The new rule declares all 9th graders, regardless of how long they’ve been enrolled, are ineligible to compete at any level if they live out of attendance zone. And it’s not just select schools....A kid that goes to a K-12 school his whole life is still ineligible his freshman year.

Sorry for the double post, not sure what my phone is doing! Is that actually how the rule is intended? I don’t understand that at all. I understand the idea behind new freshman, because they want to prevent recruiting and therefore want to make a kid think twice if he’s only choosing a school because of athletics. But punishing a kid who has been there all along? What if you lived in the attendance zone when you first started the school and then your parents moved? This makes no sense?

because a large faction think parents choose schools because of sports when in reality that is the vast vast minority...

It really comes down to North versus South Louisiana. North Louisiana principals’ perception of private schools in the South is that they are all Evangel.
