WLAE to Premiere New Documentary!

 

In a city where prep sports captures the headlines and the attention of fans, no league has had more of an impact over the years than the Catholic League of New Orleans. Started in the early 1900’s by Jesuit, St. Aloysius and Holy Cross, the Catholic League was formally created after the addition of Redemptorist and De La Salle in 1956. In later years, Archbishops Rummel, Shaw and St. Augustine began their sports programs and were added to the league. Filled with talented athletes, coaching staffs and colorful characters, the Catholic League stands today as one of the oldest continuing prep leagues in the country with long running rivalries dating back over ninety years. Although teams have come and gone over the decades, the Catholic League with its storied past and lore remains intact today and is a powerful reminder of the glory days and the tradition of prep sports in New Orleans.  

In an effort to properly celebrate and document this unique part of New Orleans history, WLAE-TV is producing a new film entitled, Glory Days: The Catholic League of New Orleans.  This multi-part series will chronicle the early days of prep football, the formation of the league, the heyday of the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s & 80’s, the league today and a look towards the future. The story will be told through narration, interviews, photographs and archival films all captured in stunning high-definition.

Funding opportunities at three distinct levels will give those wishing to partner on this program a chance to help bring back the memories of the glory days of high school football. A red carpet preview screening party is in the works that will celebrate the glory and give Catholic League alumni a chance to gather and reminisce about the game and the league that they loved so much.

Glory Days: The Catholic League of New Orleans will premiere this Fall on WLAE.  Plans are to pledge this project by offering a DVD of the program, coffee table picture book and other related items as incentives to viewers who make a membership donation to the station.
