re: Bonine- the 2013 LHSAA split wasn't passed properly... OVERTURNED

It is really difficult to change someone's mind on this one. If someone really wants the split you can't change their mind. If someone really does not want the split you can change their mind. I think this is really going to create a bigger divide between the select and non select schools.

Agreed on that. Both sides seem to be locked in and probably going to be messy.

I like the split. I don't understand how people don't get the fact that public schools feel as though they play with players they are given while the private schools can cherry pick players and students from many school districts.
I also think most public schools would not be affected by a private school pull out. I think many private schools in BR would lose students they might typically get by people moving to the surrounding parishes after time. LA would eventually turn more like MS and TN.
Not sure how many city BR schools Catholic and Episcopal play every year.
You seem very naive to the realities of the magnet programs and charter schools recruiting that takes place in the larger metro areas..

Hell, I thought that vouchers were gonna save us from all this public private stuff. Then every school could get students from wherever they want. I guess with the election of a democratic governor the LHSAA pres figured he couldn't wait for the possibility.

Not naive just looking at it from the majority of public schools. 2 wrongs make a right and the other third gets screwed I guess.

A very average Dutchtown team played the select state champion three years in a row and won twice.

It's not messy if you support coming together... the split supporters need to realize that they have the sour grapes. They want to change the status quo. The burden of proof lies with them to prove why a split helps the LHSAA over no split up

When I played football we got knocked out by a private every year. Parkview in the quarters freshman year, parkview in the dome sophomore, and St Charles catholic in the second round junior year. My senior year when I wasn't playing the got beat by notre dame in the first round.
With that being said the split was idiotic and a massive fail.
A) the play offs should be a reward for having a great season not something that's handed to you for participating
B) yea privates can recruit but to be the best you have to beat the best.
C) 9 champions is entirely too much for Louisiana

ABSOLUTELY.
I think there definitely is a problem in the lower classifications....but nothing that can't be fixed by forcing private schools up via a multiplier or something of that nature. From what I've read, most of the complaining has come from schools 3A and below. I'm sure some principals at larger schools also have issues with the privates, but larger enrollments should negate some of the advantage privates have.
I, personally, don't like the split. I went to a public school (Hahnville). Some years we beat privates, others we didn't. I didn't look at it as them having some sort of unfair advantage, I looked at it as them being a better team. But in my lifetime, Hahnville has made it to the Dome 4 times. They won 3 of those games (92, 94, 03) against 2 public and 1 private school. We lost in 95 to Neville.

I could see it. Just look at other states public vs private. Over time if the split stayed I could see public schools becoming the more go to schools and people wanting to not go to city schools.

3A football simply isn't good. There are about 4 quality teams now. Public school 3a was a joke this past year. Lutcher rolled through with little to no effort. 3A select was much more difficult. Parkview had to beat U-High then St Thomas More.
I'm tired of scenarios where in a classification almost every team makes it.

I think the "almost everybody makes it was more on the private side because they were stretching a smaller number of teams over 4 classes.
As far as 3A - yeah, For Lutcher, they've won 3A on several occasions whether it was split or non split. But could not win in 4A whether it was split or non split.

That's a shame because historically, I always thought of 3A to be pretty evenly competitive.
For years, especially in the 90's-00's, they always produced the best (along with 1A) championship game.
Some of those old St James/Evangel games were great...and there's plenty other good examples like that.

Wrong. You had 0-10 and 1-9 public teams make the playoffs. One of those schools was 1-9 Winfield. Yes, the same winnfield run by the dumbass lady who started this. Are you happy Jane? Your 1-9 football team made the playoffs.
Posted on 1/16/16 at 5:07 pm to CyrustheVirus
That happened bc they didn't want to go to 16 team brackets...

How many teams were there per class. In the publics v the privates? I remember seeing the numbers on it awhile back somewhere.

Dude, take the hate blinders off. Jane Griffin was not happy that her shitty team made the playoffs. She's happy that Jesus Football Academy isn't beating Country BFE High 63-0 in the playoffs and making a complete mockery of the classification.
