How about the best option QB LSU has ever had, Freddie Haynes. This guy back in the 60's would hold the ball to the last nanosecond before pitching it.
Re: Now I might be off a year here or there.... My folks lived in that part of town too during that time. Not all the Catholics went to Redemtorist Just the Catholics who could afford to pay the private school tuition. I don't remember the exact years but I am 100 % certain that he played for the Indians coached by the immortal "Big Fuzzy" Brown and led them to the state title He was the LSU QB in the early 60's which would mean that if he played HS ball in 1952 he would have been about 8 or 9 years old Add QB Billy Ezell to the list His wobbly passes somehow found their target when it counted the most. and Chinese Bandit Ruffin Rodrigue Sr. His son Ruffin Jr was a real good one too and Ruffin Jr is now the manager of Ruffino's Italian Restaurant, formerly named Di Nardo's
I checked with my sources...... my dad, specifically, and you are correct. Amedee did play at IHS, not RHS. Although my dad knew him, they did not play together. I stand corrected, and will keep my mouth silent on the subject. I will add, though, that my dad and his uncle worked in Bob Petit's dad's hardware store in the same period. It's amazing how "small" a town Baton Rouge was back then.
