Town most historically underrepresented on LSU rosters

I was thinking about this tonight, and Natchitoches was what I came up with. I couldn't think of a recent football or basketball player from there. Maybe there's been a baseball player, I don't follow it as closely. Without looking it up, I can't come up with anyone from Natchitoches who has played for LSU in a major sport, although I'm sure there are some. For a decent sized town, it doesn't produce many D-1 athletes. I guess Joe Dumars is the notable exception, and he was a sleeper.
Alexandria has to be a close second.

You may want to make a note defining size of town. I mean, I can't think of anyone from Dry Prong (sounds like a medicated cream could cure) that has played for LSU.

Easily, Grand Isle has to be the town

Maybe Sulphur. Besides Tahj Jones and the DT who quit to become a rapper, you have to go back to the 80's to find a player from there.
Agree with Alexandria.

For the size and number of high schools, Houma/Terrebonne Parish has always amazed me how few athletes have gone to play for LSU, or any division 1 school for that matter.

Natchitoches produced the 1992 NL Rookie of the Year, Pat Listach. He was born in Natchitoches in 1967 and, according to Baseball Almanac, attended Natchitoches Central High School followed by McLellan Junior College and Arizona State University.

The whole stretch of I-49 from Ville Platte north to Natchitoches, including Bunkie and Alexandria. There is a relatively large black population in this area as well.

Bossier City is a decent sized town with Airline, Parkway and Bossier HS. Can't think of any football players that went to LSU.
Todd Walker is the obvious name in baseball.
David Toms the obvious name in golf.

CenLa definitely produces the least amount of talent anywhere in the state. That is true.
The last kid who was worth a shite from Alexandria was Chris Brown. He was the same year as Keiland and Charles Scott so we didn't take him. He played at OU and did well.

Tensas parish has never produced an LSU athlete to my knowledge. If it has it's been a loooong arse time.
Although that's not surprising at all
