I absolutely agree... I mean Bastrop and Benton are obviously just better brands than... oh wait... That's right... They got absolutely embarrassed at home by Franklinton in the playoffs.Originally Posted by TECH88
Yeah, I guess if you're Franklinton one year out of 30 ain't bad.
i don't care who wins, I just hope the Neville QB throws for 500 yds.
Copy that!i don't care who wins, I just hope the Neville QB throws for 500 yds.

Why, so he can an SEC offer?i don't care who wins, I just hope the Neville QB throws for 500 yds.
"I highly doubt that will be the case. Neville had WMonroe beat 46 out the 48 minutes they played and WMonroe is the best team in the state. The football that's played in north la is just a better brand, IMO. I'm predicting Haynesville, WMonroe and Neville will come away with a W."
Be consistent. This year, 6 out of the 10 teams in finals are south LA teams. This year, Franklinton has absolutely beaten the crap out of the two playoff-worthy north LA teams they've played. If you say that north LA is a "better brand" this year, you are wrong.
If you are talking about history, I would challenge you to prove that. In the mean time, here is a list of schools which made the playoffs ever year from 2000-2008: Amite(S), Barbe(S), Bastrop(N), Benton(N), Bossier(N), Breaux Bridge(S), Destrahan(S), Evangel(N), Hahnville(S), Haynesville(N), Independence(S), John Curtis(S), Kentwood(S), Lutcher(S), Mangham(N), Neville(N), Notre Dame(S), Oak Grove(N), Parkview Baptist(S), Red River (N), Redemptorist(S), Rummel(S), Salmen(S), St. John (S), Teurlings Catholic(S), West Monroe(N) and West St. John(S). My count is 17 south LA to 10 north LA teams. No championships are currently held by north LA teams. If you say that north LA is a "better brand" this decade, you are wrong.
Bottom line is that if you think that being north of Alexandria is any indication of who will win this weekend, your reasoning is flawed. Feel free to have that reasoning, but it is silly. If you think north Louisiana has historically better football, you are being a homer. That's fine... but I feel confident that the facts are on my side.
But hey, I guess that's why you used the word "brand" instead of a more meaningful word.

I'm not claiming south LA football is better. I'm just saying that north LA football isn't a "better brand". FACT. Not in recent history or otherwise.
Just calling TECH88 out for being a homer :-)
Now I'm just gonna wait and let Franklinton wipe the turf with Neville to finish making the point.
All the talk at work (in BR) today was about getting there butts kicked again when the had to go up to WM/Ouachita/Ruston up north again. What was the deal about the Catholic High team having to get taped at nlulm? The ten busses of CHS fans said the trip back on the busses saw a winter wonderland at Woodville at 2 am with the bright moon and snow everywhere.
He's already signed with Tech in baseball.
that is not true. taylor burch cannot sign for baseball, or he can't play football. a player who plays football plus another sport has to walk on in both or be on a football scholarship. he cannot sign anything until he signs his football loi in februrary.
the bold, the beautiful, theprofessor
Don't believe it was a "have to" thing. Probably just a little more room to move around and only a 20 minute ride from there to WM.
Did not know that. That doesn't make much sense though.
Our duel sports offer to him was what he really liked. Football being the bell cow = always counting toward those 'ships first. Can't recall who it was, but back in the old days there was a coach who had the baseball team filled with football players.
HS smack can be as funny as other levels.
Going into the last half of the 4th Quarter of Class 5-A game, I guess you can say this year's northern Louisiana finalists just had a better brand this year than southern La. finalists. I mean it's less than 3 minutes to play and West Monroe has its second string inserted into the game. I know Rummell is being shutout, 30-0. Dang . . . almost five TDs.
PS-What was the Franklinton game score? Neville wiped them with what??
