"Tommy Casanova was a remarkable athlete, one of the most complete players ever to come out of Louisiana. He was a defensive back, used in spot duty as a running back, and was a kick-returner. With 9.7-second 100-meter speed on the LSU track team, he would have liked to try his hand at wide receiver."

Remembering local sports legend Mike Miley . (1953-1977) He died in a auto accident on January 6, 1977. He was a native of Metairie. He lettered in 4 sports at East Jefferson High School. He was from the graduating class of 1971. Out of High School he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 1971 , but did not sign up. He went to LSU, where he played football and baseball. He was LSU's starting Quarterback in the 1974 Orange Bowl in a 16-9 loss against Penn State. Miley was signed by the California Angels in 1974 and spent 2 years in the minor leagues. He played shortstop for the 1975-76 Angels. He died in a auto accident in Baton Rouge. Airline Park Playground was renamed in his honor. Thanks for the memories Mike Miley.
