Book Description


What’s in a name? A lot, when you are talking about a certain high school in south Louisiana. Starting out as Thibodaux College before giving way to the name Thibodaux Central Catholic and ultimately E.D. White, the high school in the heart of bayou country has become synonymous with a quality Catholic education. Shortly after becoming E.D. White in 1966, the once-struggling Cardinals went on to win back-to-back football state titles in 1968 and 1969 Ever since the late 1960s, the Cardinals have produced a consistent winner in football to match the school’s success in the classroom.

The Cardinals: A History of E.D. White Catholic High School Football recounts the exploits of players and coaches who helped build a program that has its fans proudly proclaiming, “E.D. White, Fight, Fight, Fight.”
