i was going to ask why but just looked it up. I know Chalmette has nice facilities is why i was going to ask. I keep up with Chalmette as my wife is from there originally & has family still in the area.

Because their daddy and granddaddy and uncle went to Holy Cross.

Holy Cross has a massive legacy expectation among some Chalmette families.

Chalmette is also a large school and some families don’t want that

Finally yes a little bit of white flight type stuff… don’t want the kids to go to school with “those” people

But let’s not lie, the Catholic League IS a draw for those schools… HC could and probably should have dropped to 4A, Curtis could always go back to 2A, and Karr almost got sent to the JP district, but they all wanted the Catholic League. Of course we’re at an attendance zone disadvantage*, but I think us getting blown away by Neville in football and WM in baseball opened everyone’s eyes. We’re not gonna get the kids we need to get past those points if we’re playing in weaker districts.

*we do have the no tuition and no admissions department/OneApp advantages. Just show up in the parish and you can play here

Sure

But there a lot of trouble families at these schools too

You want to provide the best you can but you can’t shelter kids forever. They need to learn the real world at some point

Central vs. St. Amant will be a good one this weekend.

It sucks when district teams line up first and second rounds:
Prairieville vs. Live Oak and winner gets Walker. I know it is based on power points but wished they would break those up sometimes.

Absolutely massive win probably the best in westlake history even counting the championship.

#2 seed is the highest in school history
