re: LHSAA Enrollment numbers for 2013-14

St. James sucks now

Riverside is pretty bad this season also.

With the size of the enrollment, the facilities, and the community support - how can Denham Springs be so average in athletics?

Their new coach destroyed that program.

Info on teams opting to play up

JC and ECA in 3A....nice

That's what they want to do.

If they put Ehret, WJ, Higgins, Cox together I would guess they'll throw Bonnabel in their too. They'll either make it an 8 team district with Hahnville, Desty, and ESJ or move the river parish teams somewhere else....again.
