re: The split is here to stay-deal with it

Radio personality Matt Moscona always says something to the effect of: "If only two schools are the primary problem, then why punish all the rest of them--why not just resolve the issues concerning those two schools?" I assume that "those two schools" that he is talking about are Curtis and Evangel, since they go to the title game literally every season (18 straight now and counting for Curtis!). The LHSAA has made just about every rule possible to restrict Evangel and Curtis, yet they still win, but they also run pretty clean programs--Curtis is never put on probation, and Evangel hasn't had many problems with the LHSAA either (I vaguely recall some accusations that some Texan players were trying to move to Shreveport to attend Evangel, but that's it). What more can be done than split the schools? That's all that can be done at this point.

The only reformation that can truly be done now is to add some North Louisiana public schools to the "select" divisions. There are several parishes in North Louisiana that have one high school designated as a football school, and students at the non-football high schools in those parishes can transfer to the football school (even if they live out of district) solely to play football. It seems like all of the parish's football talent is reserved for that one school. Doesn't that make that school a "select" school by default?
