Off the subject, this team played Lee High in Baton Rouge in the early 70’s. Lee had a very small press box, no way there was enough room for coaches with phones (no headsets, only phones). The coaches for Lee were sitting on top of the gym overhang which overlooked the field, in folding chairs, using walkie talkies. The place was packed. I think this was the last big time game at that stadium until they started using it again when enrollment plummeted in the 2000’s. Baton Rouge football was as big as any other city back then.

I don't really care if every part of that isn't true, that's a hell of a setting you just painted with your words.

My dad played on the Lee team that lost to Neville in the state championship. BR public football was once a thing, he used to shake his head when I was a teenager and say he was still sore from that game.
