You got two games correct. Also, OS is no longer participating.

Wonder if Johns Creek is still coming now that the head coach who was responsible for making it happen is gone

I was trying to match them based on what I feel would be the most even games.

They are. Contract was signed before he resigned. 

[Nolebull813]

So is this event complete minus Oscar Smith? Meaning they only need to find one more OOS team?

They were replaced. See Post #1 of this thread.

True true. I gotta keep the tradition alive

The Los Al/AHP (ESPN) game is no longer happening on 8/27. LA waited too long to purchase their airline tix and the rates are no longer affordable now. Instead they'll be visiting East UT on 8/26 and that game will now be streamed to a national audience on Flo! #PGL #playthebest

Should've sent them to Louisiana to play Destrehan

That’s unfortunate. Bad look for Los Al.

The trip to UT will be much more manageable for them. #babysteps

Los Al has pretty lofty expectations this year, perhaps unrealistic. Sure the trip to Utah is more manageable but it is a huge step down and looks bad for the program. They had their chance to make a statement. Not saying they would have done so. But now that chance is gone and they blew it.

They learned the hard way that making cross-country trips are more difficult than most think.

They couldn’t have had their heads buried in the sand and naive to not realize the logistics and costs involved. Don’t they have a rich daddy or alum to write a large check to offset the higher than expected costs? 😂

No idea. The event organizers were covering their hotel and buses so all they needed to pay for was airfare and meals.

I’m not going now. Los Al was the whole reason for the trip. SMH

Then you're not a real HSFB fan!! DeMatha at Cardinal Gibbons, St John's at Chaminade-Madonna, SJP at STA are all can't-miss games!!

Louisiana teams don’t play top OOS competition. And when they do, they usually lose. The best win last year was against a young and rebuilding OLGC team that lost 50-7 to the best team they faced. 
 

I haven’t even heard of any top OOS games so far for Louisiana this coming year. I guess they know to stay in their lane
