re: Tell me about this freshman from St. Aug

Left side of that line looks real good.

Whoaaaa there people. Carl Weathers did graduate from St. Augustine. I once worked with a guy who was in his class. He said they called him cave man lol As for the coaching, nothing against the previous coaching staffs but the nature of the schools set up hurt it's chances as much as anything. The school drew kids from local playgrounds and from a few public schools which meant pre Katrina they'd get those kids in the 10th grade mostly. So you really didn't get production out of many of them for a couple of years so it was tough to get a lot of kids on the field even though there were 90 kids on the sideline. Perhaps 35 to 40 would actually play. Then look at the teams which beat them in the playoffs. Loss to Neville 7-6 in semifinal in '95, West Monroe in semi final in '93 and 2000 so they made some late runs in the playoffs but lost to eventual state champs from 2-5A. In 93 a 15 year old kid handled a kickoff like a punt which helped W. Monroe beat them. Against Neville a missed PAT and FG cost them the game. This year, with all the talent at DB, the D line wasn't stacked and got pushed around. Those big kids on the sideline shoulda played D line to help out.
