Well he's gonna be real pissed when they vote to split all classes in all sports in 2 weeks. And it is going to happen.

It's either split in all, or they go to metro/rural.

This is not new, there were members of the Executive Committee that were very angry about the way everything happened before and after the split vote. Especially the way henderson ignore the Association Charter, Constitution and bylaws to push his agenda to a vote. Then the strong arm tactics used on the Class B and Class C schools to decide an issue on a sport they dont play was salt on the wound.

So this is actually not new, it just took a while for Bonine to be briefed on what happened, investigate the issue and hire an outside counsel to review the case. The lawyer the LHSAA hired to review everything and confirmed that the Constitution was not followed. So the shite will hit the fan at the winter meeting.

can someone explain to my why there was a split in the first place? Having a dozen state title games or whatever they have now is absurd. Having a 10 team "division" where everyone makes the playoffs is equally absurd.

He's been hinting at that for at least a week now. Maybe longer.

Thread from last week about Bonnie talking overturning the split

Funny thing is, if they would have decided way back that the move was against the LHSAA constitution, the principals would have probably just voted to change the constitution or put it through the Ex. committee and voted it in again.

Now, it looks like there will be at least a year back in the old system because I think Bonnie said last week that the rural/urban thing was a year away.

A great day for LA HS football.

I do think we were cheated out of some great postseason games the last two years, though.
