Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson states “I would like to congratulate the Rayville High School Coaching staff and players on a job well done for winning the Class 2A State Championship and maintaining an undefeated record of 35-0.  This was said to be one of the best seasons in LHSAA history, so thanks be to God.  This town should join in on commending our young people.  Let them know when they have done something positive.  Something that we can be proud of.  Parents let us work together in displaying a positive image before  our kids. We should continue to lead them in a positive direction.”  

Chief Robinson also states that all motorist should be mindful of their speed. 

“By now, it should be obvious that my officers will catch you speeding and citations will be issued,” he said. “Make sure that the vehicle that you are operating is up to standards on the necessary paperwork.  I also encourage all to please buckle up. It’s the law.”

Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by the Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison St. or to call 728-4431 if you need his help in any way.
