re: LHSAA basketball bracket question...

I should add that it's not unique to CL, but it was funny to see their posts on NOLA, etc. like they were the CLHS PR team

What's the latest?

So do we get the brackets now?

Terrebonna wins!!! Cant believe Central Lafourche will not attempt to play game. Never know in todays world what could happen. If they would pull MIRACLE they would be eligible!

CL will go down as a forfeit but will not pay a fine.

Jesus Christ, most of the select brackets are byes the entire first round, and most of the second round. GO SPLIT!!!!!!!!

If Terrebonne gets the forfeit win after Central Lafourche had that fight Friday night, does it count as travel and they get to host us in round 2?

BUMP

found the answer to my question in LHSAA rule 6.13.5

quote:

---

If a school forfeits its first round playoff game, the game shall be considered as a home game for the team receiving the forfeit

i was looking in the basketball section of the handbook and i should have been looking under "athletic contests"

oh well. we have home court advantage now all the way to Lake Charles

Robin fambrough is live tweeting the hearing. Cl apparently threw the first punch and missed.

According to ESJ. Lafourche deputy says ESJ player threw two punches. Which seems more likely?

- Central Lafourche up 20 points.
- Robinson - CL player they claim threw punch, a honor student that has never been in trouble, never even gotten a referral in his life.


- East St John down 20 points.
- Javon Antonio - ESJ player claimed to throw the first punch. Missed the football season opener for starting a brawl with Landry/Walker in scrimmage.

I wonder if any of their fans chiming in here were actually at that game.

Was not at the game had the flu, but my buddy was sitting right there next to Robinson's mom whom he was smiling at before he got punched he saw the whole thing. If they would have claimed another CL player punched first I may have believed it, but Robinson is the last player that would hit anyone.

Fans are rarely correct about what happened on the courteam. They wear those rose colored glasses.

Again, which scenario is more likely? Player with troubled past on the losing team throwing first punch? Or a kid with spotless record playing his best game of the year.

Also, I wasn't wrong about the victory when I posted it. The game was originally scored as a CL Win, but was changed to double forfeit over the weekend.

Initially a win, then changed to double forfeit

CL people were defending Robinson passionately because they know what kind of kid he is. Plus there were many more CL fans at the game than ESJ so many more Central people saw what actually went down with their own eyes.
