Southeastern football goes viral for spotless locker room after LSU loss

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Southeastern Louisiana may have lost 56-10 to LSU on Saturday night, but the Lions left Tiger Stadium with online praise for their sportsmanship.

Photos shared by head equipment manager Cade Genovese showed the visitors’ locker room at Tiger Stadium cleaned and organized after the game, with equipment racks neatly stacked and towels folded in a corner.

“No matter the outcome. Always leave it better than you found it,” Genovese wrote on social media.

The post quickly went viral, drawing hundreds of thousands of views and reposts.

It was a small gesture that left a big impression.
