Episcopal Knights Head Overseas for Historic Game | Baton Rouge News
Description
The Episcopal School of Baton Rouge is breaking ground as the first Louisiana high school football team to play overseas, heading to Dublin, Ireland in late August 2027 for a historic season opener—coinciding with a college game across town. This isn’t just about winning; it’s about global ambassadorship, with athletes representing their school, state, and the sport on an international stage. Under Coach Travis Bourgeois, the Knights are gaining leadership skills through cultural immersion: learning Gaelic football, touring the Cliffs of Moher, visiting Belfast’s Titanic Museum, and exploring Dublin. The team’s 2026 season kicks off with away games before their homecoming showdown against Catholic of Pointe Coupee on Sept. 18 at Memorial Stadium. If successful, this bold move could pave the way for similar global trips across other sports.
