Shoutout to Hahnville High School beating Evangel in 2003

I knew Evangel was dominating around that time, but didn’t realize it was this much

Haynesville had a run that was crazy, JC didn't want to play them during that stretch, no one did lol. Bobby Ray Tell and those boys were ridiculous. Ask West Monroe

When I read the title, I immediately thought of dominance by production of team accolades and titles, not individual players. And like the LHSAA does now, I think you need two categories, private and public. I have no interest in recognizing the athletic accomplishments of private schools compared to public. I've experienced that, watching the private school recruits and handpicked athletes beat up on public schools. I lived through the glory years of the Haynesville run since Springhill played them annually the first game of the season in football. My first year in Springhill we lost only two football games: the first one against 1A Haynesville (we were 2A) 8-6 and the last one against Jonesboro-Hodge in the 2A state championship game. That was at the start of Haynesville's run of championships. They were amazing. They executed just as good the first game as the last game of the season. One of Coach Franklin's sons told me they really only ran 5 or 6 different plays. At least once a game they'd score a TD on a punt or kick return. When my son played against Haynesville years later, he said they hit harder than any other team they played, including Evangel. Haynesville even beat a really good 5A West Monroe during their run.

Curtis has no doubt been the standard not just in Louisiana, but nationally in high school football.

That would be De La Salle in Concorde, California. Btw, they wiped the field with Evangel back in Evangel's heyday...look it up.

De La Salle does it with many high end players on the west coast and is no doubt a prominent program nationally. To me, Curtis is more impressive because they don’t have future elite college players every year but still win at a high rate in one of the most competitive states for high school football. No one is more consistent than JC.

And couldn’t beat WM in the Dome consistently.

If you’re talking those years, WM falls in front because of state championships IMO.

Barbe baseball has had a pretty incredible track record of winning and producing talent since the 90s and still continues. I don’t think we have anything that even compares other than Curtis and their ridiculous number of championships.

Curtis won a ton of theirs at 4A before the reclassification as a 2A school. Evangel won several of theirs at 1A or 2A before they started playing 5A. When they started playing 5A, WM was a big problem.

Years back USA Today had DeLa Salle ranked #1, I sent an E-Mail to the guy at the paper, telling him if he keeps ranking that California team #1, USA Today needs to fire you!
I figured he would reply, an he did. So once I hooked him, I sent him this reply.
“The best team in the Nation is West Monroe, they beat Midland Lee, 36-8, Lee had Cedric Benson, and Winston the big OT that played a number of years in the Pro’s. That was the only loss Lee had, they ended up winning the State title in Texas. West Monroe went to Moss Point Mississippi, beat them, Moss Point went on to win state in Mississippi. Then WM only allowed 7.3 ppg, shutout 5 teams that season. They shutout 3 teams in the playoffs. Beat Shaw 35-7 in the final game.

Not advocating for all-time, but the 2010s' decade I will advocate for Rummel with their excellent run from 2012-2019. 3 titles in 8 years. 1 runner-up.

2012 - 14-0 Undefeated State Champs
- 35 to 14 vs Barbe in Final
2013 - 10-3 Back to Back State Champs
- 22 to 21 vs Byrd in Final
2014 - 11-1 State Semifinals.
2015 - 11-2 State Runner-Up
2019 - 13-0 Undefeated State Champs
- 14 to 10 vs Catholic BR in Final.

Jay Roth had a very solid program going yet he somehow never won a title up until that 2012 team. Absurd talent all over the field those eight years. Nick Monica took over in 2019 and won state his first year to complete the 8 year run.

I made every year in the dome, then Katrina hit. I still make a number of high school, college and Pro games.

Evangel definitely the school that ruined Lhsaa sports for everyone

Say what you want about Curtis but he put in a system that has never deviated in 30 years
