Definitely. You'll start to see some of those kids that would normally go to Salmen start playing for Slidell..book it.

Favre is definitely going to do some good things there but it is going to be very very hard to steal kids from Salmen. I think Favre will have to take Slidell to the dome and or win it to steal kids from Salmen. Salmen has been a WAY better football program than Slidell for a very long time.

Favre is a great coach but the landscape of the northshore district has changed dramatically. When Favre was at FHS they were the largest school in the state. The year he made the semis he had 2 SEC RBs. He only won one playoff game outside of that semifinal year. As long as SPS keeps rolling and Lecompte is at MHS they are still the two teams to beat. If Covington ever figures it out they would be dangerous. Hell even Ponchy is a playoff team every year under Tierney which is a lot better than they were when Favre was at FHS. Also Lakeshore will probably be in the 5a district in two years. They have tons of skill. They have the potential to turn into what FHS was. The 2nd go around for Favre will definitely be a lot tougher than the first.

FYI - I found out today Northshore's HC may have to have surgery and could miss the season. He is a good guy working his butt off at a very hard school to win at.
