re: Any news on LHSAA split?

They like sending 4 teams to their respective baseball and basketball state tournaments and getting their games on TV however...

Just curious, what's the negative of B&C combining? Do you realize how far some of these rural schools are traveling for district games?

what they should do is change back one class at a time... i really only care if 5A is together.

honestly i'm not sure what is the need for B... those schools are the same size as 1A. does having football vs. not having football make such a big difference in the rest of an athletic program?

Any plan that has one rule for regular season and another for playoffs is very stupid.

Either split or don't split. All games, all sports.

Thanks I had not seen a date set. Will be interesting. I'm predicting no changes will be approved.

But they are voting on combining B/C in June correct??

There is no reason for B and C. None. We don't need two different non football small classes.

Maybe it made sense years ago.

I don't get this. What benefit will be gained by combining B and C?? None, it does not make any sense. There is nothing to fix here. Class B was formed in 1939 and Class C was formed in 1949. It does not hurt anything to have small schools compete against each other in sports in B and C. Both Class B and Class C have their own history in Louisiana. Karl Malone played at a Class C school. Greg Procell played at a Class C school. Procell was the leading all-time scorer in high school basketball in the United States. He scored 6,702 points in his high school career not including his 8th grade stats. He scored over 100 points in one game. His senior year Procell averaged 47.6 points per game against the big schools. He had 57 in a 104-91 victory over defending Class AAA state champion Woodlawn (Shreveport) as the Rebels defeated defending state champs in three of the four higher classes – Woodlawn, Haughton in Class A and Florien in Class B.

I want to see both teams on the field with their fans there, and then Norman Booker or Jane Griffin run onto the field and cause a scene and be like "NOOOO! YOU WILL NOT PLAY!"

I promise you, neither of those people give any more of a shite about who some school in NOLA plays in the regular season than you do about who a rural school in North Louisiana plays.

Zero chance that only 10% of schools make the playoffs. Why would they throw all of that revenue away? You think they will go from pretty much everyone making the playoffs to 10%? That will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER HAPPEN.

Ever
