The rules didn't allow him to only play all the way up in football until now. From what I understand he considered girls teams and other boys teams in deciding whether to play up to 4A or 5A. Additionally, the Catholic League wasn't letting Curtis in to their district. The Jefferson Parish public schools would not have allowed Curtis either. Curtis still would have had to play the Fortiers and Warren Eastons of NOLA public schools. It didn't really make a lot of difference between that and Carver and OP Walker.


You understand it, but everyone else on this board wanted JT to throw the rest of his schools teams under the bus like Evangel did a few years ago.

What got us to where we are now was talk of JC playing 5a in football and down in others...

That's what started play in class

Being able to play up at all was shot down repeatedly until post Katrina enrollments eviscerated the catholic league and play up was needed to restore it.


What got us to the rule now allowing football only is e fear of an all out split...and what the real cause is...they would look like hypocrites now.


As for not having hold backs.....every team that won state last year had some key voluntary hold backs....
