Should have just stayed as Lake Area, didn't even realize that was the old Kennedy High school. Now all I can think about them is the Barbe/Kennedy brawl.

The old Kennedy HS got torn down and Lake Area isn't far from there Wasn't saying it was the same building, just saying they probably should have just kept the Lake Area name it was a nice new start. Using the old Kennedy name just reminds everyone of the brawl because that's the lasting memory of that school and what it was most remembered for.

I'd say their band and a few great basketball teams...

That video was playing around the clock for months on every news station when I was in high school, even made national news. If that had happened now days I couldn't even imagine how viral that video would have went.

Shut up Glory I'm not trying to go anywhere with this thread. I was simply stating that most casual fans that remember Kennedy (especially from outside Nola) remember them because of the brawl, so taking on the old name might not have been as smart as just simply continuing re-branding as Lake Area. I wish them the best, I hope they can build a successful athletic program and that's what they'll be known for.
