re: LHSAA: The Definition of 'Select' Schools Just Got A Lot More Broad

i will say though, the LHSAA needs to go away from the dome. the select championships showed that to be the case.

There are a lot of negatives about the Dome, from the costs to the location, but it’s impossible to find a substitute or replacement for it.

The goal of every high school player over the last 40 years has been “The Dome”. Very few states have a facility that has hosted so many iconic sporting events. Everyone form Muhammad Ali to Michael Jordan has won a title or championship in the Superdome.

To be able to provide high school kids an opportunity to play and win a state championship in the same venue as so many iconic moments is one of the good things about this state. It’s a shame the select schools were denied that opportunity this past season, and NOLA Covid politics denied everyone a couple of years ago.
