re: New LHSAA Enrollment numbers

i'd put HC above Rummel and Shaw... that's a badass campus and they always seem to be advertising something. Rummel and Shaw go as Metairie and the West Bank go.

and i'll go one step further and call HC a sleeping giant... something ain't happening in their athletics since they rejoined 5A

Facilities are great, but speaking strictly on who they are letting in, HC is not on par with BM or Jes.

Not on par in what way? Quality of students academically? Jesuit's Jesuit, but I think you're overhyping the average BM student.

I also attended Rummel

For the Rummel guys, this is no troll. In the last 8-10 years Rummel has gone down hill a good bit in terms of their student body. Me and a coworker who was an '06 Rummel grad went to their school for a work event and he was shocked at how small the grades were and how the student body seemed so much "rougher around the edges"

I graduated from Rummel in '07 and at the time the student body was MUCH larger.

I think they also mean the student body isn't as polished, and you can see it with Shaw and St. Aug too. Just making up numbers here, but let's say 10 years ago 300 kids applied each year, you could take the best 250 knowing about 25 of them were let in on a provisional basis. Now, the applications are down to 200, and of the 150 that you let in, 50 are in on a provisional basis. The numbers are made up, the point is to illustrate how the quality of the kids are dropping.

And remember, a lot of people who would have sent their kids to a NOLA Catholic school now live in Mandeville/Covington/Madisonville/Dutchtown/etc. Schools in those areas are booming right now. Hannan will be 3A next time they reclassify, going up from 1A when they first opened and St. Pauls use to be 4A and now are one of the larger 5As.

Lefty should be good to go. Also watch out for tge bball team this year. Less talent but far more discipline. And btw, PBS played a great game in the dome. Robert is a great athlete.

Good deal...

Yeah finally healthy good game plan just got out manned

As a Rummel grad, I personally think they sold out to athletics

idk... if that were the case, their other teams would be dominating too...

i have a question... Ghost said earlier in the thread that Shaw might not want to play up again and St. Aug is declining. That leaves the Catholic League to four teams in a worst-case scenario. In an LHSAA divided by select and nonselect, does it make sense for Chalmette and Landry-Walker to play in the Catholic League?

if not, NOLA will have 12 5A teams total between the JP district and Catholic schools. how would you divide them? do you incorporate Hahnville, Destrehan, and East St. John and cause a domino effect across other districts?
