Do you realize that simply "starting more private schools" would dilute the talent on both sides of this? IF there were a call amongst the people of Louisiana, and demand for more private schools they would open them. But those students would have to come from somewhere, there are only a finite number of school-aged persons in the state of Louisiana in any given year. Your public schools would lose students, too.
I get what you are saying, but to start a school that would be large enough to be able to compete week in and week out with the other private school programs (state champion level) take a lot of money so you would only have a school here and there get started over a long period of time.

That's right, especially if it is a private school, how do you draw those kinds of numbers that you are inferring, from the very outset? I would think, too, that it would take four to six years, since it is unlikely that juniors and seniors would transfer out of where they are to attend this new private school which is opened simply to expand the select-school side of the LHSAA.
Most new schools, select or not, usually open with only the lowest grade, or two lowest grades, and simply add by advancement...frosh becoming sophomores and so on.
That new school that was on the game of the week a couple weeks ago, were just now getting into LHSAA competition. Lafayette area, black helmets. This would not solve the problems we have, now, keeping the association together.
