Without googling, what high school in La. do you think was the highest ranked in La.? The criteria was total program wins and state titles. Hint...they checked in at #14...North La. and it's NOT Neville or WM.

Valdosta H.S. was #1

Haynesville, but the article wasn't about all schools. I believe it was regarding smaller high schools

ETA: we're talking about different articles

It was Haynesville but included all schools big and small. Valdosta is huge. Neville was 30, I believe.

West Monroe didnt win their first state title until 1993 and from 1953 to 1990 only had about 5 playoff appearances.

I think it was 1995, Bobby Ray Tell had a game where he had 4 rushes for something like 180 yards and three touchdowns. He was a man amongst boys out there. Had a good career at tech

Homer vs Haynesville was a war back in the day, maybe still is. Homer looks down its collective nose at the oilfield trash in Haynesville and Haynesville never forgets it.
