Hundreds paid their final respects today to Ragin Cajuns Baseball Coach Tony Robichaux, who died last week following a heart attack. A touching funeral was held in Lafayette. Robichaux was praised as a man of faith and more than just a baseball coach to the hundreds of young men he had a chance to mold during his time as the head baseball coach at McNeese and U-L Lafayette. Robichaux said that when he reaches heaven, he would not be judged on how many games he won. This audio is courtesy of Darren Walker with U-L athletics…
