Cameron Robinson update/WM, Neville & OCS start title defenses

Yawn...

Neville will most likely repeat. OCS will continue to dominate 1A (Losing Laird is big, but I think they have enough to make another run). I'm not sure how WM stacks up this year, I'd like to see someone new make some noise in the playoffs.

OUACHITA TRANSFER MIA AT WEST MONROE DRILLS
Ouachita transfer Cameron Robinson did not take the West Monroe practice field Monday. Coaches told The News-Star the 6-foot-6, 315-pound offensive lineman would sit out until they were certain of his eligibility.



quote:
LHSAA Executive Director Kenny Henderson said the association has not been asked to investigate the eligibility of any West Monroe football players. "Not officially," Henderson said.

"We have not received any request in writing. In reality, he hasn't officially transferred yet (under LHSAA rules). He may have transferred schools, but we don't consider the student having transferred until they've attended at least one class period ... As far as we're concerned, he's still a student at Ouachita." "” Jerit Roser

Fans gathered around fields early Monday morning, parking their cars on the side of the road at two area high schools.

That can mean only one thing — high school football is officially here.

All area LHSAA schools conducted their first official football practice Monday as coaches started evaluating their teams in anticipation for their season openers, most of which occur Aug. 31.

In about three and a half weeks, three certain Ouachita Parish teams will begin their titles defenses also. West Monroe (Class 5A), Neville (Class 4A) and Ouachita Christian (Class 1A) started that quest Monday, though, as they filled holes and prepared for what they hope is another 15-game season.



quote:
Neville cornerback Laurence "Hootie" Jones broke up a John Diarse pass on Monday during a red zone drill, and the offense pleaded with coaches for a pass interference call while the defense cheered Jones' effort.

Jones and Diarse joked with each other on their way to the next drill, and both said they like the offense-defense rivalry.

... then they all went to Johnny's Pizza and lived happily ever after. Isn't that how all Monroe stories end?
