Is 5A down this year? I am trying figure how in the hell Ponchatoula is the 23 seed? We are not good at all. Play at Chalmette, I expect us to get smoked.

Because the LHSAA really wants to end the split. So they took every school that takes kids from out of zone and made them Select. Every private, charter, and school with open enrollment. The thought that was if they put enough of the public schools in the Select bracket, the vote would swap to end the split. So Ponchatoula is 23 in Non Select D1...But if there wasn't a split they would be 29. They really don't have any bad wins/winless teams/worst win was 3-7. That Walker win went a long way in getting their power rating up by getting 18 points.
