I always thought that Houma/Terrebonne Parish was very under-represented on LSU rosters across all sports. For a fairly populous area with a lot of high schools and kids who play sports, there's just not a lot of potential LSU players.

It's especially odd when you consider that just down the road, smaller Thibodaux has produced a fair number of division 1 players.

Houma may not be the greatest football talent spot in the world, but I do know it's produced some solid high school baseball players over the years, consistently. I've never understood why none of them seem to wind up at LSU.

I think Dozar was from Morgan City....close enough to Houma right?

For the size of the area, the fact that it is growing at a rate like it is, this statement is very true.

Had talked about this in other threads with guys and the main thing I think behind it is that there aren't a ton of great high school coaches in the area... Lafourche included, even though Thibodaux does produce. The coaching things has gotten better in the last two years IMO... just waiting for results.

I also agree with the Alexandria thought that they do not have much talent going to BR for a city/town of its size.
