Damn, that's too bad man. Still a great season for the Rebs though. 

Disappointing if you are a Rebel fan, finals in football, semi-finals in basketball and finals in baseball with a goose egg in Championships... it'll be a long summer  :o

Honest question. 

How far is West Monroe from New Orleans.... 

I may be in New Orleans in August.... 

May! Dont hold me to it. 

If its not over 2 hours I'll go to a Rebels game. 

You're out of luck then....West Monroe is in the Northeast corner of Louisiana...

4-6 hour drive at least...

(Sidenote: June 2nd can't get here fast enough...(Tekken 7))

Already got my Tekken 7 list ready: 

Nina-Main since Tekken 2

Josie

Shaheen 

Jin 

Asuka 

Lee

^ pretty much sums up my list for any Tekken game. 

I may pick Leo back up after Tekken tag 2's polishing of her.

West Monroe is a good 4 hours from New Orleans...  and a world apart  ^_^

Would love to host you for a game, although we don't open the season until 9/01.  There will be Jamboree games last weekend in August (pre-season, don't count) at Malone Stadium at the University of Louisiana Monroe, we will Jam with Neville.  The 9/01 game will be our 1st game in the new stadium, 1st game on the new turf, and 1st ever meeting between us and John Ehret High from Marrero (Westbank New Orleans).  The game will be matching the last 2 Louisiana 5A runner up teams (2015 & 2016).  Still trying to get Devil Dog over for a game as well, you would be welcome anytime and think you'd enjoy it for sure, USA Today called Rebel Stadium one of the Top 10 places to watch a high school football game!

Why it’s worth watching: College atmosphere with some of the best tailgating food anywhere, specializing in red beans and rice and jambalaya. Home games are sold out with the crowd ringing cowbells throughout the night. A national award-winning 230-member band along with a cheerleader and pep squad of about 100 keeps the air reverberating with spirit. When the Rebels score, 50 t-shirts are catapulted into the crowd. The football team ain’t too bad, either, ranked No. 2 in this week’s USA TODAY poll.

Tradition: Led by a police escort before each home game, a band of students jump into their vehicles at the stadium and parade five miles in a loop around town and return to roaring cheers.

Historical fodder: Perhaps the most successful high school program of the past 10 years ... Winners of Louisiana state 5A championships in 1993, ’96, ’97’, ’98, and 2000 with national championships in 1998 and 2000 ... Under coach Don Shows, the Rebels are 124-30 with six state championships. Shows, who arrived in 1989, is 190-55 ... Plays in an area that has provided 7 other state champions since 1982. .. sent 15 players to NCAA Division I colleges in last three years ... School used to hold back players in a high school version of "red-shirting” until the state prohibited ... has 4,000 season-ticket holders ... 500 plastic mini footballs thrown into the crowd at halftime ... Rebel Club feeds the team each Thursday night ... Has 16 variations of uniform design, a weekly juxtaposition that incites widespread curiosity and anticipation from the faithful ... Rebel gift shop has dozens of collectibles, memorabilia and paraphernalia, including high-end clothing and summer dresses ... Draws about 7,000 for road games ... Band has 35 consecutive years of first division ratings at the District Marching and Concert Festival.

Notable: Team has weekly review and preview television show. Demand for tickets so high that three games were moved to Shreveport’s Independence Stadium, which seats 50,832, this year.

Name-dropping: Cleveland Indians pitcher Chuck Finley; astronaut James Halsell; LSU All-America and Heisman Trophy runner-up Jerry Stovall, also former LSU coach; former Indianapolis Colts DE Shawn King.
