Again SP may be great in this day in age but before the hurricanes you had way more people playing at small schools. Like I said in districts 81A and 71A the most players on a team are like 50 players
2

Nah........I'm just stating that the competion in 1A for school like South Plaqumine isn't going to test them.

Hey obviously you cannot be convinced, but maybe you should get tape of their overtime win over Hahnville the week after Gustav when they made the trip with about half of their players and no practice and beat a 5A playoff team. I don't think many pre-Katrina 1A teams were playing, much less beating 5A teams, with the exception of maybe Evangel.

I saw that game on their schedule in the program.......It's an impressive win considering all the distractions and such.

Do you know the difference between 97 and 96?
And do you know the difference between a prospect and a signed player?
Laugh all you want but that LAB team in 97 had more than 10 players playing college football in the next few years from that team.......I'm going to make a phone call to Darcy Delcambre and get you a list.
And SPEARS WAS a FRESHMAN DE!

its just as strong as it was 10 years ago.
1-A has always been pretty weak.
It's been the same teams dominating forever. Evangel, when they have played in 1-A, have dominated.
then you have Kentwood, Oak Grove, and Haynesville. And thats it. Stop acting like it is always stout competition. It's not.
This SP team is one of the few teams in recent 1A history that could even compete in higher classifications. Them, and Evangel. and thats about it.

It's listed in the record book as the 1996 state championship game.
and a FR DE isnt a SOPH DE like you said.

so many studs, you cant even name one besides one of the top players in the Nation who was only a FR on the team?

No it isn't.........and I state this from sitting in the booth and speaking with two cooridinators just 3 weeks ago that coach at Loreaville and Delhi Charter.
Since the hurricanes their has been signficant stregthening to 2A and 3A and a decline in 1A. When the top 16 teams in 1A are only fielding 35-45 football players thats a huge disparity to 10 years ago when rosters had 50-60!

I'm with you LE, and I'm glad they are getting some respect. I could see if they were not scheduling 5a teams, and such. But I've seen them schedule Skyler Green's Higgins team and beat them IIRC, Hahnville, EJ, Hammond, Helen Cox, Belle Chasse etc...
So they aren't scared to play, and they've beaten some good teams in the past few years.

Well Earl, I sorry I can't tell you about the kids who went to Minnesota and fricking San Diego State.
I do know that between Southern, Grambling, LSU, and the 117 D1A schools more than half their starting roster played college football. FACT!

I've never even heard of those schools. Opinion doesn't mean much to me bud.
Did either play South Plaq?

Why does that take away from how good SP is?
quit trying to relive your glory days. This team was legit.
Posted on 12/16/08 at 11:45 pm to L S Usetheforce
who did Southern Lab lose to that year? any idea?
Kentwood took them to 2OTs..they couldnt have been that dominant. Get real.
The gap hasnt closed that much.

Your bringing glory into it.......I'm just stating #s.
Loreaville is a 2A school near St. Martinville, and Delhi Charter played and lost to Christian Life in the Semis. I watched them play 2 weeks earlier against Delcambre who had 33 football players in the 2nd round.
frick glory days, I'm going based off the fact that nobody on that 1A football championship game field has a D1A scholarship as compared to the years past when I can name a shitload of 1A players who grazed the dome turf.
Posted on 12/16/08 at 11:46 pm to L S Usetheforce
Sure there are more bad 1A teams than in the larger divisions, that is any and every year. Also the 1A teams in SP's district are garbage, and were garbage pre-Katrina as well. But I went to several SP playoff games, and the teams they beat up on (Block, CLA, and especially Haynesville) would have been competative 1A playoff teams pre or post Katrina.

Do you know the history behind South Plaquemines high school? Do you know where the eye of the storm hit? That place was a total loss, and those kids have nothing. The population is almost non existent. They have to dress out 7th and 8th graders to make a squad of 30.

It means that Grambling University, Southern University, LSU and the other 117 teams in 1A signed the kids that played for that LAB team.

Turner will play D-1 ball.
Their RB has signed with LA tech already.
And Slyve will be a D-1 player in 2 years.
and there are 2-3 more D-1 players on that team.
