Kyren Lacy was a superstar in all sports even before he became a famous college football star. This old video of mine from 2018 shows how much Thibodaux loved that kid. He was talented. Glad we will always have these great memories of him down here to remember @alltimegreattt
Here is my video of Kyren Lacy's @alltimegreattt game winning basket with 0.9 seconds left. They had to clear the court after. 65-63 Thib!

Saints receiver Keith Kirkwood @Kirkwood_Five has some good advice for all young athletes about trusting the process. If you work hard every day, your time will come. Then you have to make most of it. That’s what he and @TreQuanSmithUCF are doing right now for Saints.

Let’s also talk about Marvin Robertson Jr. @marvinjr_1 who overcame four fouls early in second half to finish with 13 key points. Only player I’ve ever seen bring Thibodaux and Raceland communities together. Missed his sophomore season at CL with knee injury. Now he’s a champ.

Thibodaux's Amik Robertson @_YoungTruth7 is one of a kind. Can play any position on the field. One of the greats from the bayou. Overlooked. Underrated. Nonstop intensity. I dare you to throw it in his direction. He'll make you pay. He'll make one NFL team very lucky soon.

Good news for area athletes in Terrebonne tonight. The School Board passed a vote to set aside $2 million in its budget to go towards turf fields at Terrebonne and STHS for 2019-20 school year. It clears a major hurdle in getting turf. See @JuliaArenstam story in paper tomorrow.
