Heck, if I remember right they fought not to have the number of private school classes reduced. (really, the number of classes for both sides should have been reduced but the privates should have been reduced more to keep the same number of schools per class for each).

They fought that so a small 2A school with 240 kids didnt have to play a small 4A school with 500 kids. That wouldnt be safe or fair and the whole split was passed under the guise of "fairness".

The only issue (or the only one that was completely valid) was the 2A argument.

It really isn't right that Curtis, for example, is pulling in and training top talent from Jefferson, Orleans and Vicinity, and then playing against North Louisiana/one consolidated school for the parish/dirt poor public school whose entire parish population is smaller than Lafayette High School.

Winnfield's principal caught a lot of hate for that, but she's right. A school like Winnfield if they play in 2A has no chance. Kinder won 2 2A titles during the split era. If it goes back to the old ways, they'll lose 48-7 to Curtis in the quarters.
