re: 2025 LHSAA Semifinals

Also a lot more Catholics in South Louisiana. When I was a kid in the 70's Shreveport had Jesuit, Monroe had St.Fredrick and Natchitoches had St. Mary's. The only non-parochial private schools in NELA were River Oaks, another private in West Monroe that I can't remember the name of, and Cedar Creek in Ruston. Back then I think they all played each other but I don't remember them playing the public schools.

Now we've got Christian Schools, that want to be great at sports, all over the state.

you left out many of the LISA schools - baptist christian(shreve), Bossier academy, calvary, claiborne academy, First Baptist acad, Franklin acad, glenbrook, Grawood, Monroe christian, Natchitcoches acad, plain dealing prairie vie, ridgedale, RIver field, river oaks, Sam Crow, Shreve Christian, Southland Acad, Tensa and Tallulah acads, WInn Academy, Trinity Christian... all in north la. I am sure I am missing some.

Ridgedale had some really good teams.

I was interested enough to drive by the area on my way back from Arkansas in quest of a Hooten's magazine.
