I hate my life but at least this makes it bearlabe.

The 1976 2A State baseball Champions were St. John Vianney Prep from New Orleans, not Farmerville. They defeated River Oaks 3-2 in the championship game in Alexandria, La.. Check the New Orleans Times Picayune archives. I played in the game.

In 1978 the year Kinder defeated St Louis for the AA State Championship you have them with one loss. they went undefeated 14-0 that year.

Ray Great site. We have common interests, as I have never missed a super dome classic since 1982, even when we flooded in 2005 in Shreveport. I go to see hs games every weekend to see my former players ( I coach jr. High) all around the New Orleans area. I can help with info on teams down south if you need me. Thanks for your great work.

great site :) drorhod@yahoo.gr

Destrehan beat Farmerville for the 1A championship in 1964. Thanks for all of your work in perserving the great history in Louisiana High School athletics.

Enjoyed your site living in New Iberia, some times you dont get all the flavor of other areas and coverage of the state. Thanks for putting it all in one. I follow NISH(New Iberia),CHSNI (Catholic New Iberia) Westgate (New Iberia) most of the time and recently Loreauville and Breaux Bridge. I call in scores to local radio KANE 1240 am station. I listen also to Mike Bernard and Big Dave Thibodeaux on 105.1fm of St Martin Parish football and their Bigtyme sports show on Sundays at 10am on 1420 am. 1420 am also has Mr. Bitter(James Bitterman) thats has Saturday morning sports show. They cover Acadiana high football and Lsu and all acadiana. James was Removed from friday night broadcasts, I dont know the story but it was pure Politics, i guess. politics.

I was looking at the class 1A records and you have an error. The most rushing yards in a game you have is 389. Delcambre High School rushed for over 550 yards in a game in 2009 against North Central in a 68-20 win. Tailback Jorey Renard had over 300 yards by himself. I can get the film to verify and send it to you. I can also get the exact totals as I was the stat guy at the game. Just send me an email if your interested and I will respond quickly.

Good job!

I went to Oak Grove from to 1976-1981. I wanted to ask, was your dad a coach in that span. I really enjoyed his enthusiasm for football. Please send my best to him. I am bringing my sons to a game this year. Would like to meet you,if possible.

Really enjoyed going down memory lane by this website. I was a former player at Wossman High, signed with Hinds Community College, and then signed with University of Kentucky. I graduated in 1986 so indirectly I made an impact in some of this information:) Anyway, great photos and awesome song by Johnny Cash at the end.

Just a couple of corrections 3A Football Champions 2007 Parkview's record was 15-0 +++++++++++++++++++ Kenny Guillot has coached in 4 Classics not 2 Great site!

Bill Mikelson led Port Sulphur to chapionships in 79 and 81, so he should have 2 championship appearences. Not one.

Great information by the way - Mike Fontenot hit a double in the state semifinals to beat us (Woodlawn High School of Baton Rouge) They went on to win the 1996 4A State Champion baseball Salmen http://highschoolsports.nola.com/news/article/-2818887893813146723/salmen-baseball-coach-bill-morris-stepping-down-at-end-of-season/

Cool site. An addition to the baseball champions: St. Frederick won the 1A Championship in 1976...I don't remember who they beat. Always admired Oak Grove's baseball and football programs. Oak Grove is a fun place to play. Thanks for sharing.

Great site. Thanks for all the work in putting it together. In baseball there are several errors. Parkview Baptist has 5 state titles in a row. 2002 - 2006 and Denham Springs I believe has won 3 state titles not one.

A cousin told me about Vic and sent me a picture of our 7th grade class in Waterproof LA. I live in summerville,SC. John McKissick is the coach. He is the all time winningest coach in high school. Of course he is 83 years old. that being said . I'm proud of Vic and what he has accomplished at Oak Grove. If you are interested in the picture, Let me know and I will try my best to send it to you .

The coaches of the Track State Champions were Head CoachKenny Milligan and Brooke Sims Duff

I WAS LOOKING UP NAMES FROM OUR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM TO PUT ON A 25 YEAR REUNION NEXT YEAR AND MY EYE CAUGHT WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT WITNESSING WOSSMAN BEAT THE MIGHTY JOHN CURTIS. I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING. IT S ALMOST LIKE THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN WAY... STILL FEELS LIKE A DREAM. I WAS THE QUARTERBACK IN THAT GAME FOR WOSSMAN. NICE SITE... ENJOYED IT. THANX FOR REMEMBERING !

Thank you for your outstanding site-I have spent hours studying the basketball state champions and runner-ups.. If I may i would like to correct a final score in 1964 Newman-St.Amant State Championship game--It is listed as Newman 68--St.Amant 58..The correct score is Newman 65--St.Amant 58--I played in that game for St.Amant --score by Quarters-Newman 13-19-10-23---65 St.Amant 17-7-11-23---58--I have box-scores and articles from BR Advocate,Shreveport Times and New Orleans Picayune to confirm score---Thanks James Marchand--St.Amant,La.

Great site! My wife and I went on a road trip and ended up in Oak Grove. Great town! We got a warm feeling of being in Oak Grove. We both graduated from Hahnville in 96. I played on the 92, and 94 championship team. As well as the 95 state runner- up team. We have never experienced small town football such as you guys have here. We're hoping to return one day and catching a home game. Anyway, thank you for putting this site together, it really brings your town, school, and football team out in the open where it should be.

Awesome website...thank you for all of your hard work..memories are priceless..

Coach Butla...If I remember right bastrop won state 3 years in a row. '05,'06, & '07....on the back to back champion list it only says: Bastrop 06 & 07

Ray, this is a great sight.

Hey Ray, love the site. I am working on the history of Junction City Football. I believe the Dragons and Oak Grove may have played back in the 1920s-40s. Do you have any info on those years, that you may not have put on the site yet? Let me know. Again, love the site. Wayne Pumphrey

Ray, great job! Go Tigers!!

Great place for information on LA State Champions and runner ups. I was looking for runner up info and was able to find it here. Great site. Thanks

Great Site no doubt you would do it and do it well!!! Thanks, my boys are going to love it especially Slade !!!

cool

hey great site to og athtletics im in junior high #12 make proud to be a fighting tiger p.s. another father and son combination you left off vincent cookie holt class of 81 and Eric.T Newman class of 02

I am doing research on LA girls's basketball - specifically around 1951. Where would I find a list of teams and team captains. Thanks so much for your help. PS now in Texas but went to West Monroe HS

It is great to see someone who has a passion for lhsaa history. You cannot find anything historical about Louisiana High School sports on the web. The official LHSAA website is a disappointment. Keep up the good work, however I would personally like to see All-State team listings for football and basketball. It may be hard to find this info. It seems that Louisiana is so far behind other states with this type of historical information.

1976 4A baseball champs was belaire beat jesuit N.O. 4-0....

ray i played for coach d first year and played under your dad. i hold the school record for ints in a season.great site

some things just dont get old, and tiger football is the best memories.. keep up the good job.

The correct score for the state championship game at St. James. 1979 St. James 14, Wossman 8 (OT) I was the cameraman for Wossman back then and it was a great game. The records has it 33-8.

Wow---lots of history here..good site....what ever happened to Kenny Hill? Lots of info there about his career...but did he get married? children?

I'm glad i found this site, and added to my favorites. Though the information is a little off in 1982 an All State Linebacker was left off check #33 Steve Castille Opelousas Catholic High School.

Oak Grove Tigers,..should do wll this year. I want to see more teams no matter what classification in our area start making runs down south in december...do you think they will get it done? They sure looked better than before in the jamboree...

you might want to check your 5a win streaks because it is wrong,..destrehan holds the current streak true,..but all in all West Monroe has the longest wins streak in 5a running in 97'after the Natch.Central loss they won 37 straight which is longest win streak in 5A history. NIce web page,..I think its great.,lots of info

Ray, I have a freshman football studyhall this year. 21 Freshman boys! I pulled this site up for them one day, and they loved it. It brought so much pride to them, and they loved seeing their dads, brothers, and uncles on here. Maybe some of them will make it on the site soon. Thanks, Brooke Duff (Freshman FB studyhall at OG) P.S. You actually coached one of these guys at West Ridge.

swGreat site ray, now i have something to show my son who is now playing for oak grove. Hope he will be better than his old man. lol Now he can make his own memory at tiger field. Hope to see you at the games.

Checking your site out again. Still like it a lot.

Decided to take another tour of the site and loved it again. Keep up the good work.

Love the site! You've done a great job. You've been in my faves for awhile, but just now signed the guestbook. Go Tigers!

Check out the Kinder YellowJackets in 1978 season, 15-0. Took out J.C. in the semis and St. Louis in the championship, led by USL signee Trion Smith. Coached by Johnny Buck.

This is a well developed site. It is obvious that you are passionate about football and OG. You've done a great job!

I was born and raised in oak grove,la. most of my family still lives there. my cousin is kevin brown and I also had a cousin that played with jason martin putt turner, any ways just glad to see something like this on the computer keep up the great work. also I played for famerville high school in 1998 and 1999 was coached by jason martin in 1999.

Ray, who would have thought almost 20 years later you would have something like this. Great job with this site. Keep it up man.

Ray, Great site. This makes me homesick. I'm glad you have such great pride in OG as your Family did. Tell them all hello from Texas from me and maybe we'll all ride horses again someday. There will never be another Roxie & Cricket.

Great site, I was on Coach D's first team. I have some great stories, along with a VHS tape of our game against Mangum, Haynesville, and Port Sulpher. Contact me if you are interested. Go Tigers!!! #66 out

Ray - Great site! Takes a ton of work to get it looking as good as you have it. Keep it up. Very enjoyable. Thanks - John Bowers Class of 1987

Ray, this is a great site. And thanks for featuring Colt on the homepage. He has been waterboy since the 2nd grade and this year was his last. He starts playing Jr. High football next school year. So we have a lot to look forward to.

Ray, There is nothing like Tiger football on Friday nights! It has been too long since I have watched the Tigers play on Friday night. Your website has brought me as close as I ever may get again. Thanks Ray!

Ray, we thank you for all the time and effort you have devoted to perserving OG athletic history. You have done a remarkable job. We are proud to be OGHS alumni.
