High school soccer in Louisana

quality is weak AF compared to other states.

I've been to a few girls games, but only because of family.

Wish I could get to some st Paul's games.

The state championship games always got pretty solid crowds at Tad Gormley when I was in school from 09-13

I went to a pretty good 5a school, and we used to draw pretty decent crowds for district games and huge crowds for the playoffs.

Weather can be brutal though, tough to draw a good crowd when the wind chill is under 30 degrees out.

I know they've structured things different now, less district games and more friendlies w/ the 'power rankings' system. Idk how that's affected things.

Is Jesuit still the top dog?

School soccer sucks in every state. Really outside of football, there is no school sport that can compete with outside leagues or club options.

Do some teams still play on football fields and not regulation soccer size? It was bullshite with the crown of the field and huge unathletic dudes who could reach the goal easily with a corner throw in

My HS team won state a couple times back when dinosaurs walked the Earth in the early 90s. When the weather was good - there would be a couple hundred people in the stands for our home games. More during the playoffs. While it wasn't exactly a recruiting hotbed - I know at least 5 of my former teammates went on to play Division I soccer (myself included). Pretty sure there were 3 more that eventually played Division II/NAIA on scholarship. Of course - about half the team played select as well since the two seasons' games didn't overlap...
