Pretty cool but not well-publicized....one of the ways the NFL is promoting the 50th Super Bowl is to present a gold football to every high school that has ever produced a Super Bowl player or head coach.

Istrouma was closed a couple of years ago but I saw that it was going to reopen as some kind of charter school or something like that. At the time Cannon and Winston played Capitol High was an all black school. There are probably quite a few schools attended by players who were in early Superbowls that have closed.
I saw Doug Williams listed as having played for Northeast HS. I didn't think he had and I found out he went to Cheneyville High School.
Right, Cheneyville is now Northeast. There were a couple of others like that, where the school has had a name change since a certain player was there, and they listed it by the current school name. Landry-Walker is another.
There are 2 Cheneyvilles. The other one is spelled Chaneyville. Doug Williams Cheneyville is in East Baton Rouge Parish. Not quite sure where the other one is but it could be near Bunkie
