re: Official Week 5 High School Football Results

Franklinton High (5-0) goes to the defending state champs Belle Chasse and leaves a 58-21 winner. btw fhs is the home of the taylor brothers and there are a few 2011 and 2012 class players you'll be reading about on the recruiting board soon.

Nope. That's actually quite normal around here. What's funny is they beat Springfield 2 weeks ago the same damn way they lost tonight. You would think the guy would've known better. Oh well, district play is here now and unfortunately for L.O., things aren't going to get any easier. I'll call it right now: Zachary gets their first win next week against Live Oak.

And congrats to the Chalmette fans, band, etc. I live about 100 yards from the stadium and they made enough noise to fool me into thinking Live Oak had won. Needless to say, I was a little surprised when my brother got home and told me they lost.

Stay positive. Live Oak moved the ball well all night up and down the field, but they had a TD called back on a holding penalty on their first drive, then missed a chip shot field goal. Then with a chance to go up 21-14, they fumbled at the end of a first down run deep in Chalmette territory...they moved 30 yards in 2 plays before that. Then they went for two and didn't get it. Chalmette has a very impressive place kicker. LO's TD's were on a real nice 60 yard bomb and then end runs at the end of long drives. They'll be ready next week.

Captain Shreve comes back to beat Byrd 31-27.

Week 6
vs. Cathoic High of New Iberia Nicholls State University

Live Oak has a very good coaching staff and many great kids on the team. In some past years, they ran an offense that encouraged the D to just load the box and LO would produce little offense, overloading tailbacks and not mixing it up. I have seen many of their games since 1998. With this staff, they literally never run two plays in a row out of the same formation and the play calling is excellent. They also have good players on O who understand the offense and their assignments and make plays. You don't see kids lining up wrong or going the wrong way, which is a credit to the coaches and the kids. They have brains on O. On defense, they are also well coached and have some real motors who can make plays. LO has intercepted 9 or 10 balls this year and only thrown 2 or so pics, credits to the O and D. I have not seen players, assistant coaches, parents and fans rally behind the program/team nearly as much as they have this year....I think this is largely because the head coach has set a great tone and is a great coach. He exhibits the appropriate demeanor during games and at all times, deflects attention from himself and genuinely wants the kids to experience winning. All 3 wins this year have been huge in their own way. Huge!! And the 2 televised games, against Key opponents for the program, went very well! The assistant coaches are working hard and doing well. The principal cares and did the absolute right thing in selecting this head coach for the situation the program faced. I have been in the stands and have not heard criticism of coaches as in past years. The crowd for the homecoming game was awesome. The coach made a decision to go for two and it didn't work. Live Oak has been on both sides of that this year - both 21-20 ironically. So many plays go into a game! Had it worked, it would have been a great call....we see this happen every week to teams at all levels. The O put together 5 good drives, unfortunately only scored on three....that's football. The D held an athletic team with a stud back to only 3 scores, got 3 pics and never broke, unfortunately one more break would have only netted Chalmette 2 scores....that's football. Football only has a 10 game season, has a much higher level of emotional and physical committment than other sports, and quickly generates highs and lows. The key is to rise each time you fall. There has been a fall at the end of a great winning streak, but these coaches will have these boys risen and ready for Friday.
Don't worry about what clowns say who don't attend the games and just criticize for reasons those committed can't understand. Coaches, players, parents, refs, etc. will always make mistakes, but what is happening at Live Oak this year is special in this fans eyes....Live Oak football, like its school, has earned respect! Coach and play for the people in the locker room...for yourselves...not for anybody else. Be easy on Southeastern too...a lot of good teachers and coaches at Live Oak went there and were well educated.
