team put together a winning strategy. Weather it was giving it to their star running back, Philip Livas, or using him as a distraction to open up opportunities for others, they always found a way to prevail. During this undefeated 2006 campaign many great plays were made in their winning efforts, and some of these even ended up in the breaking of many records. This 2006 team broke and surpassed 16 of the schools records, 11 of these records were broken by one of their senior captains and star running back Philip Livas.
With 21 seniors, South Terrebonne came into this season as one of the favorites to win this district and they did not disappoint. Congratulations to the undefeated 2006 District 6-5A Champions, the South Terrebonne Gators (scene to the left), on an incredible and exciting season.
