Curtis said screw that we're happy dominating the lower tier classifications and bragging about our 20 state titles which essentially created the split.



Didn't they win 8 4-A titles before the split? It's not like they were in 2A for all their titles. The LHSAA forced them and Evangel back down for a while.

I was counting the coaches as part of the System. It’s not a knock against Curtis

All of the winning brought about a lot of the hate, too.

I was in high school in the early 2000s and it seemed a lot of the hate was coming from Curtis claiming to be the best in state while not playing up in classification to 5A like Evangel was doing at the time.

Yep, but none of those 4A titles were the highest classification in the state. They could have chosen to join the big boys in 5A like Evangel, but instead said "Nah, we're good!"

Every private school recruits. I mean they literally have to in order to have a school bc it costs $ to attend. Also there aren’t the free rides like people think. The school that can probably give away the most scholarship $ is a school like Jesuit who has a huge endowment.

Credit where credit is due to the Karr coaching staff with that fake punt call on 4th and 20 and converting to not give the ball back to Rummel with a chance to tie


Exactly. They realized with the wind being strong in their face, a punt wasn’t going far any way. They obviously watched the BM/Rummel game the week before and saw they what a strong headwind would do to punting game.

Instead of bashing them on a board, both are easy to find go tell them in person

Well, bashing them on a board is about as much time as I will put into that cause...

Besides, who would expect a fake on a 4th and 20 punt... It was a gamble and it obviously paid off, good on the Karr coaching staff for calling it.... Shame on Rummel, and the coaching staff, not stopping it.

I thought JT’s dad coached before him?

ETA: yep, you’re right. The dad founded the school and JT’s been the head coach since them

It’s terrible and stupid. It’s high school not rec ball…. Do your job and stop the other team.

And yes - the worst part is the plays/time those backups don’t get.especially the older kids who this may be their only chance to touch the field

Hand pick best players in a 40 mile radius. I hope you do win championships. They sat in 4-A for years

At least they basically guaranteed the New Orleans area a dome appearance and a championship a lot of kids got championship rings and college offers they wouldn’t have got at their home schools

Well after watching teams struggle punting in a strong wind last week and watching Karr punt the ball like 10yds earlier that quarter, I think Rummel should have at least have thought about them doing it.

So people are pissed Curtis took kids from their “home schools” to give them a chance at a better environment, accountability, and structure in their system?

Good Lord, y'all need to step back from the pc / phone and just enjoy life more than you hate Curtis. I’ve come across a lot of people who are grateful for what they got at Curtis…..can’t say the same for other places. When your name is on the school and your family runs it, the product is completely different than most sports / academic environments in the GNO area…..and for the better.

Even at 2-5, I’m certain everyone in their lock room (and their opponents) knows they’re capable of making a run for another title.

Heck, weren’t they 5-5 or something in 2024 and lost to ASH in the semifinals in a close game.

Everyone seems to hate Curtis based on their success….just admit it…..while they’ve done more for kids who school systems failed them.

I agree, coaches should’ve at least made that clear… Maybe they did, maybe not, I dunno..

I don’t hate Curtis, I just don’t like their fan base. It’s like Wimprine x’s 10.

Last year at The Shrine, I ran a bunch of Curtis students off when they were trying to start shite with the Rummel student section.

Personally, I like JT Curtis, he’s actually a very likable and a very nice person.

Thanks for proving my point…

This is where you are sadly mistaken, because coaches jobs depend on them finding dudes where ever they are.
