Red River Parish’s Anyla Young was crowned Miss AKA Debutante 2024 at the annual Debutante ball in Natchitoches. Young, the daughter of Anthony and Enisha Young, is the first in Red River Parish to be bestowed the honor.

Escorted by another Red River native, Zylon Newman, Young garnered a crown, trophy, and most importantly a scholarship for her educational future.

Everyone on her team said thank you to the people of Red River Parish for working with them to help Young with all her efforts.

A recent story in the RRPJ featured Miss Young during the Coats for Kids drive at Red River Elementary.
