Archbishop Hannan Surprising North Shore Football

Hannan

September 2, 2010 - Louisiana’s North Shore is loaded with talent, from Mandeville to Franklinton to Slidell.  Football is as competitive there as any region in Louisiana, and this year is no exception.  But even with all the big-name size, speed, and talent the North Shore boasts, there’s still room for sleepers to begin asserting themselves, as illustrated by the Archbishop Hannan Hawks.  Hannan, a 1A school in Covington recently relocated to the North Shore from Merraux, has already shown flashes of talent in victorious scrimmages against False River and Ascension Episcopal.

The boys from Hannan are used to the less-than-stellar depictions the local media often gives them, usually to the tune of “too small and too young to contend.”  Upon entering the Hawks’ locker room, players and coaches are immediately drawn to the team’s media board, which holds every piece of obtainable negative press from local newspapers.  For the Hawks, a team that thrives on being underestimated, the board is the biggest source of motivation.

September 1, 2010 - Every year in Louisiana there are great teams in high school football, either because they have great coaches, great defense, a great QB and leader, a powerful running game or all of these.

In my 20 years of following and going to high games I’ve learned that in 5A, 4A, and 3A classifications in Louisiana, these teams have to have a lot of everything to get to the big dance in the Superdome in December to play for all the marbles.  In 1A and 2A, I’ve learned who can have coaching, a strong defense or great QB or just a few great leaders on both sides of the ball to get you there.

Well ladies and gentleman this year I find 2A to be the toughest I’ve ever seen it to get to the Dome, and I find it will be the toughest out of all of  the classifications in Louisiana. It will take more than coaching and a handful of great players to get there in 2010.

August 30, 2010 - Growing up I loved watching QB Roch Hontas play for Tulane in the 1970’s.  He was a leader and had LSU’s number in the Win and loss department.  In the 80’s and 90’s it was fun watching Florida native  Shaun King  play QB for Tulane now turned NFL ESPN Sportscaster.  Terrance Jones from Lutcher was another great who now works for Tulane, as well as Ruston Rifle arm QB Patrick Ramsey, who currently plays for the New Orleans Saints. The last QB to play at Tulane with a strong arm that was very athletic was J.P. Losman, a California native.
