Shaw @ Rummel is going to be painful to watch.

Can't wait till Bairnsfather is gone.

Mandeville beats Ponchatoula 31-27...

Should be higher,

Agreed, they've looked great. Calpreps is whacky though with some weird formula for everything. West Monroe was #2 last week and beat #4 Franklinton, yet dropped to #3 this week. Rummel lost, stays the same. Byrd beat 1-3 Captain Shreve and somehow jumps WM on Calpreps. Who knows how the computer comes up with this crap.

they look like they could make a run this year.

There are only 10 teams in their division. It takes TWO WINS to make it to the Dome. Run isn't necessary. They can take a stroll to the "State Championship"

What has happened to L.W. Higgins?
That used to be a good program with some really serious players coming from there. Now they're the bottom of the West Bank.

Has Karr always been a magnet? If not, I would think their emergence would have something to do with it as well.

TJ is pretty good at football for their size (they have some talent that would play at any of the other WB schools).

Higgins clearly misses their old head coach Meyers.

That 10 has no cupcakes who are there to make up the numbers though...

They'd get a bye and likely never leave the city. I just have a hard time calling someone a State Champion that only competed against 10 teams total. Then again, I'd love to just see 2 State Champs for Louisiana. A large school and small school champ, cut it off at either a thousand students or just split down the middle evenly. People will say the smaller schools wouldn't be able to compete with the upper level of the small schools, but I disagree. Also, the disparity between the bottom of 5A and the top in enrollment is large already.

Nothing against those 10 schools at all. I'm against the split and think you should earn a title, not water it down until everyone is a winner.
