Talk to an asst at the school that turned them in or a former coach - they will probably tell you.


If there was some superstar, you might have an argument. But I defy you to point out one kid that the team could not have lost and won these championships. Hell they lost the starting QB the last 4 games and had to start a freshman and it didn’t affect them. This was just a well coached, hard working bunch of kids.

so many bitches are jealous of dem bears.

I agree. That’s all it is. What’s funny is that Catholic has always been good, but this past year was only their 3rd State Championship. But for years, they have given scholarships to needy students that came out with excellent education and a bright future. So to all of you that are jealous , just what is it that you were jealous of ? Kids being given an opportunity they would have likely never had a chance at ?

This is totally false. Fertitta basically put out a recruiting manual to his assistant coaches and assigned them to BREC teams, middle school teams, Catholic school teams and various little league teams. It was more widespread than you think. Then they got into it with a former ninth grade coach that was at another school. Both schools went to the LHSAA about each other. There were plenty of emails, text, pictures, etc on Catholic. Dutchtown coach had nothing to do with reporting it


I fail to see the problem ? Just where do you think they would get students and players ?

Why doesn’t anyone want to say what they were doing? Y’all are sharing more about the kids involved than the actual violations.
__________________________________________
Supposedly some texts about kids coming from Dutchtown. Kids that never started a single down and only played sparingly when the game was out of reach. Not one kid that played in these 4 years as a starter is a subject of the investigation. There are a lot of politics involved in this, and some whining from a coach.

feel for the kids who worked hard, overcame obstacles, and went out champions only to have their accomplishments smeared. I have told my son that I don't care what LHSAA, the media or random internet folks say. He and his team are champions.


Exactly. These kids know how they won and it wasn’t from cheating. They will always be recognized as state champions by those that know. The 2019 team that lost in the championship game was one of the best teams this state has ever seen, they destroyed good opponents and fought the hard games to win against the very best like STM out of Lafayette. The work ethic, desire, selfless team work they demonstrated will be with them the rest of their lives. There was no superstar, just a TEAM of average hard working kids that put it all together on the field. With not a single player that was recruited. That can never be taken from them.

going with the idea that Catholic doesn’t recruit because your grandson wasn’t recruited.......that ain’t it.

You can’t possibly have orange and black glasses that thick huh?

Also, you saying if someone has proof of something, then turn them in......well it looks like that happened


Where did I say they didn’t recruit ? I’m saying it was a technical violation that didn’t amount to a hill of beans and didn’t enhance the team to affect winning on the field where it counts. From what I understand it was a text. If they had just talked to the parents, wouldn’t have been a violation they could prove. And if you don’t think this goes on at many schools including Central, you are delusional. Central always has players from out of district, enticed to come there. I remember a star running back there a few years ago that was dumb as a rock but was allowed to play under something called non diploma bound. At least at Catholic, you make the grades or you don’t play.

Exactly what happened and we know who it is.

I've been around the Prairieville program for a long time. I know you can't name more than 2 players that went to Catholic High. And trust me, these were not Star player

Those 2 are what started the investigation because the coach over there whines about it. Neither one played, never started a down.

That is correct. And the people North of it get the water that backs up because it has no place to go.

I hate the beach, when I hook up to my camper I’m heading North. Screw the traffic, already have to put up with it enough going to work. 1.5-2 hrs going home in the afternoons to go just 14 miles.

ForLSU56, just a little note on your comment. I’ve studied this for years, a P&Z, City Government, has never been sued successfully when it comes to flood plain management and FEMA guidelines. In fact, very few cases where they have been sued by developers and lost. These elected officials are using that as an excuse, they have the ultimate power when it comes to approval IF it’s not arbitrary and it’s backed by code. This can be stopped, and it’s well past time it is. These cases have been all the way to the SCOTUS and La Supreme Court and upheld.
