I forgot about West Monroe in 1997.
Much like DLS > West Monroe has sadly faded away.
Both still play above average football though.

What the fuck are you talking about? DLS finished 30th in the country this year. 22nd nationally the year before
In fact, the worst national ranking they have had in the last 20 years is 70th nationally.
They would be fucking number 1 or 2 in Louisiana every single year since the 1980s!
Don't try and lump some powerhouse in with some bad Louisiana team who gets running clocks put on them by Florida second round 3A losers.
Nothing has changed with DLS, except for the fact that they have to play some global transfer factory in the finals every year
DLS once won 151 games in a row, > these days they can't win 13 games in a row 🤠 and it's not uncommon for DLS to drop 2, 3 even 4 games in a year.

Just because Louisiana football is garbage and gets destroyed yearly by the panhandle of Florida and Mississippi, Texas, etc. Doesnt mean you have to lash out at these other states and teams.

There's nothing to "buy"
The results are irrefutable. You can't argue facts.61-31 in the last 70 years. And that's including games like 93rd Florida Escambia beating the tar out of Lousiana top 10 Rummel and Escambia again missing the playoffs at 7-3 in a garbage district beating down State Finalist John Curtis who almost won state at the very end. That's also including a slew of 0-3 win Florida teams Louisiana won against.
Again these are facts. I have every score, year and matchup. Ask me anything.

I have every result. Not just maxpreps scores. All of them. And what's crazy is John Curtis played Choctaw,FL during their 2 worst years in school history. They went 1-9 and 2-8 the years Curtis played them. It was their 2 worst years. Funny timing. And the craziest thing was Curtis won state the year they played 2-8 Choctaw,FL and the final score was 27-21!!!!!!!
This is not serious football!!!!

Neither is NO longer feared.
I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings.
Red Flag is surrounded by garbage. So naturally he thinks everything everywhere else is garbage. But that's because it's all he knows. He doesn't understand that DLS' worst year in the last 2 decades is 70th nationally! That puts them 1 or 2 in Louisiana every single year.
So it makes sense why he thinks DLS isn't good. Because 1 or 2 in LA typically isn't that good. On a national level

You always have excuses on why Lousiana teams shit the bed. Queen of the excuses. Just a punk.
Someone posted like a day ago about a Cali team losing because they were without their D1 quarterback and some other playmakers and you said it was an excuse. Pussy. You don't know shit about football.
Fact is 2-8 Choctaw was whipping pussy State Champ Curtis up and down the field all damn night, then did what 2-8 teams do and choke it away at the end.

DLS needed a last minute TD to win 10-6. And it was a rematch of when Lakeland went and beat California State Champ DLS years back.
I bet Lakeland has better OOS wins all time than Lousiana.
In fact I can probably find 20 Florida teams that have a better resume than the entire state of Louisiana the last 15 years.
Please post the list you got. 3 loss Mississippi and 3 loss TAPPS. Lakeland beating State Champ DLS is better than that shit!!!!

John Curtis wins via the running clock 31-6 in the State Championship game

Plus someone who is 2-8 team is a glorified junior varsity team. There is literally no excuse for a state champion powerhouse to be in a four-quarter down to the wire war with them. You should be able to win easily with no game plan and no practice waking up Friday morning to find out you're playing a game. And still win easy against a 2-8 team.
Choctaw didn't know if they were even going to play the game. Missed a ton of practice. Both teams were at equal strength.
2–8, Florida panhandle JV team gave state champion John Curtis a light years more difficult game than their state champion opponent. And that's a fact Jack!
#NoExcuses
I still think it's funny that John Curtis just happened to play Choctaw during their two worst years in the 50 year history of football at their school.
This punk has been playing JV teams for decades.

You think I don't recall 2005 and what the boards were talking about? Curtis was taking in all of the kids that were displaced. The joke was, it's even easier to transfer in to Curtis right now. I don't need a book that will sensationalize a team to make it seem like they overcame some difficult crap to win their crappy division.

Curtis did have to push the start of the season back to September 30 which was not common among the other top Louisiana teams that season. Without paying to read a book that I'd guess is some vanity press it seems fair that there were some obstacles they experienced based on that.
AT THE SAME TIME, this was a team that had the nation's top junior recruit (Joe McKnight) in the backfield and was playing 2A ball. Yes they lost their opener to a good 5A team and scraped by a bad OOS team the next week but after that they didn't have a game decided by less than two scores so the "they were lucky to even be playing" seems exaggerated.
The online descriptions of the book paint it to be a celebration of an old-school educator-coach that doesn't do things the modern way and overcame obstacles to achieve unexpected greatness. So like I said, it's a vanity press.

Joe McKnight started the year at Evangel Christian and played two games there before returning to John Curtis.
John Curtis had displaced players in 11 different states including California. Slowly, they started returning.
Curtis did pick up some transfers in 2006 when other city schools officially closed down. The LHSSA approved the transfers and just wanted to get kids in schools.
Most of the team that was able to hang around lived in FEMA trailers and homes without power. Food was also pretty scarce.
It's all the book..
It was not a very pleasant time in South Louisiana and really Louisiana.

East St John, who beat John Curtis Week 1 of that Hurricane Season picked up over 20 transfers from all over South Louisiana. Johnny Thiel, the starting John Curtis QB transferred there.
East St John is about 30 miles from NOLA.
They made a movie about their season. It was pretty good too.
People just really have NO idea how big Hurricane Katrina was and the impact it had in Louisiana and Mississippi. Simply put, nothing was really right for quite some time.
I guess the books and movies about it all don't compare to all the books and movie/s about DLS winning 151 high school football games in a row...... but nevertheless, Hurricane Katrina was very very real.
DLS winning 151 games in a row still doesn't seem quite real to me..... but they fluffed it pretty good especially in the movie...
My Rummel Raiders were only able to play 6 games in the Hurricane Season (2005). .. which was really a blessing because some teams played 0 games and had their schools totally wiped off the map.
We beat up on some local teams that were in worse shape than we were and then got blown out in the 5A playoffs

I think people were more receptive to this before COVID when - even in the face of great uncertainty - the top teams came out on the other side unscathed. Obviously not an identical context or scale but generally speaking we have a good grasp of who the winners and losers would be in the event of a widespread catastrophe.

ECA and West Monroe were your states dominant teams during those years. Which one of them was effected by Katrina?
Curtis would've been effected, but mainly the crappy privates from the crappy league you prop up such as : Holy Cross, John Ehret, Augustine, Rummel etc and the crappy public schools from NOLA.
Louisiana not fielding nationally elite teams in the current landscape can be explained by one, and only one reason: money. Louisiana is a poor state with very little in the way of areas of concentrated wealth. This means there aren't really any programs with lots of financial backing. And that means there aren't any programs that can load up and consistently get a large concentration of the best talent in the area. And that's what schools have to do to be able to compete on the national stage in this day and age.
This also explains why another state with lots of great players- Mississippi- also never fields a nationally elite team. If there were programs that could load up on transfers etc and get a near monopoly on the best local talent- a la Mater Dei, SJB BG- in either Mississippi or Louisiana, said program(s) would be able to play with and beat *anyone*.
The above dynamic also explains, in reverse anyway, why teams in western states not named California are often much better than are recognized, or that you would expect based on the quantity of talent available statewide. There are pockets of great wealth in suburban Phoenix, suburban Seattle and even the SLC region in Utah. There isn't anywhere near the concentration of talent in those states as there is Louisiana and Mississippi, but there are very wealthy programs that are well-off enough to get a near monopoly on the best players in the region. So, you get some real all-star teams in those states that are soemtimes good enough to win on the national stage.

I don't know about all that.
Louisiana and Mississippi have some of the best football.
facilities in the nation much better than Flordia. Plenty of money when it comes to high school sports In Louisiana and Mississippi
We just do NOT play transfer ball or roster raid every offseason down here.
Everybody in South Florida this year has a brand new QB that transferred in already. I hope they work out.
In South Florida alone they will most likely be between 500 and 1,000 transfers this year. My guess.
That's just not going to happen in Louisiana and if you think it is you're just kidding yourself.
Louisiana is about as pure as it comes when it comes to high school football.
Think Crystal Blue Lake without the transfer pollution.
Louisiana and Florida high school football coaches are almost paid identical salaries.
I saw the Carrollton, GA head coach makes almost $220,000 a year.
I really don't know how good that guy is, but that's not going to happen in Louisiana. These Cajun coaches just love it and would probably coach for minimum wage

If there were programs that could load up on transfers etc and get a near monopoly on the best local talent- a la Mater Dei, SJB BG- in either Mississippi or Louisiana, said program(s) would be able to play with and beat *anyone*.
Louisiana (https://www.lhsaa.org/siteuploads/editorimg/file/25-26%20Alignments/9-15-25/Football%202025%20-%202026.pdf) has all of 11 schools with over 2000 students; Mississippi (https://www.misshsaa.com/2022/11/03/2023-25-reclassification-enrollment-numbers/) has none. That to me is a far bigger factor than money or even transfers has in building nationally-elite squads.
Quote from: Nolebull813 on Apr 22, 2026, 06:05 PMHere's some transfers with 30 seconds of research
QB Cooper Odle - University Lab to Holy Cross
QB Jacori Platt - Central to Zachary
RB Jaden Celestine - Comeaux to ARCA
RB Dashun Lightfoot - Franklin to Acadiana
WR Reginald Monroe - Hammond to ASH
WR Julian Rideau - Hamilton Christian to Barbe
WR Calvin Ursin - Live Oak to Dunham
LB Shamar Evans - Forest (MS) to Ruston
DB Karon Eugene - Catholic-NI to Westgate
and two or three are relevant, Gaybob813 if they are even approved. That takes three or four months.
Nine transfers going into May in Louisiana. Shocking!
And you don't have to search for shit. There's a transfer tracker thread on the Louisiana forum where you got that.
Dumb fuck!
I just absolutely 100% hate a dumb f***!.

What does school size have to do with anything?
10 years from now Allen High School in Texas will have 9,000 students and a 3,000 member band 🤠🏈🤠.
They really do underachieve what that enrollment!

The easiest path to high school football success is to have more fast kids, more strong kids, and more big kids. The easiest path to achieve that is to have access to more kids.

It's almost as though none of those things are exclusive to smaller schools. Weird.
Since 1990, the panhandle is 41-16 against the entire state of Louisiana!!

That's the same shit anyone can say from a big city. If the 3-5 best schools from one area combined they would be unstoppable. The Plano schools all have 5,000-6,000 plus and none of them are powerhouses. Why's that?

The absurdity of it all is that Allen is a very good (if not great) program. Their big shortcoming as it currently stands is they are losing to other programs with giant enrollments.

Basha is a White, Hispanic and Asian school.
4.9%-5% African American.
So that means there's roughly between 140 and 145 African Americans at Basha High School which has an enrollment right at 3000.
My best guess is Basha will be busted very soon for recruiting similar to Hamilton in 2022?
Depending on what site you use.. 👇

Basha has less than 2500 students. (https://aiaonline.org/alignments/) Those are the official numbers as reported for alignment purposes; the higher number seen elsewhere is due to this report that includes sixth through eighth grades for some reason. (https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&DistrictID=0401870&ID=040187002250)
(That's actually a big reason Basha's program struggled with consistency before McDonald took over - they had 1000 kids less than Chandler and Hamilton and thanks to back to back to back botched coaching hires they were likely losing neighborhood kids to the more successful programs.)
Your big "smoking gun" that there's "recruiting" going on is that Basha's black enrollment is marginally LESS than the county's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maricopa_County%2C_Arizona)?
I've said it before and I'll say it again...
You're BAD at this.
I guess this coach finally had enough of Hamilton and a couple other schools coming after his players.

Truthfully, You're not looking at this in the right perspective either.
Allen has roughly 3,400 to 3,500 boys!! How could they not be good at football?
Allen has more "boys" than Basha, AZ has "students".
Allen and Ruston were very close to agreeing on a home and home this year, but at the end of the day Allen did not want to pack their shit next year. I'll have to check, but Ruston may have 600 boys in the school. Ruston is not a very big school, but they are flat loaded this year and if the OL/DL gel they will be a bear.
Point!
Louisiana's never been worried about size too much. The state is just built a little different
"Allen High School is the largest high school in Texas, competing in the highest classification, Class 6A, with a 2024-26 reported enrollment of 6,947. For the 2026-27 realignment, Allen is in District 6-6A, which includes Plano East, McKinney, and Prosper. They are renowned for their $60 million, 18,000-seat stadium"

Rusty got the tar beat of them by 4A Stephenville and needed a miracle last second score at home with home cooking to beat one of the worst Longview teams in recent memory. They did not want any of what Allen had!!!!

Again, Allen is not playing a host of teams with small enrollments; all but one of the teams on their 2025 schedule had an enrollment of over 2000, with the majority of those being in excess of 3000 students. Even when you have the LARGEST ENROLLMENT POSSIBLE the advantages of that are blunted by teams with a similar (not even equal) advantage.

How many kids go to school means absolutely nothing.What means something in this case is how many of those kids are good at football. If you have a 600 enrollment and 100 are good at football it's trumps 3000 with only 50 good at football.

He thinks this is the point he's making but is using the worst "gotcha" ever (a team that's finished the year #1 in Texas four times since 2011 and is routinely a top 10 squad in a state with 1300 11-man teams) to do so.

Allen playing any school in Texas is an enrollment mismatch no matter how hard you try to spin it.
Allen started playing football in 1939.
They won their first state championship in 2008.
Allen had a good run 2012, 2013 and 2014 led by transfer QB Kyler Murray. Go figure....had Kyler Murray not transferred to Allen they most likely would be stuck on 2 state championships
Allen's last state championship was 2017......9 years ago.
Sure, they play good football.
Anyways, is what it is
When American Heritage-Delray went to Louisiana they had 500 kids in the school, 40 players on the team, and they put a running clock on West Monroe who had over 2,000 enrollment and 100 plus kids on the team.
The issue for West Monroe was they were from a bad football state. Enrollment didn't play a factor
Quote from: Redzone on Apr 22, 2026, 05:27 PMI don't know about all that.
Louisiana and Mississippi have some of the best football.
facilities in the nation much better than Flordia. Plenty of money when it comes to high school sports In Louisiana and Mississippi
We just do NOT play transfer ball or roster raid every offseason down here.
I'm only speaking about the conditions needed to field a national powerhouse. No one high school, as far as we can tell, has large enough financial support to distinguish itself from many other schools. This affects recruiting transfers as well. And you can't create a national power without being able to get transfers.

The size of the school has little to do with building a power. The one point worth making is that a large school has that many more sets of parents who will be supporting (i.e. buying tickets, merch etc) the program, and the probability of getting larger private donations goes up.
But, as pointed out earlier with Plano, if there are many huge schools within a given region, then they end up back having a hard time distinguishing themselves from others.
The recipe nowadays for building a national power is to have a program that has name recognition/history and/or resources that distinguish that school from others in the area such that they get dibs on most all the top players in an area. You have to stack your roster with area all-stars to be a top 30 national team.

And Calvary barely won. Delray beat the living tar out of them. Big difference. It is pathetic that you think Calvary barely winning makes it any less embarrassing for baby Delray to put a running clock on them

Do you sincerely believe that - with all other things being equal - that most prospective head coaches are going to opt to coach at a school of 1000 students instead of one with 3000? If the goal is to build a program that can maximize it's success the answer is obvious.
Talking about the "recipe" to building a national power and citing name recognition is frankly not helpful nor accurate; ten years ago Bingham and Mountain Pointe were names every national high school football fan knew, and now they are complete afterthoughts (hell, we had a Newhall Hart mention not that long ago). Conversely, I remember Peoria Centennial getting dragged on the previous board after they lost to Peoria Liberty in 2017; I specifically remember a number of "not even Vegas Liberty" remarks. Two years later the Arizona Liberty took out Vegas Liberty and within five years they'd thrash Valor Christian, have a close call with Corona Centennial, and weren't having their national credentials questioned by anyone but the most narrow-minded of fans (Basha and Corner Canyon have had similar paths). The easiest pathway to "name recognition" is to win a ton of games, and that journey is helped out when you have a lot of great athletes. Even when recruiting and open enrollment is the norm if you are able to leverage those tools AND have an enrollment edge you're going to have a leg-up on the competition.
The way you build a national powerhouse, is everytime you play a football game, you have at least one more point than your opponent

The year American Heritage Delray beat West Monroe 31-7 they also beat National Power Chaminade Madonna 31-14......wait, Chaminade Madonna was just a little Florida piss ant then, they went 8-3.
A few years later Chaminade Madonna realized they had to "brand"...... so they went out and printed up 25,000 t-shirts and started spending millions of dollars on football players/transfers.
They won a State Championship in 2021. Now they are considered a National Power on the scene....wait, that's NOT even right.
St Frances put a running clock on Chaminade Madonna last year (35-0) and reminded Chaminade-Madonna they are still that same little piss ant Florida school from a few years ago, but now they have a national brand. 🤠🏈🤠
I think this is what the other Florida delinquent was talking about. I can't be sure because I still don't understand what the f*** he was talking about.

Chaminade beat St Frances Academy by 3 touchdowns on ESPN a few years ago.
That win is better than any win the state of Lousiana has had in the last 20 years. I beg you to find a better win. I guarantee you won't.
It's definitely better than the top 2 games you listed, 3 loss Mississippi and 3 loss TAPPS!!!!
LMAO!!!!
Too funny. Little baby 2nd round loser American Heritage Delray put a running clock on large class stage semi finalist West Monroe AT West Monroe where they were kneeling the ball in the red zone because they didn't want to embarrass them more. Red Flag cried with pussy excuses about the coach being sick. Well didn't hurt them.
West Monroe finished like 6th in the state!!!!!!
Red flag is the biggest pussy ever with the most excuses ever.
"It was raining"
"The coach had the sniffles"
"Who cares if an OOS killed a top ranked Lousiana team. They lost by one score to another Louisiana team"
Pussy with the excuses!!!!
#61-31
The FL panhandle has clobbered the state of Lousiana for 7 decades and that doesn't even include these games
Worst STA team in 20 years beating the tar out of State champ John Curtis
4 loss Deer Jerkey beating top 10 Zachary 53-0
2nd round loser putting a running clock on Louisiana's 6th ranked team
Whoa that's some horrible football
Did I miss the list that red flag posted of all the top out-of-state wins for Louisiana the last 10 years? If so, can someone copy and paste it so I can see it
I still can't get over that. 1994-2003 (10 years) the panhandle of Florida is an eye popping 26-0 against the entire state of Louisiana
The mid 90's-early 2000's were the glory years in Louisana too. That's when no one was crying about rainstorms and coaches with headaches. No super teams. What you had is what you had!!!!
And the panhandle of FL was spanking that ass up and down the field for a damn decade!!!!!!
26 games. Panhandle Florida vs State of Lousiana
26 times panhandle of Florida whooped that ass!!!!!
#26-0
I need to clear the air about something. When I post that the panhandle is 61-31 in 70 years or 26-0 in a 10 year span or average South FL teams put running clocks on top ranked Losioana teams it's not to brag. Because it's not really a flex to beat top Lousiana teams.
The reason I post it is to remind the regulars and school the lurkers, that Lousiana high school football is hot garbage!!!!!!!

That's rich. A couple of years ago Mater Dei had no transfers and you kept bitching about them.

Huh? I'm not even sure what you're talking about. You go from one thing to the other.
Anyways, Santa Ana, CA has a population of 330,000 and Mater Dei is the only game in town. If any team needs transfers or to bus people in from Los Angeles Mater Dei would be that team. Santa Ana is a terrible football town.
Baton Rouge has a population of 220,000 and 7 teams have recently won state championships.
If Catholic was pulling the majority of football talent in Baton Rouge they would never be touched nationally. Baton Rouge is a football hot bed.
Central (Baton Rouge) put a running clock on Ruston in 2024 winning 42-0 In the 5A State Champ game. Central is a team on the rise in Baton Rouge they are now coached by the former head coach from Catholic.
Ruston beat Texas 6A semi-finalist Longview 21-10 in 2024.
.
False equivalence. Santa Ana is the 11th most populated city in California where Baton Rouge is 2nd in Lousiana
If you flipped the script (2nd in Cali, and 11th in Lousiana) I'm sure the numbers would be much different

Baton Rouge is nothing like Santa Ana. Baton Rouge is the equivalent of a city like Bakersfield. A big city and nothing around it.
Those teams won small division championships in Louisiana. That proves absolutely nothing.
Catholic just clubbed Central 57-28 this past year and 35-17 the year they beat Ruston.
Ruston beat Longview, a team that needed a miracle to beat Lancaster. Sell longview somewhere else with that weak ass division 2 path they had.
2024 The Central Wildcats walked into Memorial Stadium undefeated but left solidly defeated at the hands of the Catholic High Bears, who seized control early and never relented in a 35-17 district win Friday night.
Catholic (5-1, 2-0) played balanced football on offense. The Bears rushed for 179 yards, led by senior running back Rylan Parker, who gained 106 yards on 16 carries. Junior quarterback Baylor Graves completed an efficient 21 of 24 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns to lead the well-rounded Bears.
"The thing that we emphasize as a team is to have great focus and be unaffected by circumstances," Catholic coach Hudson Fuller said. "There were some ups and downs, but we didn't waver."
Catholic outgained Central, 413-214.
The Wildcats' potent run game was held to just 95 yards on 33 carries, with Central quarterback Jackson Firmin recording the longest rush for his team at 14 yards. Marvin Joseph was the Wildcats' leading rusher, with 42 yards on 13 carries and one score. Firmin threw for 119 yards, completing 9 of 17 passes. "Those guys outplayed us from start to finish," Central coach David Simoneaux said.
Quote from: Redzone on Apr 26, 2026, 05:40 AMThe year American Heritage Delray beat West Monroe 31-7 they also beat National Power Chaminade Madonna 31-14......wait, Chaminade Madonna was just a little Florida piss ant then, they went 8-3.
A few years later Chaminade Madonna realized they had to "brand"...... so they went out and printed up 25,000 t-shirts and started spending millions of dollars on football players/transfers.
They won a State Championship in 2021. Now they are considered a National Power on the scene....wait, that's NOT even right.
St Frances put a running clock on Chaminade Madonna last year (35-0) and reminded Chaminade-Madonna they are still that same little piss ant Florida school from a few years ago, but now they have a national brand. 🤠🏈🤠
I think this is what the other Florida delinquent was talking about. I can't be sure because I still don't understand what the f*** he was talking about.

I don't know what this means either, but there's plenty around Baton Rouge.
And for the record I said Central is on the rise with their new coaching staff they stole from Catholic. They won their first 5A state championship since 1966 in 2024.
Many Baton Rouge teams have defeated Catholic when Catholic has won state championships in Louisiana. Don't make me list them all and the years, you would be highly embarrassed.
I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure D2 University Lab (LSU campus) has beaten 3 D1 Catholic state championship teams. That's always a pretty good game. I guess if University Lab was from a different state it would be a much bigger deal.
Anyways,
Lastly Bakersfield is absolutely nothing like Baton Rouge.
Bakersfield has a 5% African American population. It's an Hispanic city....56% Hispanic
Baton Rouge has a 55% African American population, 70% in the City..... Athletes for days!
It's not surprising to anyone that you don't know any of this stuff.

The Metro Baton Rouge area is fairly large, not huge - but large. It's not like Baton Rouge is stuck in the middle of a desert.
Be better, Steeler01
The Baton Rouge metropolitan area has an estimated population of approximately 888,699 as of 2025, reflecting growth from the 2020 Census figure of 870,569. Recent data indicates the metro area is experiencing a record-high population, supported by industrial growth and economic development in the Capital Region.

Mater Dei is a private school, like Catholic.
They're within a 12 mile radius to a much larger population than Catholic has at their disposal within a 46 mile radius.
Santa Ana is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area primarily due to economic integration, urban sprawl, and official definitions from the U.S. Census Bureau that combine Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Though a distinct city in Orange County, its development is closely tied to Los Angeles via major infrastructure, including the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5), which connects it to LA.
Key reasons for its inclusion include:
Regional Economic Integration: Santa Ana and Orange County are considered a key part of the larger Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan statistical area, sharing labor markets and economic infrastructure.
Urban Sprawl and Growth: As the region developed, city boundaries effectively merged. Santa Ana grew rapidly, partly fueled by its early, historical rail connection to Los Angeles.
Official Definitions: The Census Bureau defines the "Greater Los Angeles" area as a five-county area (Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, and San Bernardino) due to commuting patterns and population density.
Historical Connection: Orange County was originally part of Los Angeles County before separating in 1889, ensuring long-term ties.
While Santa Ana has a distinct local identity as the seat of Orange County, it functions as a central suburb within the larger metropolitan economy.

Catholic doesn't need anything at their disposal. If they wanted to recruit football players they could just go down the street. What part of that don't you understand?

Nobody recruits, kids are aware of the top schools and parents send their kids to the best school available for whatever sport they're playing.
Give Catholic the Woodlawn kids. They'll be crap just like Woodlawn is.

Quote from: Redzone on Apr 25, 2026, 08:37 AMJust stop already with that nonsense!
If that's your way of saying Florida high schools are buying players I could probably believe that though.
Broke ass Carol City is racking up on transfers this year.
What's wrong with you people?
When some/many/most schools annually fill roster gaps with transfers, and some others don't, the others are at an obvious disadvantage. It's not really very hard to understand.
Carol City got all the transfers because they hired a highly respected OC named Toro Wallace from Chaminade to be head coach...at roughly the same time Northwestern had to run off Teddy Bridgewater and when Central has a relatively new and unproven head coach. And we live in a hive or tribal world full of people who follow trends and what is "in".
Quote from: Wooderson on Apr 25, 2026, 02:31 PMDo you sincerely believe that - with all other things being equal - that most prospective head coaches are going to opt to coach at a school of 1000 students instead of one with 3000? If the goal is to build a program that can maximize it's success the answer is obvious.
Talking about the "recipe" to building a national power and citing name recognition is frankly not helpful nor accurate; ten years ago Bingham and Mountain Pointe were names every national high school football fan knew, and now they are complete afterthoughts (hell, we had a Newhall Hart mention not that long ago). Conversely, I remember Peoria Centennial getting dragged on the previous board after they lost to Peoria Liberty in 2017; I specifically remember a number of "not even Vegas Liberty" remarks. Two years later the Arizona Liberty took out Vegas Liberty and within five years they'd thrash Valor Christian, have a close call with Corona Centennial, and weren't having their national credentials questioned by anyone but the most narrow-minded of fans (Basha and Corner Canyon have had similar paths). The easiest pathway to "name recognition" is to win a ton of games, and that journey is helped out when you have a lot of great athletes. Even when recruiting and open enrollment is the norm if you are able to leverage those tools AND have an enrollment edge you're going to have a leg-up on the competition.
The coach may well choose to coach at the bigger school. But, in the current era of unlimited player movement, it would be more about likely having more non-player resources at the larger school. The days of coaches roaming the hallways and looking for guys who could be players are over. Youth training and leagues are huge, and that's where the players are discovered 99% of the time.

Without looking, I'm going to estimate 23% of Mater Dei's athletics program participants have Santa Ana residences. For the football program, you might see a third of the roster which doesn't even reside in the same
county.

That is true in Tampa. The TBYFL (Tampa Bay Youth Football League) had some powerhouses in areas of Tampa where the high school was garbage. The Nuccio Jags ran the league forever and they are in the heart of the King High school zone. And King is one of the worst teams in the state. Because all those Nuccio Jags kids get scooped up by Armwood, Plant, TBT etc etc.
It's the same for other youth leagues. In Pop Warner, the Westchase Colts are the powers. They came over from TBYFL a few years ago and compete for Pop Warner national titles every year. And Westchase is some upscale neighborhood in the Sickles High zone. And Sickles is a JV team just like King.
Do you remember when Berkeley went over and beat the shit out of Newman Lousiana and Arch Manning? Berkeley had a kid in that game commited to Iowa State and had 5 touchdowns. He played for the Westchae Colts. And 2 of his teammates at Westchase were D1 recruits playing for Jesuit and Tampa Bay Tech.
It's it crucial in order for a team to be successful in some areas of the country to have their claws sunk in to the youth league talent

When I mention the importance of wealth in an area, I'm not talking about buying players (though some schools buy transportation resources to transport players from long distances and/or households where parents aren't able to do the transporting themselves). I'm talking about the school having better facilities, being able to pay coaches more etc.
Places like Baton Rouge are largely poor and the condition of the school's facilities and other resources reflects that.
Here are 10 of the largest high schools in California that have a football team, based on enrollment data, primarily within Los Angeles County:
Granada Hills Charter High School (Granada Hills) - 5,900+
Downey High School (Downey) - 4,000+
Long Beach Polytechnic High School (Long Beach) - 3,800+
Warren High School (Downey) - 3,600+
Millikan High School (Long Beach) -3,400+
Paramount High School (Paramount) - 3,400+
Wilson High School (Long Beach) - 3,300+
Quartz Hill High School (Quartz Hill) - 3,100+
Birmingham Community Charter High School (Lake Balboa) - $3,100+
El Camino Real Charter High School (Woodland Hills)
Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't appear to be a "who's who" of football powers.

Boca Raton Community High School (Boca Raton): Often ranks at the top for enrollment.
Palm Beach Central High School (Wellington): Consistently high enrollment.
Apopka High School (Apopka): Known for high population and strong football.
Dr. Phillips High School (Orlando): Large Central Florida school.

Wellington Community High School (Wellington): Large population in Palm Beach.
Timber Creek High School (Orlando): Large Orange County school.
Miami Northwestern Senior High School (Miami): Large, elite football program.
Vero Beach High School (Vero Beach): High enrollment 7A/8A school.
Hialeah Gardens High School (Hialeah Gardens): Large Miami-Dade

The TBYFL literally shut down operations because of repeated gun violence in the stands. When we would go to games the entire stadium would smell like weed. I remember going to a pop warner game and the referees were about to be attacked by parents in the stands, and the coaches had to stand in their way.
I remember a brawl between parents that was so big that the SWAT team had to be called in with local police. Cops jumping out in riot gear. Lol
Man, I remember a college kid jumped the fence and ran onto the field, wanting to attack the offensive line because they weren't blocking for his brother who is the quarterback . LMAO!
St. Frances Academy has an enrollment of just over 200. Not 2,000, but 200. I have to assume at least half of that is enrolled in the football program.

SFA is not a real high school football team. They are a school with a national sports academy attached to them. They dissolved their traditional high school football program years ago, in exchange for an "IMG" model. Traditional high schools playing teams like IMG and SFA reinforce this erosion of HSFB athletics, and are equivalent of a snake eating its own tail. Lol.

How did Baton Rouge Capitol High go 0-10?
Baton Rouge Istrouma is ranked around Fort Lauderdale and Santa Ana high school.
Pretty funny that the top two teams in the Baton Rouge Metro area are both private schools who get the pick of the litter from all the talent around Baton Rouge.
The third best team in the Baton Rouge Metro area is not even top 500 in the country!
That means there is a lot of garbage football being played in that section of the country
Los Angeles Cathedral would be the fourth best team in the Baton Rouge Metro area that has over 70 teams
That should give you an idea of how bad the football is in that area
Baton Rouge is the second biggest city in the entire state and they can't even produce four quality teams.

This pile of garbage will bash national powers for losing to other powers, but when you call out an OOS team beating a Lousiana team his first response is "so they lost to another Lousiana team"
But never mentions the team he is criticizing, losing to other in-state teams.
When someone said cathedral Catholic losing to point Loma because they were without their stud quarterback and a slew of playmakers, he just dismissed it as excuses, but then when you call out numerous games where Louisiana lost an OOS game he has a bullet point presentation of never-ending excuses.
He's just a huge hypocrite that is not meant to be taken seriously
When I said American Heritage Delray put a running clock on West Monroe He completely dismissed it as nothing because West Monroe lost to a Louisiana team by 11 points
So in his mind, traveling to West Monroe, the state's 6th best team and beating the living dog shit out of them is no big deal because they lost by 11 to another in state team.
Same with Zachary. Made the state semis the year they lost 53-0 to Deerfield Beach. But no biggie because they lost by 9 to another Louisiana team.
That's this crackheads logic. Remember this whenever he tries and shitting on another team
Capital (Baton Rouge) barely has 200 students.
The school was failing though and the state actually took over control of the school and held control for 15 years.
I believe Capital is officially a school on their own now as of last year.

I always look at my state schools and actually know something about almost every one of them.
I don't have to run to MaxPreps.
Don't blame me because Mater Dei is the only game in a city with 330,000 people, you know > Orange County!
Be nice, Redzone.
Quit f****** with these people
In 1999, John Curtis beat Capital (Baton Rouge)
16-0 In the 4A State Champ game. That was a solid Capital team the school was a lot bigger than.
That game was 0-0 at halftime.
The John Curtis depth just took control in the 4th quarter.
Capitol had some monsters on defense that year though.

You have to go back 27 years to find them being competitive.

Zachary strikes again
This is in Baton Rouge again. Why aren't they transferring into Woodlawn? 🤔
Zachary's about 10 miles from Baton Rouge, nice little suburb.
Plaquemine is also 9 or 10 miles on the other side of Baton Rouge, another nice little suburb.
Plaquemine is a pretty solid 4A football team most years.
Plaquemine scheduled West Monroe this year. That's going to be an interesting game.
Plaquemine's got a new coaching staff also and they ain't scared.

You said Capitol is garbage because they have 200 kids but Riverside has 169 and is a small power in the state. The point is you can't obsess over enrollment because there is garbage and there is powerhouses in each state at every level. So you can find teams with 3,000-5,000 in enrollment who suck at football, and you can find teams with 300-500 that are good. So what's your point in talking about teams like Santa Ana and Ft Lauderdale?
Quote from: Steeler01 on Apr 28, 2026, 07:42 AMSanta Ana isn't a private school.🤡
But, they have a larger enrollment than Mater Dei, which I'm told suggests they're likely better than Mater Dei :-[
Here's a fact.
The largest high school in Baton Rouge is Baton Rouge Magnet with an enrollment of over 1,700.
Baton Rouge Magnet used to be Baton Rouge High.
They went to the Magnet Program in 1976 and then completely dropped football, baseball and basketball.
It's now all about grades, track, gymnastics, tennis, golf....etc
Way back in the day Baton Rouge High was a football power in Louisiana winning 10 or 11 state championships, I'd have to check.
NFL great Jim Taylor went there and is in the NFL Hall of Fame.
Quote from: DreadnaughtAlum on Apr 27, 2026, 12:47 PMWhen I mention the importance of wealth in an area, I'm not talking about buying players (though some schools buy transportation resources to transport players from long distances and/or households where parents aren't able to do the transporting themselves). I'm talking about the school having better facilities, being able to pay coaches more etc.
Places like Baton Rouge are largely poor and the condition of the school's facilities and other resources reflects that.
Here are 10 of the largest high schools in California that have a football team, based on enrollment data, primarily within Los Angeles County:
Granada Hills Charter High School (Granada Hills) - 5,900+
Downey High School (Downey) - 4,000+
Long Beach Polytechnic High School (Long Beach) - 3,800+
Warren High School (Downey) - 3,600+
Millikan High School (Long Beach) -3,400+
Paramount High School (Paramount) - 3,400+
Wilson High School (Long Beach) - 3,300+
Quartz Hill High School (Quartz Hill) - 3,100+
Birmingham Community Charter High School (Lake Balboa) - $3,100+
El Camino Real Charter High School (Woodland Hills)
Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't appear to be a "who's who" of football powers.
Of the 15 public schools to finish in the end of season top 25 for California, only four (Mission Viejo, Central East, La Costa Canyon, Lincoln) had less than 2000 students. Your Centennials, Folsoms, Los Alamitos, and Pacificas were all just under the 3000 student mark, and Pittsburg is well over that mark.
My point on enrollment isn't that bigger is better; that would be a stupid point, especially considering the number of mega-enrollment schools that are resource-deprived institutions that are little more than a purgatory for teenagers transitioning to adulthood. Those schools are not set up for success no matter how many kids are in the school.
The schools I'm pointing at are those that have all the other resource boxes checked AND happen to have 2000+ (preferably 3000+) kids metriculating within their walls; these are your Duncanvilles, your North Shores, your Graysons, your Chandlers. The fact that Louisiana is devoid of a strong number of schools that match this profile makes it easy for me to discount their best squads as they are not consistently matching up with teams that can overwhelm you with waves of depth. If an entire state is largely devoid of those schools the quality of team is naturally going to fall short against areas where that's more of the norm.

That is true. It's why a team like Evangel can get the crap kicked out of them by bigger OOS teams every time they won state because the Louisiana teams are built smaller and softer.
Lousiana teams don't fare well when matched up with bigger teams. Unless the bigger team is so far inferior that the game tends to be close.
That's why Red Flag pumps up obscure no name teams because those are the teams LA can compete against. I remember when John Curtis finished as the consensus number 1 team in Louisiana and they won 27-23 at the last second in a miracle against the number 10 Mississippi team Oak Grove. It's because OG even being large was just inferior enough for the top LA team to scrape by

Their rosters are almost identical.
Longview leads the all time series 7-6. Ruston can even it up this year
If Ruston loses it won't because of school size. It will because Longview won the game. Pretty simple equation really.

In both 2023, and 2024, Poly would have been ranked 2nd in Lousiana based on the rankings.
So him trying to do a drive by on them for no reason shows how little he thinks of his own state

Every time California or Florida gets punked OOS which happens fairly often the same 2 Napoleon's dump on Louisiana for 3 or 4 days.......... they think it makes the boo boo go away and all is better.. 🤠🏈🤠
Eat it!

The difference is FL and CA usually lose to nationally ranked powerhouses, and the Lousiana teams lose to regional nobodies. Big difference.
Red Flag thinks it's the same thing when someone loses to Bishop Gorman as it is losing to Oak Grove,MS.
That's the brain dead shit you're dealing with

Woody> Long Beach Poly is competent! 🤠🏈🤠
Only on the World Wide Web.
Competent describes having the necessary ability, skills, knowledge, or qualifications to perform a task or role adequately and efficiently.
The 9th ranked Louisiana team loses by 53 points to a 4 loss Florida team and Red Flag says it's no big deal at all.
But when the 22nd ranked California team loses to the number 1 team in the country by 45 points, it's somehow an embarrassing loss.
The amount of interbreeding that had to happen for someone to come up with this logic is biblical
Back in the day Long Beach Poly used to scare people.
Now they don't even scare Pacifica.......🤠🏈🤠
2024: Pacifica 45 Long Beach Poly 41
Pacifica is competent! 😭🏈😭

I've responded to this 37,433 times in the last 6 or 7 years.
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Napoleon going to Napoleon though!

Long Beach Poly is competent!
Nothing else matters.
Florida'has had 10 state champions get punked OOS in the last 2 years.
If Florida gets punked again this year, guess what?
I'll have to respond to Zachary losing an OOS game 7 or 8 years ago another 6,000 times. 🤠🏈🤠
Don't forget though.
Long Beach Poly is competent;
Come to think of it.
I don't believe I've ever heard anyone use the word "competent" when describing a high school football team before on the internet.
That's great stuff; 🏈🤠🏈
What's funny is talking about Florida makes Lousiana look so bad. Because when let the panhandle punk your ass for 70 years going 61-31, on top of running clocks against state powerhouses West Monroe and Zachary and beating the crap out of state champ John Curtis
So you better hope FL looks good, because they have been beating the shit out of top Lousiana teams for decades to the point of embarrassment, so when Florida is garbage, then Lousiana is the sewers!!!

Deflection isn't a response.
Florida beat 31 state champions from 17 different states in the last 15 years. And when I asked red flag to give Louisiana's list of top wins, he takes 2 weeks to come up with a 3 loss Mississippi team and 3 loss TAPPS team.
LMAO!! This is not serious football.
No wonder the 93rd ranked Florida team Escambia went over to New Orleans and beat the pine tar off State top 10 Archbishop Bummel. Makes perfect sense!
Quote from: Steeler01 on May 01, 2026, 06:13 AMDeflection isn't a response.
I just like calling out the hypocrisy. Calling out Cali #22 Poly for some strange reason for losing a game against the #1 team in the country but downplaying the Louisiana #9 team losing 53-0 to a 4 loss FL team.
Just a clown who is only here to spam and troll
I just hate spineless punks who don't have any convictions or beliefs. Just contradictory statements, trolling and spamming, and just intentionally trying to piss people off with no substance.
This ass boil Red Flag will call out teams and states, but when you call out Lousiana teams for the same exact results or worse he's got a million excuses like it was sprinkling, or the coach had the sniffles. More excuses than a hooker in church.
It's embarrassing to see a grown man act like that

The "Poly has no heart" crap was freakin' egregious, especially when you realize Poly has sophomores leading the team in rushing and third in tackles. (https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/long-beach/long-beach-poly-jackrabbits/athletes/steven-hunter/?careerid=sj3ibrpto9766)
It's not Redzone's fault Florida's been punked 2 years in a row and had 13 of their Top 25 last year punked OOS.
"Hurricane OOS" fucked Florida up last year. 🏈🤠🏈
Gaybob813 can sure dish it out but that saggy trump bitch can't take it.
That's a weak ass loser!

Evangel just by themselves got punked 11 times by out of state teams when they were the Louisiana state champs!!
11 times by 1 team!!! The best team in Louisiana. And 8 of those 11 were running clocks!!!!!!

It's funny since ECA ran the state, but he'll tell us how tough the New Orleans teams were. ECA was getting trashed in those games, but that don't matter, the Catholic league was awesome according to him

Weak ass league. I remember a few years back Escambia finished 93rd in Florida. And they went to New Orleans twice in 2 weeks and beat the crap out of the 10th ranked team in Louisiana, and put a running clock on fellow New Orleans Catholic League member Archbishop Shaw.
This isn't Bishop Gorman, Mater Dei, IMG, St Frances Academy etc etc.
This is ESCAMBIA!!! LMAO!
Not serious football

He calls out teams for losing to those teams like BG, MD, IMG, SFA, but then turn around and stick up for Louisiana teams losing to Oak Grove and Escambia.
You can't make this stuff up
I really don't think Gaybob813 can take 3 years in row of Florida getting punked.
We'll see.
With coaches and players moving here and there who knows what's going to happen this year?
The On3 article on Florida high school football last year was devastating.

Exactly, which is why you can't take him serious when discussing Louisiana football

I don't take him serious about any type of football because he is either trolling or doesn't know the first clue about what he's talking about.
