No, we don't. That's why I knew Byrd would have no trouble with Catholic. We do, however, have college football. Do they have that in North Louisiana?Originally Posted by maddawg
Seriously, though. Most of our best teams are in the smaller divisions. I think that's due to the larger number of private schools, and really, just regular schools. Our talent pool at each school is watered down to a larger degree than it is up there. Plus, as I've said before, down here there is not as much support for high school sports as there is for college. Most high school alums down here may go back for one or two games a year, and I doubt that there are many people who will go see a neutral game like the WM/Evangel game drew last year. I've been to 2, maybe 3, Redemptorist games since I graduated nearly 20 years ago and one of those was only because I went to see Shelton Sampson and John Black, and then it was only because I had a friend from Benton down here that wanted to go otherwise I would not have gone. I also have only been to one neutral game and that was to see Catholic and Carencro and once again that was because of my friend from Benton.
