Uhigh
Parkview
Zachary
Episcopal
Catholic
Central
Redemptorist


Uhigh and Episcopal doesn't have the type of competition we'd seek, but they have nearly everything else in terms of academics and support

Parkview would provide great football training, and the chance to compete and excell in other sports, yet I'm not sure about how well he will be academically challenged. And its not diverse enough.

Zachary and Central would offer great facilities and a great school boards. Also the level of competition would be great, and would get the best out of the kids in their programs. However, would I want to be commuting daily?

Redemptorist is similar to Parkview, and I highly question its ability to get kids prepared for college. However, my son would be pushed athletically at RHS

Catholic would give the best blend of academic, athletics, support, and post graduate success. However, who knows whos gonna coach football there in the next 4 years?

If it were done to me, I would have to choose between zachary, uhigh, and catholic

Catholic in a landslide, although my kid will probably be on the smaller side. Baseball and soccer will have to do.

Yeah if your talking football, Catholic fields a team usually around 125+ players...

I'd put him on a 3.5-hour daily commute to 201 Riggs Street, West Monroe, Louisiana 71291.

I played golf at Catholic but hung out with a bunch of football players...they were all first string and by the looks of it the only ones that took the field...

your son better be 1st string or he won't be playing AT ALL...plus with Weiner coaching until he dies - he like picking favorites

the odds better be on your side

I graduated in 08 FWIW

lol, my brother goes to U-High and I can guarantee you, he's average intellectually and absolutely doesn't have to give a shite at all to make good grades at U-High

their IB program is respectable, but unless you've got fricking Captain America for a kid he's not doing IB and football, and after IB it's laughable

Well some guys got the bad end of things..some guys that deserved to play more didn't get enough pt, some guys got too much PT and there play never suggested that they should keep or lose their job, and other guys just thought they were alot better than they actually were

But thats the case with every team.

2008? Yall really stunk it up that year. That '06 team made yall look pretty good!

What's happending with Weiner? Is he retiring or something? I didn't think he was that old.
