A coach is only as good as his players, especially in high school.

Cecchini at Barbe had a freshman mowing down varsity competition in first career start. You telling me that makes him a good coach or his players are just that talented?


you are right but what you are missing is Lawton has added about 7-8mph to his peak since he got there and is sitting 4-5 mph faster. Also added quite a bit of weight to him and developed a slider he can throw in the zone and get very high % of whiffs

so yall auto see a kid coming in an dominating. Tons of work went into that

dont get me wrong Barbe gets talent...but the whole parish is only 200k people total. That has to support Barbe, Sam Houston, sulphur, st louis, iowa, dequency and westlake...not to mention couple other schools.

the metro is only 250 if you include 5 parish area and that has to support south beau, kinder, grandlake etc

aint like we are talking a population the size of baton rouge or even like what STM can pull from

Plenty of coaches are gifted with pipelines of kids.. lake Charles is tricky bc of all the quality programs in the area

Glen Cechinni is as good as any in developing kids in high school where many programs these days farm out the development to summer programs and private coaches.

I always thought chad Hebert did a really good job in trying to develop kids starting at young age. Probably difficult for him to watch some of those kids go to Barbe and kinder amongst the gold mine of LC programs.

Bravata is someone I think will continue to do really good things as well

Some coaches are no more than collectors of talent these days.. they usually crash and burn in the later rounds of the playoffs.
