Flaget?

It was an all-male Catholic high school in Louisville. It closed its doors in the 1970s. In addition to Paul Hornung, Oscar Brohm and I believe Howard Schnellenberger (I could be wrong on this one) also were Flaget Braves.

 

I don't have stats on hand but I think that it may have been one of the only schools around here to have winning records against T, X and H.

 

I actually remember reading an article about Trinity's first state title in '68 mentioning how there was a newcomer upsetting the balance of the "Big 4." I still smile whenever I think about that one.

Schnellenberger did play there. There were plenty of guys there that were great players Sherril Sipes one you may not have heard of. Bear Bryant offered all seniors scholarships the year Hornung and Sipes were seniors if the two of them would commit, I think that was '53 or '54 I didn't come along til later. Urban sprawl and the population migration to the suburbs doomed Flaget which located in Louisville's West End. Paulie Miller was one of the best HS coaches EVER and Flaget was a dominate force even after he was gone and the school had to go coed just to stay open, football was tops til the day the doors closed.
