re: Louisiana High School Football will split Public/Private. **Edited with Yes/No**

some thoughts

the districts will be the same for the next two years (assuming everyone's under one banner).

shite will change at the reclassification meeting in 2014... odds are good you'll see st. paul's and catholic br with the NOLA Catholic League. that will give them a stable and logical 8 team district. byrd would stay with the shreveport district.

4A select i assume would be St Thomas More, Warren Easton, Karr, O.P. Walker, Ben Franklin, Teurlings, St. Michael, Vandebilt. Again 1 district

3A select NOLA would be Lusher, St. Charles, TJ, De La Salle, Clark, Curtis, McDonogh, and Miller McCoy

3A select everyone else would be E.D. White, St. Louis, Parkview, Notre Dame, and UHigh. Evangel and Loyola would stay in Shreveport (or move one to the Monroe district)

1A would be the only class with a North LA select district

travel should be less of a concern than ever... teams crisscross the state for each round of the playoffs and now are playing regular season games intersectionally

there will have to be a special provision in the power ratings to deal with nonselect schools who still choose to play select. maybe 4 or 6 points? of course you'd also get them for playing the Clarks and Miller McCoys of the select world, so that might be an issue. maybe only the good select teams should have a bonus with them.

I've had classes in trailers the whole time I've been in school. It's not a big deal

i notice we started losing once we stopped getting all-district linebackers and 6'8" 350 linemen...

the first transfers we got didn't really do much...

I don't like this. Will public and private still play in the regular season? St. Amant and Catholic have had a heated rivalry for longer than I've been alive.

the only school in this parish to vote yes was CL Lafourche... and they suck at most everything.

CL does not suck at almost everything. The only sport it has not had much of any success in is Basketball (and it's still had its moments and didn't have to recruit the players to do so unlike some school ), and recently football, and that's almost definitely about to change with the hiring of the new head coach.

- CL baseball = most successful public in area
- CL soccer = most successful public in area
- Girls cross country coming off district championship
- Girls track always at or near top of district
- Girls soccer = most successful public in parish
- Girls softball = most successful public in parish

Even academically CL has just about bypassed SL for top school in every category. Since Kimball's taken over as principal CL's test scores have almost doubled. Latest EOC test scores CL outscored SL (Algebra 72% to 62%, Biology 62% to 59 %, English 70% to 65%, SL outscored CL 53% to 45% in Geometry). Hell even CL's band won state this year & last.

It is about 5A. They bitched to get Evangel out of there resulting in them going to 1A,then to 2A

The private schools will not break away as a group. I do not think that the people talking about it realize what it would take. The principal from Jesuit came off like a spoiled, little brat today that did not get his way.

Which line of public school logic are we going with today? Private schools have endless money and they offer everyone and their mom scholarships to play sports or private schools don't even have enough money to break away from the LHSAA? You guys are insane.

And I got news for you. Every athlete at a public school is on scholarship! It's called my tax dollars, so quit whining. If you want to make your public schools better, how about you guys quit letting leftist loonies run your schools and get some damn discipline.

Definitely They play under two different rules. New Jersey does this. Public vs Parochial. All about recruiting
