I know WM beat Barbe in the finals (I think on a late HR) one of the years I was in HS. I think we may have faced them like 3/4 years in the finals during my time.

For some reason (old age, maybe drugs) I was incorrectly thinking they lost to Brother Martin. But that was the 96 team that beat WM 1-0 in the finals. David Miller pitched a gem.


That’s the one that hurts the most. WM had bases loaded and no one out late and didn’t score. Martin went on to win 1-0 in extras. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be. That’s baseball…

You are 01 huh?

Barbe beat rummel your Jr year, then St amant (who upset Rummel in semis) your Sr year.

Kudos for them for building the infrastructure of the program.

But is it impressive how good they are every year when they are a fully recruiting baseball factory? I mean it’s a college baseball recruit select team masquerading as a high school program

Miller k’d 18 iirc. You gotta tip your cap to that, no matter how your team fares.

If this is what Barbe is doing, hand them the trophy now. We’re all playing for second place




You are so butthurt.

Can't accept SWLA has more baseball talent than NOLA.

Who does Barbe recruit?

The entire Lake Charles area is incredible at baseball.

What, nobody else gets a power hitting catcher from Puerto Rico (I think) into their school district legit?

I get the “Barbe recruits” line when shite like that happens, but most of those kids have been homegrown for decades.

I’m from Houma. I’m aware of what they did. And it’s incredible. Great story. But they had a home field for games. They had to use someone else’s.

Any chance we can get D1 Baseball to stream some of the games so we can’t watch them?

True. It is pretty sad because we have 1.3 million in our area and LC area is like 300k

Check out UL’s roster. There’s a kid listed as: Kinder, LA (Barbe HS). The kid that was at LSU last year: Sulphur, LA (Barbe HS).

Many of these over the years, though Sam Houston may now have the crown of kids from most different places.

Baseball power ratings will not matter until the last week of the season. Bolton is ranked 2nd in Division 2 Select

Quite a few Barbe players that wanted to start would go to Sam Houston.
