I work with a Desoto parent.
They knew the Eagles would be a force to be reckoned with after they beat Duncanville. No one saw that coming early in the season.

Desoto finished 2nd in the country. Mater Dei won the mythical national championship.

Gorman beat Mater Dei 28-0 in week 8, but Mater Dei got em in the semis 35-7 MaxPreps had Mater Dei #1, DeSoto 2, and Gorman 3. it’s crazy the types of schedules those teams play. I looked at Mater Dei’s yesterday. They finished with a team rating of 98.2 (DeSoto was 84.2 and Gorman 84…so theoretically MD was 2 TDs better than the 2nd best team). The LOWEST rated team Mater Dei played had a 53.0. For reference, Ruston was 2nd in Louisiana with a rating of 53.5 😳

Gorman did play central Miami and Zac Wilson little bro in Utah two close wins. Don't believe they would have best Mater Dei or Desoto head up judging off those two scores

Replace Gorman with St. John Boscoe in what I said. Bishop Gorman was 4th in the national ratings. Thanks for catching that.

Don't mess with the boot. I have to respectfully disagree. These teams are just stupid talented, and while some of the Louisiana teams could be competitive at the skill positions, these top national teams are just unreal in the trenches. Either last year or the one before (I can’t remember yesterday all that well so I’m not sure which) I looked at the rosters and read some articles about Mater Dei and St. John Boscoe. One of them had 31 kids with P5 offers. Yes, 9 dudes that didn’t start held P5 offers. And the other wasn’t far behind. It’s just insane the collection of talent on these teams. And just this week I was looking at the DeSoto roster after watching them play. The size (and athleticism) of their guys on both lines of scrimmage was just crazy for a high school team. None of the teams in Louisiana had anything close

After watching every game in the dome then watching Desoto I will say Desoto would absolutely destroy ANY team from Louisiana. It wouldn’t even be close.

But with that said how many times has a top team in the country come in to the boot and get booted out with a L.

But with that said how many times has a top team in the country come in to the boot and get booted out with a L. No doubt…but having actually been there and seeing those games from the sideline view. Many teams would get boat raced. What I saw up close at the top level games were wildly different than what we have. The sheer size of the kids, it’s imposing, the QB play is better, the trench play is better. Athletically, we can hold up with top guys. The problem comes with elite depth. Humble Summer Creek is really good, and had north shore galena park on the ropes in the regular season. They absolutely didn’t even look like they belonged. It looked like a varsity vs a JV team.

I can say that there is a school in Texas that wants to do a home and home with a Louisiana school. I am not sure if it’ll work but I know the school in Texas has the lines of communication open.

Like a marquee matchup? Are they in the western part of the state? Maybe Ruston playing someone like Longview?

I told my buddy I was with, a Texas Guy, went to Highland Springs, I believe their coach is the winningest in Texas football history or close to it. Cedric Benson(RIP) was inducted into the TX HS football hall of fame and we got to talking about him, he wasn’t aware west Monroe beat the midland Lee teams with benson. He was completely shocked

He was completely shocked After Midland’s first series, it was all West Monroe. I remember that game. Benson had about an 80 run for a score, and West Monroe locked him down after that.

Parkway (to my knowledge) could be undefeated against TX teams. Went 4-0 from 13’-16’ against Marshall (2x) Gladewater and Lufkin
