RedZone Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 We play one there this year vs Teurlings Catholic (Lafayette). Rummel played Jesuit at Yulman last year. Last year was the first year Yulman Stadium hosted high school games and it went pretty well. Better than well actually. Anyways, John Curtis has Shaw, Brother Martin, Jesuit and St Aug at Yulman The Patriots will play home games at Yulman Stadium against Archbishop Shaw and Brother Martin. John Curtis will also be the designated road team in games against Jesuit and St Aug. Archbishop Rummel will play Teurlings Catholic and De la Salle will play a home game against a yet unnamed opponent as part of the six game package. https://wgno.com/2018/04/27/six-pack-tulane-expands-prep-football-schedule-at-yulman-stadium/ Really a nice high school venue....

HawgGoneIt Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Pretty cool. I'm sure the kids love getting a chance to play at a great venue. As a fan I love it when our teams play at big stadiums also. I love checking out the stadiums and surrounding areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I guess since it is closer to home there will be plenty of fans. I know when we played JC at the Independence Bowl in Shreveport there weren't a lot of fans in the stands. That has to be a little hard on the boys. The other side of that is they can pay attention to who is at the game. A Grayson player came up to me at a local event earlier this year and asked me if I went to Grayson ball games. When I said yes, he said he saw me in the stands at Shreveport. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 It's not an attendance thing > 99.7%? of the high schools in NOLA do NOT have their own football stadiums. So, Tulane stepping up is pretty cool. We have about 6 stadiums now being utilized for high school football in the City and a couple on the Westbank of NOLA... BOB never draws mammoth crowds.

Anyway, glad to hear there will be lots of fans. The players will be glad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis is tiny (415 enrollment, high school) and it's a 5 hour trip to Shreveport. Curtis would be a 1A school in GA most likely. Photo from Curtis vs Bergen Catholic in NOLA. Curtis sideline may have had 2500 all total. Bergen Catholic 25 on their side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westbankeagle Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 HS football doesn't draw the same crowds it used to in NOLA. Selling out EJ or WJ wasn't out of the question. Now it's spacious in the stands. I've noticed that on a smaller level with other sports as well. Tulane doing this is because A) it makes them money and B) they want to get every kid from NOLA who doesn't commit to an SEC school to come to them, and it has started to work. The recent push for better talent has shown. I think Tulane had 2 guys drafted last week. But in terms of competition, I don't see much coming from those Curtis games. This might be the worst year for the Catholic league that I can remember. Curtis will run away with it and Aug will probably be the next best team.

Only game that would draw anything remotely close in Shreveport these days would be an unbeaten Evangel and Byrd match... The Bossier City folks don't really like traveling to Independence Stadium...Parkway gets great support for a Bossier Parish school... The rest...pfft...

Enough years. But all things, teams will ebb and flow on top. This year you will see start to move just up a bit and we will start to see Rummel move down as well.

westbankeagle Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Its fine, it'll just be that much more funny in a few years when we beat Rummel again. I mean heaven forbid they lose to lowly Shaw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westbankeagle Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Not to mention those title runs were fueled by West bank kids. Its just a matter of time until going back to Shaw becomes fashionable. Tgen lets watch Rummel try to float with just Metairie talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehret and Landry Walker and Karr go downhill... yes. Landry Walker graduated everyone and we're ahead of them for 2018 calpreps. Tucker will break through and win a playoff game soon, when we host one, and we'll be well over 2,000 students soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty4024 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Yall "fussing" about the Catholic League... Hell I'm just trying to figure out who is going to put up a fight in the Northern half of LA atm... Even West Monroe and Neville got issues they gotta fix... Oh and 1-5A is going to be a crapshoot this season (Evangel wins it by default based on talent...) This might be the year of the Baton Rouge area...

Im not gonna pretend like im some Louisiana genius because im not. But JC,Zachary,West Monroe and U-Lab need to play each other. Like have an event in LSU stadium or the superdome.
