Haha. You haven't seen Rummel play this year have you?

in person once.. on film

6 games.... got a nephew that plays.....for rummel

ouchita in person none on film 4....

I have seen both practice in person......

Funny ya;ll always say I am anti new orleans and catholic league - yet folks outside NOLA that read my football blog - say I am a catholic league guy.. heck even one of my son's coaches calls me a catholic league guy.

MOST folks only see or know in depth about football in their metro areas... I talk to coaches, referees and retired coaches all over the state...

Heck - every year I am asked to get back into coaching and refereeing - not gonna happen - I like being able to watch my kid play... and watching whomever I want to.


What I DON"T do is buy into the NoLa and more importantly catholic league superiority complex.

This ouchita team - is the biggest and fastest team rummel will play to date. They have just enough speed and are physical enough to give them a lot of trouble... DO i think rummel will still win - yes... but it's gonna be a lot closer than many of you think - If ouchita gets a break or two rummel could be in trouble..

I do think this is that catholic league's best shot at a state title since 97......

Historically - playing in the monroe are and monroe area teams has been very bad for NoLa schools.. especially the catholic league schools... the one notable exception is ouchita... but the lions still have an overall winning vs catholic league.


Rummel had a lot of trouble with a weak DS team - but the qb was banged up..

what you folks in nola never seem to realize is there is awfully good football outside of new orleans...

and I like Jay Roth.... heck we were even very briefly team mates... I hope they win state - I just don't like the remaining matchups for them...
