re: The toughest schedule being played in LHSAA class 5A this year is… (not who you think)

it’s a common theme for Brother Martin football. They’re really cheap and don’t want to pay stadium fees so they’d rather play away games and make the parents/fans travel.

But won’t the schedule flip in 2027?

Ha. This is completely made up. The ironic part of this statement is that as Brother Martin is currently building a new on campus baseball stadium / football practice facility, the team rents and practices at Gormley basically every day.

Side topic… Chalmette is playing Curtis at Muss Bertolino. I know space is tight with Zephyr Field unavailable, but how in the world is a Catholic League team playing at Bertolino? I think their capacity is like 1500.

They put new stands at Bertolino for the visitors side so it’s no longer a joke there

I will agree we’re not there to beat Karr and Curtis, but we’ll probably be better than the last time we were in the Catholic League (which was better than Tucker’s first two years in 07-08). We followed up the 11-12 cycle with a two year 13-14 cycle where we didn’t make the playoffs in the JP district. It clicked for us when we played John Ehret close in 2014, and then swept the rest of the district, and we haven’t looked back since.

07 scores (counting HC too even though they were in 4A for all of these seasons)- 0-42, 0-42, 0-49, 0-19, 6-45 (I still remember how crazy we went for that 6 vs Rummel on a school record touchdown pass)

08 scores- 3-36, 10-41, 0-49, 0-40, 0-41 (a group of kids that had Katrina, school consolidation, three head coaches, and moved up in class twice in their high school career)

11 scores- 20-17 win over HC, 0-28, 12-38, 13-35 (against West Jeff under Marcus Scott which was also no joke then), 6-48 (those four losses were our only losses and we missed the state playoffs by one spot, after #33 Central bumped us out due to winning a district championship)

12 scores- 6-31, 7-35, 13-34, 7-29 (in 13 we upset West Jeff which you could argue was us turning the corner before 2014), 0-49

Luckily for them, their three toughest games are "home games."
