Hall of Fame induction for Seimone Augustus brings a Lions' Pride and legacy into the spotlight.

The Instagram post Seimone Augustus made last month from Minnesota has made the rounds. Instead of wearing practice gear or something in a Minnesota Lynx blue, Augustus wore her gold Capitol jersey.
"My wife called because she was so excited to see Seimone in that Capitol High jersey," former Capitol coach Alvin Stewart said. "Seimone never forgets where she came from. She's proud to be from Baton Rouge, Capitol and LSU and she shows it. And we're proud of her. Those are her true colors, too."
Augustus, who starred for Stewart at Capitol from 1998-2002, is part of a star-studded class being inducted into the National High School Sports Hall of Fame at 5 p.m. Sunday in Indianapolis. Former NFL star Derrick Brooks, Major League Baseball player and manager Dusty Baker and Indiana basketball legend Damon Bailey are in the class too.

A back story: Return to Woodlawn is a perfect fit for ex-LSU QB Marcus Randall
Jul 15, 2019
At age 37, Marcus Randall is still a young head coach. Players are creative when they ask about his role in LSU's "Bluegrass Miracle" win over Kentucky in 2002.
"Even if they don't know it, they hear about it, I'm guessing from parents or older relatives. I think they go and Google it," said Randall, a former Glen Oaks and LSU quarterback. "Then they mention it, just to see what I am going to say. That lets me know they are doing their homework."
Returning to Woodlawn, the school where he started his career as an assistant coach, is special for Randall. There are concerns since Woodlawn moves up to Class 5A and District 5-5A with the likes of Division I finalist Catholic High and 5A quarterfinalist East Ascension this fall.

By Robin Fambrough
What can Brown, as in Zachary High two-sport standout Keilon Brown, do for Memphis? If all goes well, play quarterback in football and in the outfield for the Tiger baseball team.
Brown, the Broncos' two-time Class 5A all-state quarterback, committed to Memphis on Monday night, about three weeks after an unofficial visit to the school.
"I've been talking about this with my parents and the rest of my family for a while," Brown said. "We came to the conclusion that Memphis is right for me. They are good with me playing both sports, and that is big. There also is a level of comfort I feel when I'm around the players and coaches."
