if you're the schools you mentioned and you're losing gates from SCC and Riverside, how do you not suffer?
To be honest, the school from my town (Lutcher) hasn't played either Riverside or St. Charles in a regular season football game in ages. I don't know that we've ever played Riverside actually. St. Charles we used to play when we were in the same district. And the program seems to be doing fine. (I've heard that the Lutcher Quarterback Club was the most successful in the State and beyond but I have no proof of that
) I don't know if Destrehan, Hahnville, etc. ever play those schools either.
Again, I'm not necessarily pro split. But a lot of the more strident things I hear against it seem to be of the "we're gonna take our ball and leave and you'll be sorry because you can't afford your own ball" variety. Seems like threats being made out spite rather than a business decision. Which, if its in their best interest to go, I would think they'd have gone before now.

IMHO they cant. Can I prove it? Of course I cant. But when the privates threatened to leave the Publics when the full sport split was mentioned, the Publics wiped that idea off the table with the quickness
Which, if its in their best interest to go, I would think they'd have gone before now.

Hahnville played Riverside this season for the only time that I can remember. I don't recall ever playing St Charles. We played Lutcher a couple times a few years back and have only met St James in a jamboree (that I can remember). But Hahnville and Destrehan don't rely on gates from any opponents for funding. Any large visiting crowds we get are a bonus.
BUT, I hate the split and really want to see this sorted out whether via a multiplier, forced placement into higher classes or other means. I get the argument from some of the tiny 2A schools....but 4A & 5A schools really shouldn't be complaining too much.
