He’s a stat machine but not a HOGer. Great career.

Not an SEC RB, but would be a good mid major/FCS RB. He will be on LSU campus playing baseball.

Did Iowa lose a lot of starters after their championship or is Barbe this good?
I tried to warn you guys, but seeing is believing. Barbe ended last year strong, got most everybody back plus added some weapons, I don't see anybody challenging them in non-select 5A until the semi-final round. Don't get me wrong, they would struggle in select 5A, I am talking only non-select. I think STM will be a handful for them when they play later in the season, and their last game is against Southside, who I think will challenge them. I think they beat Acadiana this year. The rest of their schedule is very weak.

Explain why Barbe got 0 votes in the LSWA poll and 0 in the Sportsline poll
Is anyone else ranked that lost 5 or more games each of the last few seasons?
My point EXACTLY. Polls are mostly based off what teams did last year. Yes, Barbe went 5 and 5, but it was a bunch of juniors finding their way and they peaked at the end of the year. They are seniors now and you will soon find out what I have been saying. The offense added weapons to an already legit squad, and the defense won't win games on their own but will be much better this year. Their play will do the talking and they will be one of the few teams still standing come late November.

Let’s define a “deep” playoff run… you see them opposing Ruston in the Dome? Or another quarterfinal
Absolutely. as a fan I am hoping they meet in the finals and not sooner. Ruston is one of the few I think could challenge them in non-select. Neville ended Barbe's season last year, held them to negative rushing yards, so I think the Barbe fans were glad to see Neville drop down to 4A. They are another non-select team that has proven they can shut down that O.

3A #5 Iowa at Barbe
Should be a fun one to watch.
Iowa is # 5 in 3A. Barbe is 5A. Big difference usually.
Is this a down year for Barbe? Typically, this would be an easy win at ho
Not a down year at all. Very senior heavy team primed for a run. I will probably be in the minority here, but this is Barbe's year to make a deep playoff run in non-select this year. Offense won't be stopped, defense much improved and will allow offense to outscore opponents. To be clear, Barbe would struggle in select, but I see VERY few strong 5A teams in non-select that can outscore them.
Iowa has been the elite program in SWLA for awhile now, hats off to Coach Johns and staff. But they will run into a buzzsaw Friday night, I don't see them being able to win a shoot out with Barbe.

Guys like JD let the success get to their head, and forget that it is a two way street. As much as he helped the LSU brand, LSU helped resurrect his somewhat average career coming from Arizona St.

No
They ALL are going to struggle immensely trying to stop the Barbe offense. You heard it here first. Gonna be ugly.

w we’re talking. Acadiana, Barbe, Southside, STM. Acadiana finally has some competition, instead of being the de facto champs every year. I think they are 9 out 10 champions since 2016. And now STM can’t just cake walk into a state championship. Had to go beat up on the little guys to claim their bogus 5 titles.

re: LLWS where are they now?
Posted by TigerAlum93 on 8/10/26 at 3:02 pm to abovepar
I remember that 2008 LLWS team from Lake Charles. They were pretty good at 12, pretty good at 18, one of them went on to be a starter in the NFL, several went on to play at a very high level in D1 baseball.

It’s not 2001 beating WM isn’t a accomplishment
For sure beating WM now is not the same as beating the Don Shows era WM, no argument there. But going on the road and running the ball at will on them was still a respectable accomplishment. They are still a playoff caliber 5A team and beating them at their house added some credibility.. Of course Neville humbled Barbe the very next week. Just saying Barbe's offense will give many fits. We will see.

Of course. They could be much better than last season, but who outside of Barbe people will know that?

They will easily be a top 10 team in public 5A.
That could be so, but that is not the same as top 10 overall.
Agree. Barbe would struggle in the private classification, as would most of the publics. Very watered down championships now with the split and mixing 4A teams into the 5A bracket.
Iowa has been the best overall program in SWLA for some time, Coach Johns has done an outstanding job there, but they will be over-matched by Barbe this year. I don't see Barbe sustaining this success after this year, I just think this is the year they will be hard to slow down on offense with their returning seniors. Few schools can boast a senior QB with 3 years varsity experience, that is huge for playoff runs. Strong running game AND passing game, pick your poison. Defense started VERY slow last year but improved as the year went on, will be good enough this year for Barbe to outscore everybody.

They may not be 1-0, Iowa is always good. Very easily could be 4-3 (or worse) after the first 7 games.
Let's revisit your 4-3 comment after week 7. I am telling you WORST case 8-2. Southside and STM will present challenges, Acadiana not sure this year. You will see. Barbe's offense is all back, even better than last year, will put 45-50 on everybody with ease, defense much improved. They will easily be a top 10 team in public 5A.

Its a joke Barbe is not listed in the top 25. Should be in the top 10. Dominated West Monroe at West Monroe last season, got most everybody back. We will see after they go 10-0 in the reg season and make a deep playoff run.

Neville had two D1 safety’s that set the edge and held him to negative yards rushing. His other games besides that, he was the best athlete on the field. Not sure he is an SEC RB but no doubt he can play D1 football.

Great year for both teams for sure.
I think Dutchtown did SH a huge favor beating Barbe. Barbe won all 3 matchups this year with SH, and while I think the SH roster is just as talented as Barbe's, I think SH beating Barbe is more mental for them. I think they would have had a hard time beating Barbe in a best of 3 for that reason, but that is why they play the games. SH took care of business when Barbe could not.

Just as SWLA is strong in baseball, it’s equally as weak in Football. Weakest part of the state. The better athletes play baseball.

i dont like it and I think you took my reply as i approve of it, i dont, but I also understand that a coach prolly doesnt want to lose his best player and would be more willing to work around it
I did take it that way somewhat, thank you for your response/clarification.
My comments come as more of a concern for the culture/society we have created than winning any travel ball games or 7 on 7's, to me its SO much bigger than that and goes against what many successful leaders agree are the pillars to success in life. I also hate watching youth/HS sports reduced to this, as one poster said, it was once the only "pure" thing left, now even that is tainted with all of this madness.
