Larry Wilson (basketball)
Larry Wilson is an American former basketball player. Born in Raceland, Louisiana, he attended Central Lafourche High School in nearby Mathews. Although he originally harbored dreams of playing football, Wilson was instead encouraged to play basketball due to his height. He emerged as a star at Central Lafourche as he averaged 30 points per game during his final two seasons and was named Louisiana's Most Valuable Player during his senior season in 1975. With the constant attendance of coaches from major colleges at his games, Wilson was one of the nation's most sought-after prospects and received an estimated 250 athletic scholarship offers. At the end of his high school career, Wilson initially committed to play for the LSU Tigers. A few weeks later, he changed his mind and decided to play for the Division II Nicholls Colonels due to his good relationship with head coach Don Landry and a desire to play close to home for his family.

People From Raceland, Louisiana
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts.

The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Basketball Players From Louisiana
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, opposing one another on a rectangular court, compete with the primary objective of shooting a basketball (approximately in diameter) through the defender's hoop (a basket in diameter mounted high to a backboard at each end of the court, while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. A field goal is worth two points, unless made from behind the three-point line, when it is worth three. After a foul, timed play stops and the player fouled or designated to shoot a technical foul is given one, two or three one-point free throws. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but if regulation play expires with the score tied, an additional period of play (overtime) is mandated. Players advance the ball by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or by passing it to a teammate, both of which require considerable skill. On offense, players may use a ...
