STATE CHAMPS baby!!!!!
Just got home....came in on Cloud 9!
See where John Curtis is now the #1 team in the nation. Hmmm...they weren't even the best team in the Dome yesterday. In fact, they weren't even 2nd best. Parkview Baptist is much more impressive. Gonna be interesting when Curtis and Evangel move up to 3A next year. PB is up there waiting on 'em. Don't know who the PB coach is, but that guy should consider a career move.....up! Like on to the college ranks perhaps.
As for my Raiders, well, DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS! Gotta give that Barbe QB (Fontenot) credit, he's a gamer and makes plays. Wow! cut from the same mold as Johnny Football. But in the end, our D corraled him enough.
State Champs! (like the sound of that :))
Congrats!!

I'm a Barbe alum and was at the game last night. It's disappointing we couldn't get the W, but we have a lot juniors on the team and if we can get past West Monroe again next year, I think we can finally get a championship. Honestly, the West Monroe game would have been pretty hard to top last night. Three touchdowns in the last 2 minutes in front of a home crowd against the team that has stopped us from getting to the dome every time for that last few years was pretty epic. Congrats to Rummel though. They definitely played better than us and Kennon Fontenot looked like he was second guessing himself for most of the second half.
If Barbe has a bunch of starters coming back next year, they will definitely have a shot at winning it all. Good luck!
Also, want to mention that the Barbe fans were pure class, before, during, and after the game.
Barbe beat Rummel just this past May for the state baseball championship (3-2). So, it was our turn!
As for the Raiders FB, we had a good number of seniors and will have to rebuild. If we go 7-3, or even 6-4, and make the playoffs next year, that'll be an accomplishment with a "new" team. But, that's the way it is when you're not a football factory.
So, again, congrats to the Bucs for a super season, and thanks for the class displayed by all connected to Barbe football.
I was actually at this game Saturday night, with a good friend of mine whose wife is on the staff with Rummel. It was an amazing atmosphere.
The Dome is loud! Even 33K can make a bunch of noise.Quote:
