Are WM and ECA so much further ahead of the others in that area? Seems like few D-1 recruits come from any where else. Claiborne and Fobbs seem to be diamonds in the rough. Airline,Benton,etc always competitive but seems to get worse as years go by.

I think part of the problem with places like Benton, Airline, Haughton, etc. is players are out of position due to need.
IE, If a kid at Benton is 6-1, 210 as a senior he might have been a good LB but he was playing OL all during his career due to need.

A. WM is 100 miles away.
B. Yes, they both are that far ahead, mainly due to 2 factors. Coaching and weight programs in those two programs are as good as it gets at the high school level. WM has a coach for every position. It's much easier to train a kid when you have position coaches than just 4-5 coaches that have OL, DL, Backs/WR/QB, LB/DB, ST. The weight program at WM is year round. You get about 10 days at the end of the school year for a vacation, then workouts start back 3 times a week.

JJ27 said it pretty good. The coaching in North La is pretty weak and has been for decades. Also the football facilities are garbage at well at most schools. Having top notch facilities is just not important and thus is another big reason why you have crap football programs. There is a butt load of talent in the Shreveport/Bossier area but most of it never gets developed because of what JJ27 has stated. It's really sad because Shreveport/Bossier Football should be big time.

WM is in a region that has many schools that put out D1 athletes consistently, such as Rayville, Bastrop, Neville and Ruston. ECA on the other hand is the Shreveport region and really the only school that consistently puts out D1 players. I would venture to say Neville and Ruston have each sent more players to LSU and to the pros than most school in the state
