It’s only going to get better for them. They moved into a brand new building a few years ago, and have a nice turf field backing up to the levee in Algiers. I bike by it all the time, and it’s refreshing to see a bunch of kids out there at 8am on a Saturday running heaters or doing 7 on 7. Always activity on that field.

Absolutely. Keeping them out of trouble is the hardest part. The Hulu documentary on Karr was really good.

This sounds exactly like the "factory" Kiffin had been told about/alluded to and we should have a direct pipeline to it

I understand they go out and get the kids they want, but the impressive thing to me is the standards they set academically as well as on the field/court.

You should read the book " Across the River".
It's amazing what Coach Brown does for that community.

Karr was a junior high school until 1990 before it became a high school.
Went there for Jr. High in the 80's. We had quite a football team and band even then. Al Ott (Jimmy's dad) was coach - member of '58 championship team. On game days any students who wanted to go got out early and loaded up on busses to Pan American or Behrman stadium, chanting fight songs all the way.

It’s also a pretty solid school academically.

They got me rooting for Curtis to beat them…

West Monroe & Neville do that also. I’m sure quite a few more schools do it also.

It’s the same damn thing, but different eras
They should play a national schedule and stop beating up all the local, normal high schools

Any school you consistently see deep in the playoffs is doing this. They identify kids in 4th or 5th grade and get them in their system for several years before they get to high school.

You have to have a good alumni program that are comprised of business owners who are able to hire their parents for a good wage

How good is their QB?
Had offers at Nebraska and others as a DB, but wants to play QB. His father told me that he had offers from Washington St and Liberty to play QB, but that was a month ago.

No post Katrina they removed the Junior high portion of the school, Karr now starts in 9th grade.

I should have been more concise. They start identifying talent they want at other schools in Jr High.
Then the magic gets worked and the kids they want show up at Karr for 9th grade.
