State Championship in High School
Haynes graduated from Minden High School in 1964. He was a class officer each year of high school and played both offense and defense in football. He returned kickoffs and punts. In his senior year, Haynes scored sixteen touchdowns. For three years he started at quarterback and defensive back. He earned All-District designation in his junior year and both All-District and All-State in his senior year. He quarterbacked the team that went undefeated and won the AA state championship, 28-21, on December 6, 1963, over the strong competition from the combined census-designated places Larose and Cut Off in Lafourche Parish near Thibodaux in south Louisiana. The game, played in the Minden stadium, climaxed Minden's first ever perfect football season and its fourth state grid championship. Haynes received the Joe Oliphant Award in both 1963 and 1964, an honor named for a late Minden coach, athletic director, and teacher. He was selected the "most valuable back" for three years, and he was a Louisiana State Football All-Star in his senior year. Haynes' father had also been a star Minden football player.

“A lunatic may be “soothed,”... for a time, but in the end, he is very apt to become obstreperous. His cunning, too, is proverbial, and great.... When a madman appears thoroughly sane, indeed, it is high time to put him in a straight jacket.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I go to school to youth to learn the future.”
