re: LHSAA Week 3... Rummel-Aug Saturday at Yenni - Mr Eko on 9/14/12 at 11:27 amWas it St Paul's offense playing bad or was Lincoln just that good that they made the offense look bad?
I would be surprised if 35 kept it close tonight....
re: LHSAA Week 2 Thread - Mr Eko on 9/7/12 at 11:37 amGood luck to St Pauls tonight against Tallahassee Lincoln High. I hope Louisiana sweeps the doubleheader.
Other Northshore games:
Covington @ Franklinton
Chalmette @ Northshore
Lakeshore @ Fontainebleau
Mandeville @ Catholic BR
Rummel @ Slidell
Ponchatoula @ Amite
It could be a rough ni...
re: LHSAA Week 2 Thread - Mr Eko on 9/7/12 at 11:27 am[quote]we go to northshore tomorrow night in what might be a trap game if we're looking ahead... we beat them fairly easily last year... [/quote]
Northshore is not as good as last year. And they were not even good last year. Chalmette should win that one pretty easy....
re: East Ascension 2012 Football? - Mr Eko on 9/1/12 at 7:55 am[quote]Hopefully subbing a 5A school for a 2A school will help our power ranking.[/quote]
When you are a 5A school, your opponent's classification does not hurt or help your power rating. It only helps smaller schools that play up.

re: LHSAA Week 1 Thread - Mr Eko on 8/31/12 at 10:33 pmCurtis looked good in that scrimmage. St Paul's looked really good against Brother Martin but couldn't stop Curtis running the ball. We'll see what happens when St Paul's DC schemes against Curtis. (Even though you know what Curtis is going to do, you just have to stop it.) I think that guy (Pier...
re: LHSAA Week 1 Thread - Mr Eko on 8/31/12 at 10:09 pm[quote]It'll be tough to come out with a W, especially with a shortened week of preparation.[/quote]
One good thing is that St Paul's and Curtis scrimmaged each other two weeks ago. I know its not the same as game planning a team but its still better than no preparation and/or throwing together ...
re: LHSAA Week 1 Thread - Mr Eko on 8/31/12 at 9:35 pmIf the St Pauls-Curtis game didn't conflict with the LSU game I would definitely check it out. I saw Curtis vs Covington in the Mandeville Jamboree and I had Curtis people tell me "this is the best Curtis team ever." Now I saw Curtis play Mandeville in '06 when they had McKnight and IMO that '06 t...
re: LHSAA Week 1 Thread - Mr Eko on 8/31/12 at 5:48 pmCurtis will play St Paul's tomorrow at 3pm.
Wow. IMO Sears is taking a big risk on scheduling this game. I have heard that the heat is on him since they went one and done in the playoffs. Now they are looking at a possible 0-2 start to this season....
re: LHSAA Preseason Top 10 Polls 5A-1A - Mr Eko on 8/28/12 at 4:52 pmI saw Covington play Curtis on Friday. It was ugly. The Covington kids look good as always but I see them finishing 3rd at best in the district. All I will say about Covington is... the players are there. It is really disappointing to watch a team like that struggle....
re: LHSAA Preseason Top 10 Polls 5A-1A - Mr Eko on 8/28/12 at 3:11 pmEverything you said is spot on. You are only a few years younger than me.
[quote]I'm not blind to the fact that recruiting allegations have surfaced. Personally, I think St. Paul's definitely steers talented athletes from bad neighborhoods into its welcoming arms. Do I approve of it? I'd say I'm...
re: LHSAA Preseason Top 10 Polls 5A-1A - Mr Eko on 8/28/12 at 1:42 pmI have followed this district very closely for the last 10 plus years and I remember when St Pauls was the laughing stock. I'm a northshore public school guy so I can't say that I like St Pauls but I am very impressed that Sears has been able to keep to pump out the regular season's that he has. I...
re: LHSAA Preseason Top 10 Polls 5A-1A - Mr Eko on 8/28/12 at 1:02 pm[quote]Last year was their year to make a run to at least the semis and they blew it in the first round.[/quote]
I know what you mean beacause they were set up nice with the #1 seed last year to make a run. However, I'm an outsider when it comes to St. Pauls and from what I have seen of them so f...
