re: Louisiana High School Football will split Public/Private. **Edited with Yes/No**

I know several area highschool coaches, public for the most part, and they work just as hard if not harder as private school coaches

No offense, but I doubt they do. The private school coaches I am in the loop with put in over 50 hours a week, if not more like 60 of just dealing with the sports they coach, aside from their jobs. They love it though. I know several Catholic league coaches and private Christian school coaches who love it because they know outworking everyone else is the key.

And btw, the public schools have the better athletes, they are just lazy and the coaches won't teach them any lessons because they are afraid to lose them. I have firsthand knowledge of public school coaches who won't get on kids about grades (and the kids end up being ineligible) and I also know for a fact that at least one prominent local high school athlete was arrested during the week, yet was allowed to compete that weekend. The coaches are win at all costs in public schools, but the hype is that it is just the opposite.
