ed (actually edward back then, was always weird when people called him ed) was not a thug in high school. he definitely didn't come from a lot of money by any stretch, but he was respectful and friendly...not what miami had become known for up to that point.

his senior yr..last game of the season..we're playing s lafourche for the district title...we have to win by 7 points or more to win the title out right. tie game with 10 secs left and s laf is driving. another db intercepts the ball and edward literally takes the ball from him and runs about 70 yds for the td. outright district title. yes, he was fun to watch.

Curtis Johnson was the reason. He was on the Miami staff for years, originally from the River Parishes. Recruited all the river parish guys Miami got over the years. (He is now the WR coach for the Saints for those that don't know.)
Ed Reed in HS was beyond elite. My favorite Ed play that I've probably mentioned around here before: Ed's junior or senior year, Destrehan's last game of the season against one of the Lafouches and we needed to win by a certain amount of points to win district. (We weren't at that number yet.) Ed gets an INT in our own territory on the final play of the game, and returns it to the house for a TD giving us the points we needed to win district.

You beat me to it! I had forgotten that he wasn't the one with the pick. But weren't we already ahead and needed to win by a certain number of points? Or am I getting my years confused? It seems so long ago now...

shite man...it's been so long. hahahaha. we may have been up by a couple points, but i know s laf could have won with a fg. we could have stopped them and won the game, but we wouldn't have won district.

I have always thought of Ed Reed as one of the smarter defensive players in the NFL. or best instincts i should say. tremendous athlete. That play yall are talking about reminds me of the play Darrell McNeal made in the 06 playoff game for Neville and St. Martinsville. Last play off the game, St.Mart. up by 4 or 5, they run instead of taking a knee and McNeal (plays WR for ULM now) literally takes the ball from him while falling down, breaks 2 tackles and runs for a 70 yd return to win the game and advance in the playoffs.

Why do blatantly racist posts like these not merit a ban?

It should have never even come to that we (CL) should have been undefeated district champs that season. Central beat Destrehan then got screwed over "down the bayou" by the refs that year. We've lost plenty of games over the past 15 years, and I rarely ever complain and say the refs cost us the game but that was one of them.
That was the infamous car flash game if you don't remember. CL kicked a field goal at the end of the game to win it. A car parked outside the field facing the refs flashed his lights and distracted the refs, one ref called the kick good, the other called it bad. The kicked looked good in person, and years later I saw a copy of the game tape and it looked good on tape.

Odd, because I could have sworn by reading here that Gerry DiNardo turned around recruiting, and had Lousiana locked down. Especially considering Reed's senior year in high school, LSU (with Hallman talent) won more games than Miami. That can't be right, Reed was from Louisiana, he was going to LSU no matter who was coach, according to Tigerdroppings ranter wisdom.
Dinardo did turn recruiting around. Reed started HS when Curley Hallman was still coaching LSU. Miami got on him early enough to negate any influence Dinardo's success might have had. LSU has always had struggles in recruiting the New Orleans area, and the past two coaches have only marginally improved on that. The difference is now, Ed Reed would be LSU's recruit to lose.

saban didn't have that many problems
which is why marquise hill might be the most important recruit LSU has signed the past 10 years

this has something to it, LSU is followed throughout the state but they don't recruit well down here as with the rest of the state(Mckinght,Reed,Augustine,Monroe,Carter,etc)

I actually thought DiNardo started getting into NO, and Herb playing QB was a big part of that.

Dinardo wanted Fred Booker over Reed. No kidding.
