Where do I begin? Covid (Omicron) got a hold of me. Doing better now but since my Saints beat the Bucs, it’s been rough. Thankful that the vaccines prevented things from being worse. I have the absolute best support staff in Leah, Raina and Lorynn. Mask up people, this is real.

I am a high school coach in Louisiana and I am not disgusted to see kids having fun and be involved in competitive activities. I support the Bootleggers 7 on 7. I’m pretty sure that my program is not seen as disobedient nor disrespectful. 🤷🏽♂️. By the way I was there that night.

Align yourself with people that share your vision. Everyone can’t and won’t see what you’re seeing. Those who do and are willing to sacrifice will be champions. BRICK BY BRICK, DAY BY DAY. Our time is coming!!!! #GRAMFAM

God is good. A bit emotional. A special thanks to Coach Rusty Phelps and his Jennings High program and coaches. They are letting us borrow helmets and shoulder pads until we get our stuff back right. Just football coaches that have built a great respect for one another. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Coach Valdez in January: Get A’s and B’s, Don’t miss a day in the weight room and you must run track. Be a leader and trust the process.

I don’t care about the politics about to vaccinate or not. To wear mask or not. I’m vaccinated mainly for my family and to get back to Friday Nights like this at in Beautiful Downtown Vacherie. Please do your part so we can get back to our way of life.

Conversations with college coaches these days. “He is a dog, we love his film, grades and test score are great. We don’t have any scholarships though, can he walk on?” The Covid extra year and the transfer portal has our high school seniors this year getting a raw deal.

Here is a glimpse of our 2019 LHSAA Class 3A State Championship Rings. This Corona Virus pandemic has slowed the production of our rings due to quarantine orders. Can’t wait to get back to normal, so we can work on earning another one. You’ll know when we get them. Stay safe!!!!

We are blessed to have a lot college coaches come through 2600 A. P. Turead. This one is special for me. I’m so proud of my dude Trovon Reed. We go way back to my West Thibodeaux Middle days. Of course we won a ton of games.

Congratulations, but I’m tired of all these PWO’s for the best kicker in Louisiana. I hope someone stands on the table and offers some real money. Stop trying to get my kid for free while chasing portal hoppers.
After a long talk with @RossJynx I am excited to receive a PWO offer to Southeastern University!

So you don’t want to play O Line huh? Ok, sit back and watch these elite individuals get paid while you chase 2 tackles and 1 assist per game.
Saints' OT Ryan Ramczyk is signing a five-year, $90 million extension that includes $60 million guaranteed and makes him the new highest-paid RT in football, a source tells @AdamSchefter.

With all due respect sir. I am compelled to disagree with you. We are fully aware of the terminal consequences of COVID-19, I urge you to bring all parties involved to the table and find a way to work on this situation. @realCleoFields
BREAKING: According to @WAFB, Louisiana state senator Cleo Fields has submitted a letter to the BESE requesting that all athletic activities at K-12 public schools be cancelled through December.
Fields is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Education.

Alright college football coaches now that the AFCA Convention is over, let’s hit this road on the recruiting trail. Some of y’all got the jobs y’all wanted, some of y’all kept a job, and I know some are still looking. We have talent in Louisiana and you know it. See you at SJH.

The longer I coach. The more I realize that you can’t want more for people, that don’t want more for themselves. The most talented doesn’t always equate to the most committed.

As we begin the 21 season, one that already has so many challenges. My fraternity of coaching colleagues in all levels and sports, please protect your mental state. We put so much aside to provide for our teams and at times it can be rough. Continue to bless the ones we serve.

So, I like to do some research from time to time. 2022 is the year of the Tiger. My birth year was also a year of the Tiger. This ain’t no coincidence. #GRAMFAM

We have seen the complete gamut of emotions from St James HC Robert Valdez over the past decade.
Tonight sheer frustration (but still composure) in his emotional post-game comments to @becnel_george following OT loss to SCC which included controversial pass interference call
