Why is high school football in Baton Rouge so bad?

Really in the state, it just seems bad but I was watching sportsline Friday night the other day and the scores are always so lopsided. Very rarely do you see close scores in BR games. And the highlights are always really bad. How good are the coaches? They all just hop from school to school.
I see schools in Texas who just look the part and are legit. I know Louisiana produces great talent but how come the overall level of play here is so bad?

Forced busing changed the public schools from being neighborhood schools and increased enrollment at private schools. Prior to that Baton Rouge had good football and the games had good attendance

The coaching isn't very good.

DSHS coaching is legit

Private schools recruiting the cream of the crop kids from middle schools and youth leagues will never give BR public schools a chance to make it. The only public school that's competing is Scottlandville.
It's nothing new, been going on for years.

Dutchtown and Central (both places I've lived) seem to do good every year.
I guess both aren't technically BR though anymore. When I lived in Central it was still BR

It's not that it's bad, it's more that a lot of places in the state are really really good.

This...absolutely this.
The desegregation order in the early 1980's not only fricked up the school system, it ruined public HS football as well.
Tara, Belaire, Broadmoor, Capitol, and Glen Oaks basically have no chance to be consistently good. Istrouma also was struggling and that school doesn't even exist any more. Capitol got divided into a boys/girls academy. They suck. Lee High no longer exists. Woodlawn has had good teams but they basically suck too.
One a-hole judge over 30 years ago fricked it all up and it hasn't been fixed.

Is Judge Parker still alive? Is he proud of what BR public schools have become?

He died last year.
The deseg angle is worthless now with the deseg case being over and kids now being able to go to their neighborhood schools. The bigger problem in athletics in most instances now is kids not being able to academically qualify for athletics. The new GPA requirements should be able to address that now.

Wat???
You expect that after 30 years of tearing down a once great school system things will magically revert back to the old way withing 5 years of the deseg law ending? The damage is done, brother. EBR schools are done forever, and it was Judge Parker's ruling that condemned it to death.

That doesn't seem to hard to stay eligible

Seems as though in Texas there is a lot of talented kids on the teams as a whole. In LA, it seems as though it's just one or two really good players, and a bunch of borderline varsity players. Except for the private school who recruit all the talent to one team.
