Maybe he's talking about winnfield. Aren't they the only football school in Winn parish.

Well, I didn't want to name names, but yes, allegedly there are 3 high schools in Winn Parish that don't compete in football and Winnfield High supposedly is allowed to take students outside of their attendance zone if they declare that they want to play football (since it holds the parish's monopoly on football), and then those students also don't have to lose a year of eligibility either when transferring. In other words, they allegedly get the advantage of taking players from parish-wide and all of the school system's football resources are concentrated at Winnfield--instead of being split over 4 high schools. Does anyone know if this is all true? Seems to make Winnfield look like it is "selective" in its own way, at least when it comes to playing football. I know that Winnfield has been pushing for the split, but if this info is true, I guess I'm just confused as to how they aren't considered a "select" school themselves.
