Three Kings

From 1989 to 1993, three players ruled high school basketball in New Orleans; Cohen's Duane Spencer, John Ehret's Rayshard Allen, and Newman's Randy Livingston. Between them, they won six state titles, an AAU national championship, and numerous All-America honors. I brought them together to take a look back at their accomplishments, their influences, and their legacies.

Second To None: A conversation with Brice Brown

Edna Karr High School helped shape the person that I am today. Our school motto, "Second to None," is something that many of us share with pride. Today, one of the best examples of that is walking the hallways of the school and the sidelines of the practice fields. Brice Brown is arguably the most successful high school football coach in Louisiana. His influence extends even further. We talked about the game of football and about life in this episode of HITP.
