Lots have come from St Charles Parish. Hahnville and Destrehan. There was a segment on it at one time wondering what contributed to it. The Landry brothers, Jefferson brothers, Alfred Blue, Ed Reed and the punter from Destrehan that I can’t remember his name now just to name a few.

One thing that skews the numbers in and around NOLA / Jeff parish is the Catholic League and of course John Curtis.

The Westbank has done WORK for decades but for a couple decades now alot of those athletes started crossing the river instead of going to Shaw like they did in the 80s and 90s.

St Aug has done so well because it has it's market that won'e be skewed by just results on the field or a bad coaching hire. They've been consistently going after the same kind of kid with the same basic approach to athletic (and academic) development for 50+ years.

Kids deciding between Rummel, Shaw, Jesuit and Brother Martin aren't usually like kids deciding between St Aug and any other school.

St Aug kids are frequently St Aug kids at birth and for life.
