Many can potentially pull athletes from Converse, Ebarb, Negreet, Florien, Pleasant Hill, or Zwolle since none of those schools play football. They only have to take in the athletes who want to play football (and they often end up playing several sports), so they are able to keep their population low. According to the most recent enrollment numbers, Pleasant Hill has 92, Ebarb has 103, Zwolle has 231, Converse has 182, Negreet has 165, Florien has 157, and Many has 372 (only 30 short of playing 3A as it is). So they can basically potentially pull from population of over 1000 kids and are playing 2A.
so not only are they one of the largest public schools in 2a they then get to choose players from another 600 plus. essentially they are choosing from 4-5a enrollment but only having to play 2a. they are the definition of select if there ever was one. they are recruiting athletes from all over the parish to come play football for them.
its horse shite!!
from what I am hearing - it is because the clause is there only for football players and they may not actually have any....

That’s a couple of schools that are 1A sized… I wonder if any of them have ever tried to have football and their school board shut that down?

For reference, Homer is the most recent 1A state champion. They have an enrollment of only 195. Their Claiborne Parish rival Haynesville has only 168 students.
Many gets to stay in 2A, but pull football players from a bunch of 1A size schools. These aren’t Class C schools with 40 students that can barely field a boy’s basketball team.
*Additional reference:
DeSoto Parish is Sabine’s northern neighbor. Both Sabine and DeSoto have similar populations.
DeSoto has three football schools:
1A - Logansport
3A - Mansfield
4A - North DeSoto
Sabine has one football school:
2A - Many
