We sat on their side and the fans were yelling and complaining about him running the same three plays all night lol. Boone made that week and the game super fun tho. He became a rock star within the St. James community lol. Wishing him well in his future endeavors.

Rest assured, Boone didn't resign from Avoyelles because of anything that happened in the St. James game lol. From my understanding, Lakeview just wasn't a great situation. Participation was even lower than what he had at Avoyelles. Seems like there's an administration there that does care, though. And the opportunity to coach 5A football as opposed to 2A ball was probably the biggest factor. There's a wide gulf from 5A resources compared to 2A. I assume Liberty Magnet will at least be competitive this year. As for Lakeview, they promoted a coach who was on staff last season, Lawrence Seawood. He's a great guy and long time assistant there.

I know Andy loves challenges, so the challenge of competing in that district with Liberty had to be very enticing, but I also know that Lakeview is not a football school and does not have a football culture. Andy worked some miracles at Avoyelles, but I don't think Lakeview was a very good fit for him.

Well, he'll probably have more players at Liberty than he did at Lakeview and Avoyelles combined. I wonder if he'll punt, kick extra points, and "normal" kickoffs at Liberty? I wish him all the best.

Willing to be he does punts kicks and extra points, because if nothing else Liberty has a soccer program, not a good one (they went 5-15 last year) but they have one, so they'll have some kids who he can recruit to try out for those spots, especially kicker and kickoff. Might do more of a combination sky kick and onside kick strategy
Guess we'll see when the scrimmages and jamborees happen what they'll do in that regard and what they'll do offensively (I have my suspicions but won't comment them for now)

It had been established the entire season that he was going to step down at the end of the 2022 season, St. James had absolutely nothing to do with that. It was kept quiet so as to not effect the players and their season. Was far from the first time he had been blown out, but for some reason St. James people have taken to thinking they made him quit which is hilarious and pathetic. The big reason for leaving Lakeview after one year was it was blatently clear they had no intentions on being competitive in any sport other than basketball. He was going to just retire completely after Lakeview but then applied for the Oakdale job as kind of a homecoming since he is from Allen Parish. He was a finalist but ended up not getting it and Liberty just happened to reach out to him and he accepted the position. Basile also reached out but he had already accepted the Liberty job by that point.

However, don’t get all soft, this is only fun and games, which Boone started lol. He’s a cool guy, it was joyous going back n forth with him.

But it looks like he’s doing all the same stuff at Liberty. Tonight in their scrimmage they scored on all seven possessions, converted five two pointers, 4 for 5 on fourth down. If they take care of business in pre-district and sneak a few in district, it will easily be the best season the program has had in 5A. A lot to be optimistic about if you’re a fan of “Boone Ball”.

The other three, yeah I doubt it, but the other two aren't where they were a few years back; hell, last year's Liberty played Woodlawn to a 13 point game and Scottlandville to a 6 point game as is.

Are they still running the DTDW and 4-3 that he ran before? DTDW but with a 4-2-5 defense? Different power/under center misdirection offense? If he doesn't want that shared publicly, I understand (and my messages are open)

Good for him and those kids. Boone made many of us fans of his. Personalities like his are good for high school football. Wishing him great success at Liberty Magnet.

As far as kickoffs, he doesn’t always onside kick anymore (but that also hasn’t been case for a long time). But it will be a cold day in a very warm place when he punts again. Not punting is as crucial to the identity of his teams as anything else. Convincing a group of high school aged kids to not be phased by going 4 and out and instead focus on wearing down other teams by converting on 4th is central to everything he’s done for the past decade plus. It’s a mind game. His best avoyelles teams had some of the most mentally tough high school players around because of this. Like the best, he’s able to get high school kids to buy into his insanity and kids love playing for him. Squaring off against a bunch of rabid kids with nothing to lose because they’ve been counted out anyways paired with this aggressive philosophy? It’s should be fun to watch the Patriots this fall.

However, don’t get all soft, this is only fun and games, which Boone started lol. He’s a cool guy, it was joyous going back n forth with him. That is a million dollar question. Big reasons for leaving Avoyelles to begin with were perenially low participation in the sport and lack of resources. He finished his final season with only 24 players and never had more than the low 30s in all the years he was there, even when they were in 3A. The bigger question is would a state championship have changed those problems and possibly coaxed him into staying longer. But he may have departed anyways, but it probably wouldn't have been to Lakeview because I would imagine a bigger program would have come calling after that. Maybe it ends up being him at Grant or Natchitoches Central or Jennings or Kinder instead of who they actually hired in our timeline.

I have zero notions of them being immediately successful. But really it's not like they'll be worse off because they are still last place in that district with anyone else coaching them too.

If he doesn't want that shared publicly, I understand (and my messages are open) Defensively, not sure what they’re running, but they are still in the double tight double wing! alright, fair enough. Just brought up the question of defense since the 5A/D1 passing attacks in a lot of cases are a step up from 2A/D3, and I think the aforementioned St James game was a preview into some of that, so I’d assume he’d operate in a lot more 5 DB looks maybe even as a base(especially since a 4-2-5 can look a lot like a 4-4 with faster, further split out “OLBs” at times)
