some pretty notable players have come out of HHS the last few years. 5 star WR Chad Jackson came out in 03, Sarah Jessica Parker in 04, and Kerry Murphy and Josh Chapman in 07. To be honest though AU and Bama usually have a pretty good stranglehold on any good ones that do come out of there.

I didn't give a crap about the teen drama aspect of Two-A-Days, but the insight into the coaching aspect was very interesting....

((BTW: I have a teenage daughter, so I blame her for the fact I watched the show regularly))

Pretty much anyone from Louisiana I meet here maybe never attended LSU but have, for the most part, all been LSU fans.

Hoover is basically a microcosm of football in general in Alabama - more hype and soap opera drama than actual substance. That two-a-days television crap was utterly pathetic.


no doubt. hoover was overrated during the whole two-a days thing. hoover usually fileds solid teams, but they are not nearly as dominate out of state.

This might bode well for LSU recruiting.


Just what we need...boosters influencing recruiting.

Kerry Murphy



That's who I was thinking of. Didn't he sign with Bama but not qualify? I think he went to Hargrave. Is he back at Bama now?

As far as I know he is not a booster, but certainly if he holds season tickets, he may be a fan. Not sure if he would influence players at all one or the other. I just thought it was interesting enough to post.

Nah, some players actually made it to the NFL from Evangel. More like John Curtis East.

Talk to the NCAA about that. One of the guys in the Alabama/Means case was considered a booster for holding season tickets.

The principal was the principal at Fontainbleau in Mandeville. My little sister goes there and he already knows and likes her because she wears LSU gear.

Hoover might be a little overhyped...but they did kick Tebows arse his senior year. Would have like to seen JC play against Tebow too.
