I’m a homer, but the Texas format
Texas has 245 football schools in their highest division.
Louisiana has 63 and it’s divided into two.

but the Texas format is so much better where neighboring districts play in round 1, and you play until there’s a region champ before going to the state semis and final.
Louisiana used to have that, but Shreveport got tired of losing to Monroe every year… no one in LA really wants to go back to those old days…
Y’all should look into our system… it would make every game count. The teams in Texas who are in small districts have a ton of meaningless games. Just do it by region because I know y’all are a big state.

And they split the larger and smaller schools to form two playoff brackets of 64.
That is for each class, 6A down to 1A.

70 schools proposed for 5A in Louisiana for next realignment. 32 make the playoffs.
At the end of the day, Texas UIL will crown 12 state champs and LHSAA will crown 10? I already think Texas crowns too many, but 10 for a state the size of LA seems kind of crazy.

That was the way we understood it, oh so long ago, when I was in h.s. Our small, Catholic school in New Orleans used the church parish boundaries as our attendance zone. If a guy lived in the parish, he was eligible to play in his first year at school.
The attendance zone for a private school is the same as the public school in their area - it's been that way since at least 1980.

This is not 100% accurate, for example any kid going to a Catholic school is considered to be a feeder school for the Catholic High Schools, so they do not have to sit out. Just clarifying that part.
Also, all public schools do not play by the same rules. For example Rapides parish is open enrollment, so there are no zones. Kids are eligible at the first HS they attend. (assuming they did not play Varsity as a 7th or 8th grader somewhere)
Could you point me to the spot in the handbook about "feeder schools"? I'm not saying it's not there, but I don't see it.
There are places where the entire parish is an attendance zone, but that still constitutes an attendance zone.

Private schools have attendance zones just like public schools
Also..not sure about other parishes since all the school boards are different...but in EBR private schools do not have their own zones..they simply share whatever public school zone they are in. So for example CHS is in McKinley's zone.. ..one of the lines for McKinley and Tara is Acadian Thruway...so anyone literally a tenth of a mile from CHS on the East side of Acadian is out of zone for CHS ..but in zone for Dunham and Episcopal since Tara's zone is basically a star

Interesting, thanks.
So for example in New Orleans, if you were to go to one of the Catholic high schools, any one of the Catholic grammar schools would count?

Very good question.

Yeah, the public school coaches argue, but the Catholic schools give scholarships. This is a myth. Most of the Catholic schools operate on a need-based system. You turn over your financial records, and they decide how much your tuition is going to be.
Ironically it works out that the most needy are also the best athletes.

Public school lines are fricked in BR, especially if you were in a small neighborhood.
The neighborhood I grew up in was rezoned every 2 years because we became a fill-in for white kids needed somewhere, so I would have been zoned for Lee, Tara, or McKinley depending on the year if I hadn’t been continuously at the same private school.

The same school system exception applies to public schools as well. For instance, a kid that goes to any EBR middle school is immediately eligible at any EBR high school.

Basically, there is Class VA, and then there is everyone else..........
