Brian West was a sandwich pick in 99. Does that count?

Booty and Todd Walker both went in top 10 in '93. Booty signed the record deal at the time. Which kept him from coming to LSU and winning 3 Heismans and the '94 and '95 CWS. With Booty at SS, we win 5 CWS in a row, and 7 of 10 between 91-2000

So what’s the deal with Simoneaux and Cecchini beefing after the game last night?

West Monroe wrote “ourselves” instead of Barbe as the opponent on the scorecard

Which they did all year. He was the only one to say a word/take offense.

Yeah, what’s up with up? I follow Barbe but isn’t Glenn Cecchini known to be an a-hole?

I mean, that’s kind of weird as soon as you win the state title you run over and talk shite to the other coach.

But that’s not what caused it to get heated. Barbe coach told every West Monroe player, “Take that!” in the handshake line after the game. West Monroe coach called him out and Barbe coach got hot.

If this is true the Barbe coach may be the biggest a-hole coach in the state.

He is a great baseball mind but I’ve known many guys that have played for him.

He’s a little off center and loses his voice after every game. Anything will piss him off. And he runs that school so nobody will ever tell him to back down.

The team had a sign made that they showed WM after the pileup that said “you mad cause you ain’t us” or something like that.

They have a history of doing bush league shenanigans like that. I don’t mind kids talking a little trash to each other, but coaches should never talk or act competitively towards another teams kids. Cecchini and his assistants have always done that crap.

Cecchini also can’t handle anyone except for him, taking little jabs, or being disrespectful towards other coaches. The second there’s any sign of disrespect towards Barbe, he becomes a diva. He thinks he’s the only one who can be disrespectful and bush league towards other teams. Writing down “Ourselves” as the opponent on a scorecard, is very mild compared to what Barbe has done for years now. It’s a shame because he’s a great coach, has built an insane baseball program, and has done great things for kids in LC. I don’t know why he feels the need to act like that.
