If you are Ouachita, you aren't worried about Ouachita Christian or St. Frederick, you are worried about Neville getting its charter. If it does and athletes can go there and play the best competition, then , then Ouachita is fricked.

JeffersonParish schools have long been fricked with Curtis and the Catholic league attracting players.

actually.. kemosabe.. since.. 1980.. JP public schools have 2 state titles 81 and 85... Catholic league state titles....87 and 12....

the big hurt to JP publics.. was a higher than statewide GPA requirement which sent a lot of GOOD coaches elsewhere... and since that rule was put in place...only 2 trips to the semifinals for them..... Ehret in 2000 and Kordell Stewart's sr. year where they were really robbed on a late muffed punt call.......but ehret and west jeff have been a shell of their former selves... and the rule was changed. but the damage was long since done... much like judge parkers to BR.

before that change... ehret and WJ had many semifinal appearances... of course the rise of shaw as a power hurt them with early playoff exits in bi district.

actually two of the worst calls i have seen in HS were both against ehret and both cost them semifinal games....

the east bank schools are hit much harder by catholics and jc...

the west bank has so much talent it really is like a different country...

This is such garbage. The majority of the professional football and basketball players from this area come from public schools, not private, so the talent is at the public schools. The private school just work harder and develop better, smarter systems for their athletes.

To be honest, unless you are putting in 40-50 hours a week coaching your sport or doing events that involve promoting your sport, you will get beat by the privates. And guess what, most those coaches do it for little or no money, not the stipend the public school coaches keep a lookout for.
