Part 1

Part 2

Thoughts: Hard to argue with Mark "Super" Duper getting the nod for Avoyelles, but no Chad Lavalais in the honorable mention?

Must have been hard to narrow down the field for certain parishes (EBR, Orleans, Jefferson, Caddo, Ouachita, Lafayette, River Parishes, etc)

No Ed O for Lafourche

Not sure how I was not mentioned for Jefferson Parish.

I was a big deal at Bright back in the day...

Chris Duhon for Evangeline parish is a stretch.

I would think that Jefferson and Orleans Parish would be no-brainers, Mel Ott and Peyton Manning. DId they chose someone other than those two?

I could have added quite a few others for Ouachita Parish. Bill Russell was never an athlete while in Ouachita, he moved when he was 8.

Bradie James, Andrew Whitworth, Bubby Brister, Don Redden, Tommy Banks, Benoit Benjamin, Richard Savage and Toby Caston are a few others that deserve mention. I seem to remember Dallas Cowboys' TE Billy Joe Dupree was from West Monroe but like Russell he may have moved away at an early age.

I will have to disagree with the pick for Tangipohoa Parish.


While Jackie Smith is a good pick being a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the all time great tight ends. I don't think it tops Kim Mulkey who won 4 state championships at Hammond High. 2 national championships at La Tech was a All American. Then went on to win a Gold medal in 1984.

I am not really a fan of women's basketball but you can't argue with these accomplishments.

It's a shame that neither Anthony Lucas or Lonnie Cooper are listed anywhere in the Madison Parish write up.

I had 10 bucks on Mind that Bird to win just to bet a longshot. Still get chills watching Borel make that move...so fast even the announcers got left behind.

Elvin Hayes, Willis Reed, and Bill Russell all within 40 miles, not mention Karl Malone a couple of parishes over.
