Centenary College of Louisiana

Now, he coached Hal Sutton.

Um, Mr. Sutton hired Floyd Horgan to go to Centenary College way back when, 'cause he wanted Floyd to coach Hal at Centenary.

Not many people know that Hal Sutton went to Centenary.

He didn't go to Houston or Oklahoma State.

And, and okay, in recent memory, in recent history, Idaho is the only program in, in recent history that have gone FBS to FCS.

We've seen other programs like Centenary College go from Division I to Division III.

There's, there's others that I could mention as well.

Um, St. Francis, um, is, is doing that.

We'll talk more about that as the week develops.

Let's go to region number three here, and we'll start with Schreiner at Centenary in an out-of-conference showdown.

Second quarter, 321 remaining.

Christian Lora for Schreiner rushes up the middle for a 17-yard touchdown, and Schreiner takes an early 7-0 lead, and that would hold up at halftime as the score.

And here's Major Luna completing a short pass to Derek Gray for a 10-yard touchdown.

And it's 14-0 Shriner leading.

Centenary tries to come back here.

You're going to see Devon Strickland passing and finding Theopolis Dunn for a 44-yard touchdown.

Harden Simmons and East Texas Baptist tied for fourth.

Centenary and Concordia, Texas, tied for sixth.

McMurray eighth.

Schreiner ninth.

Cecil Upshaw is from Spursville, Louisiana, and he stands 6'6".

He went to Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana.

This is his second full year with the Braves.

He came up year before that for a half a season.

So it, it, it kind of works out good, but it, it forces me to keep it simple.

What does day one of the install kind of look like, you know, of the three, when you, when you start getting into installing an offense, I mean, you had to do that here at Centenary College.

What's the day one look like?

Well, I just go to the board.
