LA Fire kids? LA Fire has a bigger machine than Mandeville, but I imagine they have to share more kids with other schools than St Paul does. IDK.
I’m upset that my son was geographically just outside of the areas possible to join one of these great clubs. He’ll have a good sports experience at St Stanislaus, but the club scene is BS over here.

yes mostly LA Fire, as well as a few from other clubs. Your kid could still play club in New Orleans or Mandeville. Lots of kids travel an hour one way for club sports. But yea, I would not want to do it.

I’m just let good enough alone, he’s setup to be a great player for his school and that’ll be good enough, unless he wants to drive himself elsewhere. He’s been kicking the football this whole time, so I think focusing on that through school will be rewarding for him. All three facets of that aren’t easy to master.

Considering the limited opportunities for men to play college soccer in the region, having a great HS soccer experience and working hard on your academics are the way to go.

Couldn't agree more. Unless you're a blue blood and can play in the ACC or PAC-12 this is definitely the way to go.
If you really want to play in college and stay in the South then playing college club ball is what you want to do.

Uhigh finally gets that state championship in a 5-4 victory over loyola

Not surprised.
They were such a physically dominant team when we played them. Won nearly every 50-50 ball in the air with their tall forwards. Gordon McKernan’s son is a sold goalscorer for them, and the Kirkpatrick brothers are great players. I was proud of our guys only losing 3-1 to them, considering the season we had this year.
Happy for Chris Mitchell. Hard to believe this is only the second boys title from a Baton Rouge team in the 21st century, 2013 Episcopal being the other. We had a great chance in 2015, but had one bad game in the quarterfinals and lost a heartbreaker in OT.

Michael stein who did you play for? Physical teams are Mitchell’s MO, IMO. Loves his athletes but I always hated watching the stoke city ball U-High sometimes played.

You've got nothing on my 4 straight years of heart breakers

I drove up to Shreveport in 2009 and 2010 to watch y’all lose

I played for St. Michael, graduated 2014. BlackCoffeeKid ended my playing career with a header in OT. That hurt, but next year hurt a lot worse because we had a stacked team that could have won state.
We weren’t a deep team at all, but our healthy starting XI could play with any team in the state besides St. Paul’s. We had something like 22 shutouts that year. We got draws against Vandebilt and St. Louis, who both won state titles, as well as Northlake and Acadiana, who were also great teams that year.
We were the #2 seed in the playoffs, just got an unlucky draw against defending champs Ben Franklin in the quarterfinals and lost on the last kick of the game in OT. The semifinal would have been against a team we beat easily, so it really hurt knowing we missed a very likely finals appearance.
We’re a long way from that now. Barely made the playoffs this year, but we had a super inexperienced team.

08 and 09 (frick 09 )hurt me the worst. Losing state in 10 is probably below losing to BF in 11 too

Lost to Ben Franklin in OT in 2012 semis.
Still hate Pan-Am Stadium.

We lost to them in PKs with some incredibly bullshite officiating. The center ref literally told our coach before OT that he wasn't going to end the game on a penalty call (he waved off what should have been a penalty right before the end of the 2nd half)

Were you on the field for Newman’s 70-yard goal to tie it late in the game in 2009? That’s a brutal way to lose.
