re: 2026 Louisiana HS Baseball Season

I’ve seen it taught to go in standing up like the runner from Sam Houston did when a 1st baseman is straddling the bag.
However Dutchtown’s 1st baseman was not straddling the bag which makes what the runner did absolute BS.

Nobody would go for that. Especially schools that play in tougher districts. Why would you want to reward a team more who is in a district with softer teams.

I certainly was not happy about the decisions that were made and wore my emotions on my sleeve that night for sure.
I’m curious as to what decisions you are talking about. I am just an outsider looking in that had a kid graduate in the BR area a few years ago. Just looking at both of those teams you are referring to, I don’t believe St Michael is anywhere near the talent level of Brusly. Was a “coaching decision” really the root cause of a blowout loss?
Most Overrated Shot in Tiger Woods’ Career

Has to be the “flop shot” at the 2012 Memorial. Announcers talking about how difficult it was.
In reality- the lie was not terrible and the wind was back into his face.
Now I’m not saying I would jar it like he did, but in terms of that shot being “difficult” no! I would say a 0-3 handicap could get that ball up and down pretty easily.

And I am not knocking the coach for how he scheduled. When your a successful program like Neville is, you schedule difficult to challenge your team.
It’s just sad that a few bad years will lead to this.

Scheduling difficult competition is better for your team, however no brainwashed travel ball parent these days is going to understand 17-15 against quality competition is better than 22-6 against 1A, B, and C schools
You risk your job scheduling difficult these days with the mentality of the parents. Teams could manipulate their schedules to get 20+ wins every year regardless of the talent on their team.

The coach makes the schedule though…
Getting let go from Dunham after a successful year and homie hopping all over Louisiana the past 10 years speaks volumes also.
If a professional golfer played the island he would tear it up. From the tips, the par 3’s are most challenging, but the par 4’s and 5’s would be very gettable. Pro’s would have a wedge in their hand on a par 4 very often.
With little to no wind and dry conditions
1- something over the trees then wedge
2- Can get there in two
3- 180 yards
4- 3 wood then wedge
5- 3 wood then wedge
6- Cut the corner then wedge
7- Can get there in two
8- 190 yards
9- 3 wood then wedge/9iron staying short to avoid trap and water
10- Driver then wedge
11- Biggest challenge.. would probably go iron then have a mid/short iron into the green
12- Can get there in two
13- 160 yards
14- Driver then wedge
15- Drivable
16- 190 yards
17- Driver wedge
18- Can get there in two

It’s baseball bro, that’s why it’s the sport that plays the most games in its season. There’s such things as slumps/skids
Remember when scona was telling us to stop making the claim that he was injured after the SLU game because he looked “good” and nothing is wrong with him
He will never play it in high school/college so why waste reps there and not get him better in the OF or 1B

Another left their Senior year and ended up getting a college offer.
I can tell you with certainty that this guy could not throw a strike, probably why he didn’t pitch as much as he or daddy wanted him to at St Michael
Saban was in his 50’s, coached under Belichick, head coach experience at multiple schools.
You trying to compare that to a 35 year old whose career record is 22-17.
LSU is also a way better job now than it was in 1999

He was our next top target if Lane Kiffin fell through. Just finished the year 8-5 with back to back losses to Arizona and Duke.
Would have been an absolute failure of a decision if we would have brought him in.

I agree, I think I’m still going to take a shot
Dallas out of playoff contention with nothing to play for this week. Lamb and Pickens were in casinos the morning of a game a few weeks ago when they were in the mix.

I hate to say this being an LSU fan.. however Alabama is +1800 to win the National Championship playing an Indiana team with 0 experience and then facing winner of Oregon/Tx Tech to get to finals. I find that extremely valuable.
If they were to make it I could hedge the opposite way.

Ole Miss Walk of Champions

“Pete Golding will not be leading the players down the walk of champions today”
I heard he’s not doing the pregame speech, or leading the team out of the locker room, or calling any timeouts, or accepting a game ball if they win.. today is all about the players
