re: LHSAA Bi-District Playoffs Round 2

My crow? What crow? Even your link contradicts what you said happened on here. So WTF happened? Did anything really happen? Does it really matter?

Did Leonard really need to be "disrespected" to go off against that STM defense? Really? Why did it take being disrespected to dominate an opponent? If this episode really happened is it in Leonard or St Aug's best interest to put it in the media? Aug decisively beat a team by 26 pts on their own field, why did Crutch feel the need to try to embarrass them in the media as well? Vindictiveness? Is it some sort of warning to other teams? Seems very petty to me

Wouldn't the story have read better for Crutch, Aug and Leonard if it was "STM is a great program and we knew we had to play our best to win. The team didn't play their best but Leonard was the difference in the game. We know we will have to play better than we did to beat a tough team like Karr and with Leonard on our side we know we always have a great chance to win"

You know, a little class.

Instead you have an article that implies Aug has underachieved, had a disappointing season even though they are a 7-3 team, has struggled with believing in their coaches and scheme and needed an alleged insult to motivate the best RB in the state to dominate an opponent in a playoff game.

What "crow" am I supposed to be eating again?

FTR I got a golden opportunity to meet and spend some time with Coach Griff years ago. It was a great experience for me. He is the epitome of grace and class and he will always represent St Aug Athletics to me. Something tells me griff would not think very highly of crutch's methods, antics or representation of St Aug in the public and in the media. It is very telling to me that an Aug guy brought his team to STM last year and won with class, but the guy who now coaches Aug is classless.

But it really doesn't matter does it?

I hope victor doesn't put his "nuts in their faces" or anyone's face for that matter. And I still consider myself a distant fan of St Aug.

Last year before 5A...that was 4A Finals

ETA: it was 1990

everything there is true

Aug was ranked in the national top 100 at the beginning of the season. you have a blue-chip hoss at RB, talent around him, and a say what you want but he's a champion coach.

Rummel's gonna win 5A so i'd excuse that loss, but this team was (is) better than Holy Cross and East Jeff.

1992 was Charlie Brown's last season. Neville lost on a missed PAT against Carencro and sophomore Kevin Faulk.

I totally understand ur point about Griff. I was just letting u know the man was an arse at times. Your point was spot on. What I didn't get was you saying the bball coach they have now who is Mitchell Johnson is classless?

JJ great coach......If I had to guess this may be his last year as a HS coach.....

I talked to a kid sat that the reason he is heading to carrolton and banks and not AP tureaud is crutch...

and his daddy won a state title at st. aug.(two in fact)

i bet for every one they lose they gain at least a few...

IF JJ was at St. Aug... this kid would have been there without blinking.

Ah, ok .... That was before my time. I was born in 88.

Anyone think Rummel may struggle against Ouachita? Making the long trip up north could have an effect on the Raiders.

I think so, and I'm a Rummel grad. Rummel always struggles with the bigger and more physical northern teams. The 4 and a half/5 hour trip does not help either. Hopefully, I'm wrong.
