Yeah, we have lots of talent in Baton Rouge, but it gets so spread out among all the schools to where none of our teams can really ever compete for state. The talent is far more concentrated among elite programs in other parts of the state like Houma-Thibodaux, Lafayette, Northshore, and New Orleans.

Catholic is the only program that can field an entire team of club players, and they have to compete with Jesuit and St. Paul’s to win state. The rest of us are just happy to get more than a few guys who have played before high school.

The elite players, as in the top 15-20 in the city at each grade level, are still spread out in New Orleans amongst Jesuit, Brother Martin, Newman, Lusher, East Jefferson, Holy Cross, Ben Franklin and a few more. The difference is depth. Jesuit had 100 kids at tryouts this year in grades 9-12. Every one of them are year round club players. I suspect Bother Martin was similar.
