re: LHSAA's select/nonselect balance shifts again, playoff structure pending

The split is not great but it addressed an issue that 100% had to be looked at and should have been addressed when the LHSAA was first created. Public and private schools operate under different sets of rules. Now maybe the answer is to allow public schools to play kids for anywhere as long as they attend the school. I’m all about choice. But the people who throw out schools like Many as some gotcha are so short sighted, even with many’s Sabine parish advantage it doesn’t come close to the built in Advantage allowed to all private schools whether they take advantage of it or not. And the split isn’t about recruiting it is about which students can attend you school and be eligible which is where the disparity is in the rules. You put a private school on the same site as many and they could have players from the surrounding 4 parishes which we see with a lot schools. The answer isn’t t to go back to the terrible pre split stays quo where half the schools in the state play with 1 arm tied behind their back. It is end the split by fixing the initial issue. The poster who said we use to settle it on the field is so laughably ignorant by the way. Yeah settled it on the field with 2 separate set of rules.
