Maybe the greatest team in Louisiana high school history, this football team was simply punishing. Even crazier, this was a game between the previous years national champions (WM-98, Lee-99) and WM made it look like a scrimmage.
There was a lot more to it than that. It was mostly due to money. Don't be mad for that Louisiana butt kicking y'all took. I was on the Midland sideline running the chains and the excuses were funny. Too humid, too hot, too wet, too many mosquitoes, etc...
First Last sorry but I'm going to mention one team is from an area that's describe the climate as arid desert grassland, I think there going to struggle in a hot humid environment like Louisiana, and obviously the kids don't have time to climatize to the climate, so then you have to worry about heat stroke or other heat related illness is going to be a possible issue and which happens to be leading cause of death in American football.
32 for Lee Cedric Benson, NFL
87 for Lee is Eric Winston, NFL
Midland Lee wins Texas 5A state championships later that season.
This was a rare game. Meaning that Texas UIL allowed Midland Lee to travel out of state to play a game
Rest in peace Cedric Benson

Number 74 for west Monroe is Andrew withworth
Whitworth turned out to be a much better NFL player than Winston.
@@WMLANVAand a future Hall of Famer
RIP Cedric Benson he passed away today in motorcycle accident
Both teams mascot are the Rebels pretty cool.
classic game
West Monroe had the rebels come out and then refused the game in Midland.
About as yellow as you can get

Pussy ass team

Classic teams
Too bad the field was Terrible? This would have been a different result? Midland was a pure running team but they could'nt really run on that slop?
West Monroe ran it
Two programs once powerhouses now suck.
