My Students

Our youth have the desire and determination to put in the work to better themselves physically and in doing so to revive the lost history of the well-known football team which our community was proud to be a part of.

Our students are very excited and dedicated to being a part of something bigger than themselves as individuals in our community.

These young men are looking forward with anticipation to regain the community spirit of the past football program which was lost back in the late 90's/early 2000.

These young men possess some great athletic abilities that shouldn't go overlooked due to the poverty of Catahoula Parish School Board system. Our community love these young men who are striving to do their part in bettering themselves daily on and off the field in character and integrity. Now we are seeking to help them help themselves as they focus on their task at hand, grades and sports as a avenue to peruse a better future.

My Project

We still need much more equipment since this is the 2nd year getting back our hometown football program that has brought our community back together again over one common interest as it once was. However, we have sought donations from our local community bank for a new score board last year. We are still in need of five up to date football helmets and five footballs.

We are currently using out dated equipment from the 70's & 80's.

We can not expect to be at our physical best if we are behind times in the new advancements of football equipment.
