At just 8 years old and then again as a 13-year-old high school freshman, John Fourcade learned about the execution of an about-face. On his first day of practice on the West Bank playgrounds his coach pegged him as a defensive lineman, but by the end of that first workout Fourcade had been switched to quarterback. That switch to quarterback proved to be effective - he went on to an exceptional career at the high school, college and professional levels.
Fourcade will be one of four standout local sports figures to be inducted into the Allstate Sugar Bowl's Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame on Aug.
