LCA forward Galen Alexander ruled eligible

[CajunT]

MAT. considering Eric played for the Cajuns, I really don't think he was serious about that comment. I think it was after the frustration of Byron leaving his starters in for the ENTIRE game to exact revenge on Mouton for bringing up Alexander's eligibility. Was VERY disappointed that Byron would do that. jmo

Bingo! Mouton knew exactly why he did it.

Ok, thanks for clarity on it.

Byron is a nice guy and all, but he's done many questionable things in the way of competive decorum. Not to mention, as was mentioned before, he's directly connected to all the under handed, shady crap going on at LCA. I've lost a lot of respect for him over the years.

I don't agree with that at all Matt. Most people from outside of LCA have a problem with the Administrator (Pastor) and his actions, but Byron Starks has not changed in my book and no one has yet to produce any evidence he has done anything illegal. Again, if someone can produce any evidence that contradicts my statement please feel free to give it to the media and LHSAA. I've heard so much of this stuff over the years about STM, Teurlings and even Episcopal now.

The pastor and his little minion are without question what's wrong with that place, but all you have to do is look at the behavior of the kids he's brought in and the circumstances surrounding them. 10 years ago, students were being suspended from school for attending "secular" concerts, being sent home for using words like "sucks" or "crap". Now that the money is rolling in, I've personally been in the building to see LCA players directing extremely foul language at opposing players. Not to mention the gestures and overall lack of class for a "Christian" school.

Does that mean Byron is directly to blame? I guess you could say no, but in my view, it at least makes him somewhat culpable.

As Barisax said, disappointed.

Did Mouton and Starks play together?

Sorry, Too lazy to google it & too young to remember.

Eric was a senior when Byron was a sophomore. That was the team that beat Oklahoma in the NCAA Tournament. (1992)

Not having a dog in the hunt, it appears the recruiting of players (alleged of course)in our area has been impacted by the sudden growth of other private schools. In the past it was easy to identify a kid in biddy ball, have parents buddy up with the kid's parents and boom, there's your 6-7 power forward at a private school, headed to the SEC in 4 years, all in the name of "doing the right thing." Now the pool really has not grown all that much and there's more sharks in the water. And the old sharks and those taught by the old sharks, don't like the competition. All a theory of course...

Karma.

Add me to the list that disagrees with this. Byron is a good man, good leader, and excellent mentor to these young men. I understand your vitriol toward the organization because of your personal experience there, but Byron was no part of that, and his name should not be defamed by a bitter former student.

As someone suggested in a previous thread, you seem to have a lot of expert opinions.... but on this one, you are flat out wrong.

I would hardly call this an expert opinion. More of a common sensical observation. People crush Hud when his team's behavior is unacceptable but give high school coaches a pass. My opinion on what's occurred under Byron is not an attack on his character. It's simply pointing out the fact that the kind of people that are now suiting up for LCA is a drastic difference than what it used to be, and quite contrary to what it supposedly stands for.

I am not bitter in the least toward that institution. Im happy my parents had some foresight, and moved our family away from the situation. I have mixed feelings about the experience, but bitterness is not one of them.

I'd like to know what you're connection is to LCA and/or Byron

I'll use your quote, "my wallet allows me to get to know the people that pull the strings." haha
jk.

looks like they run the score up on other less fortunate teams. Still pressing up by more than 50 points late in the game.
