re: 2026 Louisiana HS Baseball Season

I think Dutchtown vs Sam Houston.

Game 1 if it’s Johnson vs Sullivan is going to be an unreal matchup.

Dutchtown vs Barbe threw Johnson then bc of the win threw the #3 in game 2 and came back with Tunnard game three. Would think the same if they are able to pull out game 1.

Weather looking worse this weekend than last weekend. Gonna be a lot of moving parts to get games in.
Wonder the possibility of Curtis and Catholic moving to Parkview with the turf. But honestly, I don't even know if that'll work. Not just wet surfaces, its the non stop rain.
Haven't heard any contingency plans yet from Coach, but I'm sure it's a very fluid situation.

I'm only addressing your stance the SMHS is "always fumbling the bag" .

That claim has holes.

Some of the games start tonight. All the one game eliminations should play today, especially if you don’t get the game in until this weekend then you have to turnaround and play Tuesday in Sulphur.

Well history does show its accurate. But i hear ya dock

In years past, I'd agree with you and be skeptical of any hire they made. When Lee was principal, there was almost no importance placed on athletics. It was as if athletics were included because they HAD to. Your view of the school pretty much aligns with the prevailing public perception at the time.

The new admin has been up to the task of completely changing the entire culture of the school, and have done some pretty amazing things in the short time they've been there. But clearly, they also have a long way to go. Nothing that I've seen from them gives me any indication that they rushed through the search and just settled for someone. Whether Edwards is the "right" choice. . .I guess we will have to wait until he at least makes it to campus. Even the best head coaches, no matter the sport, started as an assistant and needed someone to give them the chance to prove themselves.

I believe the current admin may have the new era of smhs athletes and parents fooled. Everything that glitters aint gold - anyone can do facility upgrades.

Until SMHS AD and the lloyd christmas haircut weirdo who goes online and asks for money every week is gone athletics will continue to underperform. I feel for the players because from what ive heard they really bought into the interim and staff. By the looks of how bad they were before the firing, it appears the interims did a hell of a job. Dont know if either of them were a legit candidate though

Well, actually, the assistant, not the HC, was apart of bernhard’s staff from 2014-2017. Not his first rodeo. Bernhard had the blueprint, and him and interim HC most definitely had it too. I cant imagine someone as smart as you thinks these guys were dealt an easy situation - a complete mess - rallied the troops/played the right guys and from what i saw they were an inning away from making mediocre players parents hate them even more… i am well versed in BR area sports scene so i hear all the drama

Nonetheless, im not saying those guys are better than anyone or a slam dunk, but to say they won just a few games given the teams state before the firing…kinda hilarious imo.

But hey, atleast those guys did well for themselves in their time. They did not have to kiss arse like some to earn their spot, ya know?

Yeah i didnt know if he had a legit shot or not, but this wasnt his only coaching exp. Pretty sure he doesnt have kid either

Geez wrong again. The asst that applied is 30-31 yrs old. Bernhard finished in 17. Regardless, we will see how it all works out.
