The First Football Team, L. B. Landry High School

After a long and arduous journey, seven years, we are managing to locate pearls of history within our midst. A single photo will elicit memories and cause much wondering about past times. Much was done by the faculty and community to support school activity. And, a successful football team was near the top for extracurricular activities. This website was gifted one picture that leaves volumes of questions for the viewers. Who are these guys? Where are they, now. Can their relatives identify them? Many more questions can be asked and this will stimulate numerous conversations among the Buccaneer and the associates crowd.

All of these tigers were fierce competitors and champions by their deeds. Regardless of their colors, the stripes remained and the legacy did not change. Finally, Grrrrr! Let’s listen to Coach Flanagan.
