Maybe not in 2 years… but in 4 years think you see 4-5 Orleans public schools of 5A size Do we then see a district of Chalmette, Easton, and 3-4 other Orleans publics?


That means some really historic names in NOLA would be closing… I can’t see that happening

And if public schools are closing I would think some Catholic schools might too

Maybe one or two smaller charters hang on

No way that many close… Willow in particular has too much political clout and $$$$$ to go anywhere

Ruston has a YouTube stream aas well Not for this. They had it on the scoreboard Monday that they wouldn’t stream it.


Rustons broadcasts are great video quality but hard to listen to

Crescent City is a quality broadcast with announcers that generally do quite a bit of homework. I’ve always enjoyed them.

Who owns Berman?


I think InspireNola Charter Schools, have some control over the stadium, now. Something happened with the stadium this past summer.

Only Sunday through Wednesday, under a 10 year agreement approved by the City Council last May. Thursday- Saturday, Inspire Nola runs the stadium.

Yeah that’s what I figured not enough fields/stadiums


Holy Cross used to play at Chalmette High as their “home” stadium on Saturdays back in the day because of the lack of stadiums

Unless there is a major change.. demographics are about to hammer the school board

Not to mention Landry’s stunt on the $2,000 bonus thing is causing a lot of districts to ask a lot of questions. .

That might be one of the small charters that survives

I remember that year. Chalmette missed the playoffs again so the stadium was available.

And the Holy Cross/Evangel game was a quarterfinal game. And yes, Holy Cross did get soundly beaten by eventual 5A champ Evangel.

This was after Holy Cross won 2 playoff road games at Lafayette and Destrehan.

Did I mention Chalmette didn't make the playoffs that year. But at least you got to see Holy Cross defeated in the quarterfinals. That's something to hold onto. That was like 25 years ago too.

No shite, we were 2-8. We were young and couldn’t play defense worth a crap. A lot of kids saw their first varsity action that eventually beat you 41-6 and went 10-0.

You were the 19th seed and won at Airline 26-14 in round 1. Evangel was round 2. You can look it up. They went on to beat Shaw in the quarterfinals, Rummel in the semis, and West Monroe in the Dome.
