well if it wasn't for yall i'm not sure who our rival would be... maybe Belle Chasse or all the schools in Slidell? the attendances don't bear that out though. when i was in school it was Salmen bc they were good and it geographically makes sense out of all the Slidell schools.

also Hannan was a rivalry despite only playing them in district bc John Serio didn't want none otherwise. when they were in St. B the series ended 3-3 in football, then we inexplicably played them the first year after Katrina and got stomped by an 18 kid team

some want a school rebuilt "down the road" and i'm not sure if it's Chalmette people wanting "St. Bernard" kids out of CHS or "St. Bernard" people wanting "St. Bernard" kids out of CHS. i say it never happens bc the way CHS is being built out it would be stupid to cut it in half while in progress or right after.

we also can't afford another similar high school right now, and just imagine if the kids up the road got the Taj Mahal of high schools while the kids down the road got plain ol' St. Bernard High

but every time we get blasted by HC someone probably thinks "maybe we shouldn't play them anymore" but lo and behold we do and if it turns out to be even a close game "the rivalry's back"

and i'll share my opinion on the Jefferson Parish district... we're in it bc we think we can win against them but not against the Catholic schools... obviously if we thought we could win against the Catholic schools we'd be playing them. I realize Bobby Nuss did okay back in the day lol... Jason Tucker is no Bobby Nuss. Coach Salt might have been

if we thought we'd lose against everybody we might as well play the Catholic League and become the new old De La Salle for the gates...

I just remember the old pranks we used to play on each other. Chalmette dyed our pool maroon, we burned HC in the field, shoe polishing the other teams cars, HC students rearranging the letters on the roof on Judge Perez. always a fun week when I was in school. about half my class was from the parish, I don't know what the numbers look like these days as far as HC's demographic, but I know it isn't quite that slanted anymore, so hopefully the rivalry can be sustained with the changes in the makeup of the HC student body. if anything else, ole Meatball Serigne will help keep the rivalry alive
