re: Shreveport recruits

Humphreys was from Southwood.
Woodley was from Byrd. He played on a bad team but he had good numbers as a rusher.
Trey Prather was a great QB from Woodlawn who was killed in V.N.

There's a picture of Tommy Davis hanging in on the wall at my barber shop.

Thanks didnt see pic but have FB card somewhere. He was Fair Park? Anybody else in your memory bank? I cant think of any. Hobley from Byrd? Lost before about '67

You get about 10 days at the end of the school year for a vacation, then workouts start back 3 times a week.

and their 19 when they play...that does not hurt..

Good N LA but any more S'Port/Bossier Area that made LSU impact? Might have named them all. Can include Mansfield,Benton,Minden,Haughton

No doubt that West Monroe and Evangel put out a lot of players. Academics aren't exactly strong at Evangel. Their valedictorian made a 17 one year on the ACT! Other than a couple of guys not many of them have played much beyond college, with only a couple of guys standing out in college. Perhaps the biggest Evangel star ever, a DL from the 1990's did prison time in California for armed robbery. Haven't met too many successful people from either high school.

while that was a wide practice in the mid to late 90's these guys turned 19 their senor years, but since the hold back rule was put into place it doesn't happen nearly as much anymore, because you can no longer holdback in junior high... but you can before 6th grade and sadly that does still happen
