Josh Reed.....
There is not a whole lot to chose from in Rayne,La...

I witnessed two great playoff games in two consecutive years with Reed and Anthony Thomas at RB... Give the ball left, give the ball right!

We also had a great basketball player come out at that same time Byron Mouton. He stared at Tulame and then transfered to Maryland and won a national championship! I am not sure if he ever made it to the NBA or not...

Famous Alumni from your high school
Bill Conti: wrote the theme for Rocky
Steven Soderbergh: directed the Ocean's Eleven franchise
Will Wright: creater of The Sims
James Carville:
David Duke:
David Toms: pro golfer

Will Wright went to Episcopal, Steven Soderbergh went to U-High, James Carville went to Ascension High School, David Toms went to Arline in Bossier, and Shaq went to Cole HS in San Antonio...

The only famous alum from my school I think was Reggie Torbor, a Linebacker for the NY Giants a few years ago.
