NOTE: This is part 3 of a 5 part series listing the best New Orleans-area prep football performers by position.
If it’s what’s up front that really counts, then the interior linemen who protected their quarterbacks and cleared the way for their ball carriers to “run to glory†are the players responsible for their success. And New Orleans has had more than its share of greats.

It has been written that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That applies to history, too.
And those whose endeavors were the subjects of the history books speak for themselves.
Part of St. Augustine’s 2010 football team won a championship game at the Cotton Bowl a few weeks ago.
