For nearly half a century, Friday nights in St. Martinville belonged to one man. Coach Carol Delahoussaye stood on that sideline for 46 years, first as head coach and later as athletic director, and in that time he built more than a football program. He built men.

The record speaks plainly enough. Thirty-one years as head coach. A 72 percent career winning percentage. The first coach in Louisiana’s public school system to reach 100 career victories. Two state championships in 1981 and 1984, a runner-up finish in 1985, seventeen district titles, and a place in the LHSAA Hall of Fame. Three times he was named Louisiana Coach of the Year.

But ask any of the hundreds of young men who played for him and they will tell you about something the record book cannot hold. They will tell you about discipline, about accountability, about a coach who expected as much in the classroom as he did on the field, and who treated every player like his own.

On Friday, September 18, the City of St. Martinville and St. Martinville Senior High School will officially unveil the football stadium as Carol Delahoussaye Stadium. His name will stand over that field for as long as young people in this community lace up their cleats and take that field on a Friday night.

Every former player is invited to come home for this one. If you wore the uniform for Coach D, this moment belongs to you as much as it does to him. Come stand on that field again. Bring your family. Bring your stories.

Merci beaucoup, Coach.
