I would LOVE to see a true, separate, ELITE organization and playoff of the very best programs in the state. Won't happen...but I would welcome it.

That's a big 10-4.

I'll be there in Natty all four days.

I have no dog in this fight, and don't care who wins. This is just my prediction based on what I know about the teams.

C-BR 35 Byrd 12

No surprise there. Congrats to the Bears.

In a rematch of last year's Division III final:

Lafayette Christian 12, St. Charles Catholic 7. Final.


Frank Monica and SCC Comets nearly pulled the upset.

St. Thomas More defeats De La Salle 35-28 in the Division II final.

Both late games on Monday turned into thrillers.

Hats off to Natchitoches for fulfilling LHSAA's Plan B move this year away from the NOLA mayor and the Dome.

Very community supported by the university personnel. People had trouble finding places open after night games after 8 pm.

Sometimes the coordination between the various factions is not present. The Hall of Fame extended its hours to accommodate visitors, but most of the private businesses, including restaurants were not alerted and some never even knew the event was being held. I was a liaison between NSU and the city and the chamber of commerce some years back, in my role as Director of the SBDC, and even then it was like pulling teeth to get information ahead of time.

Holler next time you head this way.

Trophy finally arrived

That's awesome. I'd love to see the members of that team have some type of ceremony, either on the field at NSU or at the Hall of Fame.

So it took OVER A YEAR, to get the trophy? Why is the trophy arriving so late? The trophy doesn't look like it's got any kind of special engraving or anything on it that couldn't have been finalized before game day in 2020. Kinda looks like standard stuff.

Byrd did not win it on the field. Catholic whooped us in the championship. However, Catholic was forced to forfeit multiple state championships in June & the trophy finally arrived.
