Lights Out in Blackham

while i am here i do have a request. i am in need of a location we can use for the ncaa hearings, something with a court room/city hall vibe. they weren't held in court houses, but that visual will convey the most. anyone have any connections? ill keep this open and refresh from time to time

What is the estimated time until release?

Andrew Toney era memorable games include all games against McNeese and Lamar in his junior and senior years. Senior year victory against Lamar was especially sweet since we were on a losing streak due to Toney being injured. Lamar was his first game back and the team righted the ship to earn an NIT bid. Victory over UAB in first round of NIT on a Dion Rainey corner buzzer beater is one of the great victories in Cajun basketball history. There was also a victory over Creighton in Andrew's junior year. Finally, a 46 point outburst against Auburn at Blackham in his senior year was memorable.

Ask any of the surrounding parishes to use their school board meeting area. You have a panel type feel and it is not quite a courthouse. Try St. Landy or St. Martin.

The old federal building on Jefferson Street (702?) might have some rooms that fit. Lack of furniture might nix it, but you never know.

yeah, thats tops on my list. i have called the people at lei at least 2 dozen times over the last year to show me the location but still nothing. if only that was the sole service they provided...

You are saying the old federal building on Jefferson is your list topper? I can work some people if you like.

I might be able to help. I'll make a call.

Another option is the old parish govt building on Lafayette
