Lloyd G Porter stadium is not @ Westgate. It's also not @ NISH. It's at NISH's old high School. NISH and Westgate share the stadium.

the stadium is about 50+ years old.

Negative. How many 1s have lost to a 32? I know edwhite did in 02. Harry Coleman was a fresh or soph at w st Mary burnt them as a rec. And EDW had beat them earlier in season.



I only care about 5A, i guess i should have clarified. They play weak ball in those other classes, esp below 4A

I only follow 3A closely but I know that teams like Parkview, Patterson, and Redemptorist routinely play and beat 5A teams which includes some of the better ones. And if not they hang with em.
Plus you have Evangel and Curtis in 2A who can play with anyone in the state.

Not one to say 5A is far superior because it's not, but what good 5A teams have those teams listed beat?

Perhaps not this year, but I know that Patterson beat Westgate easily last year before they came within a point of a 5A state championship appearance. They also lost to Hahnville by 1 point the year after they won a state championship and Hahnville went to the semis that years.

This year Parkview lost by only 2 TDs to an Acadiana team who has destroyed every other opponent besides STM as is clearly one of the state's best teams. And last year they beat a future quarter-finalist in Acadiana by nearly 3 TDs.

This and you have to include teams like Lutcher who used to be 3A and had a couple years where they were arguably the best team in the state.

It's not quite the same this year with Lutcher and St. Charles leaving, and St. James having a down year but following 3A through the years has shown me that it is the single toughest bracket to get through. West Monroe always makes the Dome, as well as Evangel and Curtis. 1A has been South Plaqs for several years now and used to be all about West St. John. 3A never has a team win back to back and only a couple even have 2 in the last 10-15 years. That is what I deem competition, not just 1 team winning it every year.

Gotcha, like I said there isn't a 3A presence in North LA. We rarely get to see any of the good teams up here.

Yea, all the good ones are in the south. Occasionally you'll get a Rayville or Benton type team, but it's only for a year or two and not consistent like the south LA teams.

Not saying that all of them could beat the 5A champion every year, but whoever wins 3A is a legit top 5-10 team in the state all teams included.

Bitterman is touting the Acadiana/STM game as the most important football game in Lafayette history.

It should be at Cajun Field.

But it's going to be West Monroe vs. Acadiana in the Dome.

27 seed in the Dome!

An 8 team playoff is not going to include teams like that.
