1992-2008
*= Special Teams
and Athlete were not on coaches ballot and were
selected based off of a practically unanimous agreement in conversations
among coaches and fans. "The All-Gaille
Team" The talk of
an "All-Gaille" team began during a pre-game conversation between coaches at the Newman game
in 2008. Coaches Shane Kliebert, Eltonary Oubre, and Byron Keller created a ballot of nominees. In summer of
2009, this ballot was issued to Coach Rick Gaille
himself and the two coaches who been with Coach Gaille
throughout the bulk of his tender -- Coaches Donald Rodrigue
and Danny Shepard. All three
coaches filled out their ballots and then a "track-and-field"
points system was used to select the teams. 10 points for a first-place vote, 8 points
for a second-place vote, 6 points for a third-place, and so on. Neither coach was allowed
to associate with each other about their ballot selections. THE FIRST TEAM When viewing
the results for the first time, we realized that there was no way we can
leave Corey Webster on the bench throughout a game with this St. James
team. We created the "Utility
Athlete" position because Levet no doubt had
the quarterback position locked up with all 3 first-place votes. Levet was a perfect
Wing-T quarterback, but Webster is playing in the NFL at cornerback. Corey
Webster is the only St. James quarterback under Coach Gaille
to run the shotgun version of the Wing-T, which is very similar to today's
"Wildcat" formation. No
doubt, Webster would see lots of playing time on both offense and defense of
this St. James team. The dream
backfield of Kerry Levet, Luther Ambrose, Elix Keller, and Chad Jasmin is
one that should get a lot of Wildcat fans excited just reading this. Could anyone imagine those four on the same
team, at the same time, and all in their prime? And then throw in
Dennis at split end. Coach Rod
once said that Martin "Bull" Harry at middle linebacker delivered some
of the hardest hits he ever seen in football. Two sets of
brothers made the first team. Rydell and Jeremy Harry are brothers as are Luther Ambrose
and Ricky Washington. Two of these
first teamers would go on to play in the NFL.
Corey Webster is currently playing in the NFL and Cory Geason played a few seasons after graduating from Tulane. The Second
Team is listed below: SECOND TEAM OFFENSE Quarterback: Corey Webster Halfback: Wallace Batiste Halfback: Gary Davis Fullback: Rory Webre Split End: Wendel
