re: Empty threats from select schools to leave LHSAA

this is really about two schools and rather than attack them, they attacked them all, some very undeservingly so.

one thing is that Curtis and ECA need to be allowed/move up even if it is just for football.

I'd agree with this. In fact, I think it's mostly just about 1 school - Curtis. I don't think if it was only Evangel, you'd be seeing this. And I don't think most schools have a huge problem with other private or select schools. At least not to the extent that it would have led to the split.

Of course, saying "rather than attack them, they attacked them all" is not 100% correct IMHO. I've been watching this stuff from the sidelines (our school has not had to deal with either in their classification as far as I can recall) for years. And it seems to me they've been trying to alleviate this situation for years. But all utterly unsuccessfully. They've tried letting them move move up. They've tried making them stay down. Nothing has gained any traction.

And I always thought it was the big 5A schools, including the big 5A catholic schools that were against letting Curtis play up to 5A recently. Is that incorrect? (I know there was a time when teams could play all the way up and Evangel did it but Curtis only went to 4A.
