Which defunct high school has the best sports history?

I don't know about the best, but Atlanta High School had a really good boys basketball program for a long time. They were dominating in the 1990's from what I remember.

Besides his iconic roles in Top Gun, Tombstone and The Doors, I really enjoyed his acting in Wonderland and Stateside. Both early 2000's films.

In one month we went from ULM-ULL being a potential huge game to it meaning nothing

What are you talking about? If ULM doesn't beat Arkansas St. next week, then the game against ULL will be their last chance to secure bowl eligibility. That would be the 2nd time ULM has reached a bowl since moving to Div.1 or FBS. Also, ULL could be playing for a conference championship, right? I'm not sure if they have that secured yet or not. Either way the ULM-ULL game will be a huge one imo.

Disgusting behavior. It makes sense why some lighter skinned black people become militant about being black.

Should have been a warning when the police office saw that this cop was working at his 6th police station in so many years. He resigned from a few offices before and was just relicated everytime.

I read somewhere he had two previous DUI's also. How in the hell this guy was allowed to be a Deputy needs to be investigated.

Yes. With the nickname "Sugar Bear" it was bound to happen.

I kind of hope they whip our asses so our administration can see what a real basketball coach can do even with a program that won less than 35% of its games the year before.

May not have to hope much. I'm unfortunately expecting it.

Marlin won the Sunbelt and went to the NCAA tourney last year. I don't understand the hate he gets from Cajun fans. The team has a good chance to win the Sunbelt again this year too.
