You went to a private school and played tennis so STFU
I’m also very good friends with the Nola family, and I can promise you they saved up and paid for both their boys to go to school as well…..
So hence I have pretty good knowledge on making fun of the idiots in this thread speaking of buying these state titles in sports like soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and tennis……
Also, having gone to a private school, the second I got in a public school district that was good that’s where I send my own children. So maybe if public schools simply got their schools to be respectable, they wouldn’t lose kids to schools that charge 10k plus to attend
It’s a very simple concept

in the end though who gives a frick if they recruit and give a full scholly....
1) even if they gave a full scholly, it cost the same as a public school. if the public schools would compete and be better there would be no need to go across town to attend a better school. Its not like any of the private schools are paying families to go there. Even with free tution...all that does is even the playing field with public schools
2) kids should have school choice, schools should compete for kids and state funds. Sorry to tell the baby boomers this....but you dont own kids just because they live in your district, we dont have independent school districts.
bottom line comes down to public schools not wanting to compete and not wanting to get better. All are happy with the status quo
and honestly its not just private schools that are being accused of this. West Monroe, Barbe and even some of the schools in ascension parish have been accused of this lately. All by people, mainly older adults, who dont want to get better and are just making excuses on why their team cant compete.
and honestly if schools like barbe, st amant, dutchtown etc are recruiting well they fricking suck at it cause they have other area teams with lots of players that could help them. Think Barbe wouldnt have liked to have Jake Brown starting for them this year? Think West Monroe suddenly is only recruiting baseball players while their football team has failed to win a state title lately? frick no, WM would much rather a Ship in football.
in the end this is dumb as hell though. Dont want kids to leave your school....invest in your academics, keep the school ultra discplined, invest in facilities and coaching through booster clubs.
Now...congrats Catholic...one hell of a year from a great school.

They swept Zachary in three games. They easily would’ve made it to Sulphur and probably would’ve been the favorite with the teams there this year.

Aww boohoo. Going to a catholic elementary school doesn’t entitle your son to more playing time. If that’s important to you, there are other good schools in the area that aren’t as competitive.

Every starter on the CHS baseball team went to a Catholic elementary school except for one who went to ULab.

Nah man, they are recruiting all these baseball, lacrosse, tennis and soccer players from the inner city playgrounds

but even if they wer....all it is doing is leveling the playing field with public schools. frick not like they are dropping bags of cash or something. they arent recruiting but people need to stop acting like they own kids because they live in a certain school zone. its fricking stupid.
public schools, dont want to lose your kids......get fricking better in academics, facilities and sports!!!

Catholic has always been very good/great at the olympic type sports. Football, baseball, and basketball didn’t win anything before the split happened,

They beat Laffy for the title in 2010 and beat Zachary for the title in 2013

Catholic beat Zachary for the 2013 5A baseball championship. In 2010 they beat Lafayette.
In 2015, they upset Rummel for the football championship - the best team in the state, nationally ranked. In 2017, they beat the 5A champ H2H. In 2020, they beat the 5A champ H2H.
But I’m willing to hear your argument that they only win because of the quit.
Posted on 5/17/22 at 9:28 am to lsu711
Since the split, Catholic and Zachary have been by far the best teams in the state. And neither won much before the split happened. So, did the split magicallly make these two teams better? Or, did their upswing just coincide with said split?
It’s clearly the latter, considering one is private and one is public but simple minded MSB posters don’t want to recognize Zachary’s rise also follows the split….

Ok so baseball broke through and won before the split but football winning is absolutely due to the split.
2015 they beat a private school, like they always do. North LA public schools were always their kryptonite in the playoffs even if Catholic was dominant the entire season. 2017& 2020 are after the split and don’t count anyway.

No football state titles before the split despite having multiple undefeated regular seasons and national rankings. A long history of losing to public schools in the playoffs. Split happens and they magically start winning state championships. Its not that hard to understand

And explain the downfall of WM. Guess the split made them worse? Same with Evangel, a private school. Split made it harder on then too…
The two above were Catholics “ nemesis”. They both simply got worse

And neither have had to deal with the other in the playoffs have they? The split made the playoffs much easier for the good teams. Specifically Catholic and Zachary.

In your universe, the best public school over the last 8 years and best private school over the last 8 years would have zero titles if the split didn’t happen
See how that logic has some little holes in it?

Maybe but there is no way of actually knowing that because of the watered down split playoffs
