re: LHSAA Round 3 Dome Prediction

The plan, as I was told, was to bankrupt ECA. That they were living off of playing large schools with huge gates. So they wanted to stick them with small schools, that aren't even open now, to have small crowds/shut their doors. Also, they thought it would be less attractive to recruits to play in those small games instead of 5A. It hasn't worked like they planned, but it did in some form or fashion. They are a shell of what they were in the 90's/early 2000's.


Personally, I think it has more to do with Byrd being able to openly recruit as well as the emergence of Calvary.
