Reunion of Coach Sid’s 2002 Champs

Redemptorist Won Two State Championships

BATON ROUGE — Members and coaches of the 2002 Redemptorist High School State 3A Championship Football Team were honored on the 10th anniversary of the team’s championship.

Central head coach Sid Edwards, who coached the championship Redemptorist team, was on hand to greet his former players.

Edwards said it was a memorable team, which defeated defending state champion Parkview for the District Championship.  The Wolves went 15-0 and defeated Patterson in the Superdome.  That spring, 11 of the same players won the State 3A Basketball Championship.

The next year, Redemptorist and Coach Sid won the State 4A Football Championship, defeating John Curtis along the way.
