Ronnie Estay reminiscing about old times

I was glad to here Estay had move back to Cut Off.I had a chance to meet him, man what a nice guy.He started talking about the old times it was great to here it. We talked about when he stuffed Archie Who for a safety. I think what he was most proud about was the defense that just gave up 37 yards a game rushing for the whole year.Thanks ronnie for reliving the old days.

One of several tiger greats out of Lafourche Parish

How long until he's head coach of South Lafourche?

I thought the same thing...they could really use him and maybe when T-Bob is done at LSU his dad may want to go back to his alma mater

He was GREAT !! I believe LSU led the nation in rushing defense.

Brings back great memories from my youth. I remember following the very 1st South Lafourche team (1966) beat Jesuit in Tulane stadium in the semis, then lost to Broadmoor in Tiger stadium in the state championship. The team was led by Jrs Arthur Cantrelle and Estay.

Those kids will know the definition of pain whem he's thru with them. His idea of a conditioning program sucks monkey balls, but it works and turns you into one mean mofo. They will also puke and learn to like it. Or else.

Can Remi Prudhomme be far behind?

I just read It never rains in Tiger Stadium and it was great to hear about the players from LaFourche parish.

Joe Labruzzo was from Larose - Cutoff. Unfortunately he committed suicide.

Joe's from Lockport, not Larose. He lead one of our Lockport teams to a state championship, or maybe it was a runner up or both. Mike Hillman lead Lockport to a championship in 65'.

Yes, Arthur was as tough as they say.

Estay was my hs football coach back in 89 and 90. One day at practice, he didn't like what he was seeing and decided to put a helmet on and he lined up everyone on the team into 2 lines and there he was w/ only a helmet, no pads or cleats, and he had every single guy, one by one get about a 10 yard run and he just stood there and layed the flippers on all of us. It was intense and all of us knew what it was like to get hit by a real football player. I believe at the time he had been out of the USFL like 4-5 yrs.

I am from Lockport and here's what I was told about Labruzzo. He did grow up in Larose-CutOff. However, by the time he was near high school age, the Mayor of Lockport became his guardian and he played his high school years there. He did lead them to a runner-up finish. Mike Hillman led Lockport to back(Class B) to back (Class A)championships just after Labruzzo left for LSU. I believe LCO won a championship at the same time in Class AA with Cantrell and Estay. Two championship schools about 10 miles apart. Good times on the bayou back then.

Thanks for correcting that for me, I didn't have my records in front of me and I didn't remember the years. Labruzzo led Lockport to a 1A runner up in 60', and Mike Hillaman led Lockport to championships in 63' Class B and 64' 1A.
Those years were way before my time, but I spent weeks in the library compiling and reading old Central Lafourche, Lockport, Raceland and Holy Savior records.
Labruzzo's wife used to be my French teacher both in junior high and high school, and she lived a couple houses over from me for as long as I remembered so I just assumed he was from Lockport because of that and since he played high school ball here.
Oh, your right about it being good times on the bayou back then.
59' - St Francis (Vandebilt) runner up
59' - Thibodaux runner up
60' - Assumption runner up
60'- Lockport runner up
63' - LCO runner up
63' - Lockport championship
64' - Assumption championship
64'- Lockport championship
65' - LCO championship
66'- South Lafourche runner up
68' - Central Lafourche runner up
68'- EDW championship
69' - EDW Championship
71' - South Lafourche championship
Then you have other schools like Raceland (Mike Robichaux), Holy Savior, Terrebonne teams that don't have championships but made deep playoff runs.
John Curtis only has 50 something loses all time, funny thing is 3 of them are to Holy Savior hahaha.
