Public high schools should refuse to play private schools
Posted on 8/31/09 at 11:11 am

When St. Thomas Aquinas of Florida smashed Upper Arlington of Ohio 52-7 on Saturday (and it would have been a lot worse if the starters hadn't been pulled early), at least four players who played significant roles on the winning side were at different high schools last year.
Why public schools willingly set themselves up as punching bags for teams with such an unfair competitive advantage is beyond me.
At the very least, playoffs for state championships should not include private schools.

Don't public high schools in Louisiana win state titles far more often than privates?

because schools like West Monroe, Hoover, Destrahan, etc cant be successful

They smashed them because Upper Arlington isn't on the same level as the #1 school in Ohio, let alone the entire country. Public v Private makes no difference here. And in Ohio they are pretty equal...

Other than John Curtis and Evangel, which private schools in LA have won state championships recently?

Isn't it enough that John Curtis and Evangel have experienced far more success than could be expected if they were public schools?

outside of john curtis, who competes in a pathetically weak 2a division in LA, the most successful program in the state hails from west monroe and is public

Maybe more so in other states, but I don't think it is the case in Louisiana.

Pretty sure Louisiana took care of the problem by forcing them to dominate their actual classification.

Notre Dame a while back too but if you transfer in Louisiana you have to sit out a year.

Then why haven't Jesuit, Brother Martin, St. Aug, Shaw, Holy Cross, Newman, Country Day, St. Martin's, De La Salle, et al done better (actually, I know the answer, but...)?
