South Lafourche High School has reported to the LHSAA a rule violation involving football coaches of Destrehan High School following the game between the schools. The alleged violations involve improper and unauthorized access by certain Destrehan coaches to practice video of the South Lafourche team during the week of practice prior to the game. The practice sessions of the team are recorded on a HUDL password protected web-based account, which allows players to access practice sessions to view their performance. The viewing of the video of SLHS practices, in the view of the administration and coaches of SLHS gave Destrehan an unfair competitive advantage and was a violation of sportsmanship, ethics and fair play, and potentially exposed South Lafourche High School players to an increased risk of injury. It is the understanding of SLHS that several of the coaches of the Destrehan football team have admitted to accessing the account and using the information to game plan against SLHS. The Lafourche Parish School Board administration and the administration at South Lafourche High School are awaiting a decision from the LHSAA and they are seeking forfeiture of the contest by Destrehan and discipline of the coaches involved in this unfortunate incident.
