They went 38-2 and won their last 20 games while dominating in the playoffs. I know we have had many threads on best highschool football team ever. What past teams could match up with this years team?

I'm going to just assume some Barbe or WMHS teams could compete. Barbe has been #1 in the nation a few times.

Barbe from last year went 39-1. Scoring 355 runs and only allowing 40.

Half their games were shutouts. Doubt there is a better team than Barbe 2023.

Probably the Jesuit teams from 1960 or 1980 that were State Champs and American Legion National Champs.

Not at the level of this recent catholic team and some barbe teams.
But at a small school level 1999 Teurlings Catholic deserves a mention.
2A champs that went 29-2 and outscored the opposition 350ish to around 60.
Heck in the playoffs they outscored teams 75-3.
They probably win 5A that year.
They were that good.

Those mid 2000’s central private teams were absolutely loaded

Not sure how anyone ever beat those guys

That was quite a culture shock for my team when we went down there

One of the 2A teams that won state at Farmerville had John Albriton who was the 2A player of the year and Reuben Tatum who was the 3A player of the year two years later when they won state. The year between they lost the state championship game. Tatum was on all three teams.

I'm just kidding, but Coach Larry Stegall hat an impressive run in the mid-70's at Farmerville.

I believe they are and it’s not a debate.

I only saw Catholic play one game - against Jesuit. But they are an extraordinarily well-coached team. Everything they did in warmups and the game was done with purpose and conviction and excellent fundamentals. Fundamentally, they looked better than LSU (Catholic could lay down a bunt).

Catholic this year is without a doubt the most decorated team. As LSU777, or someone said, having out of state games count for PowerPoints was big. They played the big boy schedule and dominated.

As a Zachary guy, I’d love to see the 07 team match up with anyone in a 3 games series. 7 D1 guys, a few JUCO, and all 3 starting pitchers drafted out of high school. Also had ZVR, one of, if not the most, decorated Louisiana HS baseball player of all time. That was a fun team to watch.

From my era of HS, those early to Mid 2000 CP teams were absolutely loaded as well

1974 Rummel baseball says hold my beer.... Finished fourth in Legion World Series, when they played games and not just written on paper.

Quote from a Crescent City Sports article about the passing of long time coach Larry Schneider.

quote:

1974. The Raiders, who went undefeated in Catholic League play that year, defeated Broadmoor 8-0 on a no-hitter by Ricky Zibilich. That 1974 team, which swept prep and Legion titles and finished fourth in the Legion World Series, is considered among the greatest in New Orleans high school baseball history.
