What happened to West Jeff football? They used to be pretty good. I was at their game this week and they got shutout by Belle Chasse and had about 15 people in the stands for a game that was less than twenty minutes away from their campus


Demographics happened. The school these days is full of non-football playing kids who really don't care much for school pride. All of their programs - athletics, band, etc, are down.

West Jeff hasn't been good in football for 10 years, if not more.

Even Ehret is far below their historial standard.

This is happening throughout Jefferson Parish. I know a number of years ago, they cut middle school athletics. Does anyone know if it was ever restored?

Also, Chalmette tonight is hosting the regional marching band competition.

The only Jefferson Parish schools participating are Kenner Discovery (a charter) and Riverdale.

Willie Brooks left to become an assistant at Ehret and they got the former coach from Southern-Shreveport… a program which was pretty short lived and didn’t know if it was a club team or a JUCO. A lot of t’s were not crossed and i’s not dotted. Thing about football is, you can’t cheat a process, and you are what you’re a part of...

And since Katrina, while Chalmette fans have enjoyed incredible consistency and stability with their growth, Jefferson Parish has added 3A Haynes, 3A Thomas Jefferson, 3A Patrick Taylor, 4A Kenner Discovery, 2A Jefferson Rise, and now recently 3A Young Audiences… only just recently did they get rid of Helen Cox and Grace King to compensate for that
