Warren Easton vs Brother Martin

Looking into the history of this matchup and it’s actually pretty wild.
These two schools used to battle it out constantly back in the St. Aloysius days. They even played the first formal Catholic vs. Public city championship game back in 1955. But for some reason, they've only played about 10 times in recent history. Just feels odd for two historic NOLA programs to have such a huge gap when they have that much history.
The series has actually been surprisingly close lately when they do play, so tomorrow night should be a good game. They are streaming it on 3deeplamedia youtube for free

No. Easton was hit very hard by graduation last year. They have some athletes but are young.
Holy Cross handled them easily last week. The game wasn't really as close as the score, 36-21. Should have been 40 something to 7.
Holy Cross has a competitive defense but they really struggle on offense.
Brother Martin will be able to name the score and play a ton of backups.

The history of Jesuit vs Easton is wild too.
quote:
Between 1914 and 1955, the gridiron battle between Jesuit and Easton was the premier match of the high school sports year, and (unlike today) covered like a glove by the city’s daily newspapers, which were ardent rivals among themselves.
But, the annual clash of titans came to an inglorious end following the 1955 season when the administrations of the two schools canceled the series because of the vandalism students from each school had perpetrated on the other’s campus during the weeks prior to the games, according to news reports.
Jesuit won the 1955 meeting, 23-7, which was also the last game between local public and Catholic rivals in the same league. The Catholic League was formed in 1956.
quote:
Boys High, which was renamed Warren Easton, and Jesuits College, later called Jesuit, played first in 1901. The fierce competition often determined the city and state championship during the decades to come.
The largest recorded crowd for a game between the two was 33,000 at Tulane Stadium in 1936. Easton won that game, 6-0. The crowd outdrew the attendance at the first Sugar Bowl.

You really don't know the reason?
Just think about what happened about 55-60 years ago to public schools in New Orleans. Think about the old 11-AAAA. It's not too difficult to figure out.

It’s like Warren Easton has been two different schools as demographics have changed…

First time I saw Spann was at a Babe Ruth All Star game at Skelly on the West Bank. He was facing Mickey Guidry who was pitching for the Westbank Babe Ruth team and who would go on to quarterback for LSU. They were all about 15.
Tookie hit one off of Guidry that might still be flying.
He was some kind of athlete. Three year football letterman at Tulane, 4 years baseball.
Many many years later I saw him stumbling around a Rite Aid on Canal St in Mid City. He was in a bad state.
Not the first time he's been discussed here.
Maybe some of the Brother Martin people can fill in the gaps. I know he was on an absolutely loaded Wendy's Legion team that went to the Legion World Series and won a state championship for BM.
