Except for that whole 1 out of our last 50 dating back to 1984
Even this year’s team has a lower computer rating than any Catholic League team. It’s like going from the minors to the majors and I heard we will appeal
I should have clarified.
Not on the football field.
From a cultural point of view. Chalmette has more in common with the catholic schools, top to bottom, on and off field, then either Karr or WE does.
On the football field, we are going to have some catching up to do, no doubt.

Interesting that Salmen moved up to 5A. They've been 4A for as long as I can remember. Also interesting that the Northshore 5A district will now have 9 teams.

My idea would be to split it in 2
Mandeville, Covington, St Paul’s, Ponchatoula, Hammond
And…
Northshore, Slidell, Fontainebleau, Salmen, and Chalmette. Maybe others will play up

Probably not a bad idea. 9 teams seems way too crowded, and would mean that all but 2 regular season games would be district games.
Now, how to split them up is the interesting question.
Under the new enrollment numbers, the current district has 3 schools in Slidell (Slidell, Northshore, and Salmen), 2 schools in Mandeville (Mandeville and Fontainebleau), 2 schools in Covington (Covington and St. Paul's), and 2 schools in Tangipahoa Parish (Hammond and Pontchatoula).

What the LHSAA needs to do is, have another period for teams to declare to play up after the districts are made… like for example if they made the Slidell/Salmen/Northshore/Fontainebleau/Chalmette district, maybe Pearl River or Lakeshore may want into it but as it is they don’t have that option

The top teams in D3 select(Uhigh, Calvary, Notre Dame, Dunham) can definitely beat LCA on any given Friday night.
Dunham will be strong next couple of years with that stud QB.

The LHSAA just needs to get rid of district play. The districts don't mean anything anymore. Also, with the power rankings in place, if you play a weak district you get screwed in your ranking. Just let the schools schedule whoever you want. District titles don't mean anything anymore

quote:and who made it that way? Years of LHSAA rule changes to devalue district play in every sport
The districts don't mean anything anymore.
Now granted the other extreme is Texas where district play is the only thing that matters in the regular season…
The brackets are too big… drop the 28 and 24 team playoff brackets to 16 (make the regular season 11 games) with all district champions guaranteed in and placed in the bracket first to get home games and it will mean something again. You can still use the power rating system to fill in wildcards in each bracket and if there’s a few three way ties, you might be out of luck

the bottom 10-20% wouldn't get scheduled because they draw 15 people.

While districts can't kick anyone out... I do wonder if the Catholic schools made some calls to the LHSAA to say they really didn't want Karr, and really really didn't want Easton, what with their recent eligibility problems.
karr wanted out $$$$ .

Help me out. Am I reading this correctly that LCA will be playing football in district 6-2A with lowly Lake Arthur and Welsh?

Their other programs aren't fairing as well as their football team so they are playing in their correct enrollment division instead of playing up. Also losing Johnson will definitely make them look different next few seasons

the rise of charters is a recent and different animal, that is being dealt with correctly.
look up ECA's and JC's record vs "urban and suburban" schools in the 8 years before the split.

I'm going to keep saying this... it is absolutely asinine that we are continuing to use a class system for districts and a division system for playoffs.
We need to either 1) have seperate districts for select and non-select or 2) Allow select and non-select to compete in the same districts, but only have 4 divisions of districts instead of 5 classes
(same rationale applies to sports with 5 divisions and 7 classes)
I think district championship still means something to the players... it's still a championship, a shirt, a year on the banner, etc.
Would you still use the power ratings to seed the 16 teams... i.e if you have 10 districts... 10 champions, 6 wild cards, then seeded by PR?

But if that was the case you’d seed (with the PR) the champions first from 1-10 and then 11-16 would be the wildcards after that
