Congratulations to the 2020 Inductees!
The Archbishop Rummel Class of 1994’s Corey Avrard certainly made the most of his time in a variety of Rummel uniforms, both baseball and basketball. Avrard etched his name in the Raider Basketball record book by finishing his career with an all-time high 627 assists while also joining the 1000 Point Club with a career scoring average of 15.6 PPG. Avrard earned All-District Honors in both 1993 & 1994, and capped off the 1993 season by adding All-East Bank and New Orleans All-Metro Honors to his list of accomplishments.
Avrard also made his mark on the Raider Baseball program, with a career pitching record of 20 wins, just 4 losses, and a stellar career ERA of 0.69. In the 1994 5-AAAAA District Championship Game, he tossed a no-hitter vs Jesuit High School to help the Raiders claim the Catholic League Title with a 1-0 victory. The right-hander was named the Catholic League’s MVP that year, and added a host of additional accolades to his trophy case, including Louisiana All-State, All-District (for the 2nd time), American Legion State Player of the Year, and was named to the Rawlings High School All-American team. He was also named The Rufus Award winner.
Avrard never stopped there, as he was the winning pitcher in Team USA’s Medal round victory over Cuba in the 1994 World Games with a complete game victory. The win sent the United States to the championship finals. Avrard led the team in wins, ERA, and strikeouts.
Corey signed with LSU and was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1994 Major League Draft with the 82nd overall pick.

Archbishop Rummel Alumnus Mike Corn, a 1979 graduate walks on rarefied air. Corn remains the only Cross Country Coach in Raider history to win a district and state championship. Corn established the foundation for success as his program finished in the Top 10 in the State Cross Country meet every season he served as coach. His teams earned nine Top 5 finishes in his 11 years (1991 – 2002) at the helm.
As a student, Corn was also an accomplished runner. This success sparked his desire to return to Severn Ave. where he could steer the Raider Track Program to new heights. His coaching accomplishments include Metro Cross Country COY in 1996, 5A Louisiana Track & Field Coaches Association Coach of the Year 1996, and the 1996 team finished as the 5A Louisiana State Champions.
