Getting back to the original thread as to who is the best team in History, I agree that St. Paul's last two years has been extremely good and well coached. Also, Jesuit 99 as well as other Jesuit teams have been fantastic. Brother Martin has had some very food teams too under Coach Ritter. Slidell, Acadiana and Lafayette have fielded some very good teams over the years. I am sure I am leaving out some very good teams.
Longevity also has something to do with a team being the best ever and I'll throw out there the Catholic-BR teams of 1990 through 1995.
They absolutely excelled by winning it all when there was only one division. Went to the finals 4 out of 5 years. Won 90, 91, and 93. Lost to Slidell in in 92 and Jesuit in 95.
Where they the best, who knows. They can't play each other but I would say they are in the mix. The main thing is I enjoy watching them all. There will be some very good ones in the future. I am looking forward to that.

Well.. I don't even get in this argument for I have not seen a team play since 1999 as well as the 99 Jesuit squad..including my teams and including the last 15 years state championships I have seen since. Wish all of you could have seen them. 31 and 0 and no ties. By the way, I believe they were ranked #1 in the NSCAA poll at that time which having a Louisiana team in that list was unprecedented. Still, 'best' is a matter of opinion, fun to argue and a waste of time for it can't be proven one way or another. Coach deritter, it is probably best you didn't get into this part of the conversation as in truth, I am stirring the pot and challenging people on their assertions about praising themselves for being the best. You were a stellar coach and ran a good program that brought your team up in class. I have heard your radio show and commend you for trying to generate interest in the sport and high school game. Your contention for Jesuit 1999 seems to be a valid choice and I cannot argue with that selection. St. Paul's 2013 deserves to be in the mix too as they had a great year as well. But, like I say, if you pool your smaller schools away from the big schools, and then say only the big schools can be in the conversation of best ever, since the smaller schools have no chances of competing and challenging for the top prize in high school soccer, then like we saw this year in college football, we the prognosticators are going to be guilty of making some errors. Sorry to put my 2 cents in a conversation where I definitely don’t belong. BUT Wow this just put in perspective the achievement of the little team from down the Bayou, the Central Lafourche 99 who seems to be the only team that pushed Jesuit 99 to their limit. Second Round of the Playoffs 99: CLHS lost 2-1 Double Overtime (last minute) and Jesuit went on to beat Lafayette 5-0, Byrd 6-1, and Acadiana 3-0 That is cool And by the way, I agree, coach Deritter is indeed a great coach.
