Mike Schmitt spent the early part of his coaching career traveling all across Louisiana, coaching at five different schools in a decade. But he's now in his seventh year at Eaglecrest, and you can be sure the Raptors are glad that he continues to head their program. His tenure has overseen Eaglecrest's steady ascension, including playoff trips in 2014, 2013 and 2012 — when they were a surprise quarterfinalist in Class 5A. This season, Schmitt's Raptors are the lone remaining unbeaten team in 5A at 7-0, and are ranked No. 3 in this week's CHSAANow.com football poll. He's a compassionate coach who lives by a code of sportsmanship.
