As long as you move before high school it doesn’t matter.

Freshmen who live in Jennings and Sulphur playing big roles in the non-select championship game for a school in Moss Bluff.
ETA…I do not have a problem at all with parents sending their kids where they think is best. My problem is schools like this still being in non-select.
Also ETA…I’m fairly certain Live Oak has similar kids.
My main issue is the entire select/non-select joke of a system.
you understand it goes by overall % right?
and where is the line?
what if a kid has been out of zoned since elementary because they live in a bad school district for high school? example i know kids that are zoned for Lagrange or washington marion high school in LC but zoned for SJ welsh middle, should they be forced to go to LG as white kids?
what about gifted kids....should they be punished because certain schools like barbe offer gifted classes and others dont?
the kid from jennings and sulphur....for him to be eligible as freshman his parents either legit moved to moss bluff or they sent him through moss bluff in middle school
same issue last year with lawton littleton....people got all pissed because he grew up in sulphur but parents moved to Lake charles.
live oak is similar as is the north shore schools.....people move around in those areas. Same with AP schools.
like wtf are people not allowed to move now? do the cities where the kid is born and go to elementary school suddenly own the kid?
its fine to get mad about them being non select but people moving into the district for what ever reason....that means they are non select
and what about the school board rigging the district to try and grab certain high $$ neighborhoods to try and force kids to low performing schools? because that is very very common.

Yep even at Barbe, Wanna explain littleton living in sulphur? Didnt think so. Quit whining.
first off congrats on the ship, prolly best run in LHSAA history with who yall played
but littleton and his family legit moved to LC. cost his family a lot of money to do so. sulphur people literally called lhsaa and had them inspected no less than half a dozen times. it was legit move by the rules. people are allowed to do that
same with your kids, it was legit. all the fricks on here can get mad if they want, i dont care but you are not being who those kids are without the move being legit. I dont care where those kids grew up, the town they grew up in doesnt own the parents and dont own the kids talent, frick those jealous fricks.
enjoy the championship, you are about to have haters out the arse, about to see exactly what barbe and west monroe have been putting up with.
now ill be the first to say, those kids prolly did legit move from baseball but who cares. Sam Houston is a much better school than jennings, much better coaching, much better facilities. and here is what non baseball people do not understand....those kids they are talking about....they grew up playing with the SH kids...that is all their freinds. That is who they grew up with, who cares where they went to HS. so the families moved....i can promise those kids have had lhsaa at their house more than once and that is only way to be eligible as a freshman is legit move or go to a feeder school. littleton might have went to middle school in sulphur but he grew up mainly with LC people and wanted to go to barbe so his family legit moved for the required time. I dunno if they moved back to sulphur or not but i do know they legit moved.
people on here get so pissed off when people move. I know plenty of non sports people not from moss bluff that have moved there. its a good place to live. known plenty of people from smaller towns that have moved to SLC too. plenty of people i know moved to the AP. Are people now not allowed to move just because they have a kid good at sports?
there shouldnt be select, non select imo. not in div 1 or should create a super div or something. but yall have got to quit the bitching every time a kid moves or out of zones and sits the required year. If you live in LC, you have 3 choices really....Barbe, Sam Houston or St Louis. If you are have any way to prevent it...you are not sending your kid to Lagrange, Washington Marion or LC prep, fricking nuts to do that.

I didn’t think the Jennings kids actually moved, though.
If people actually up and move their family to a different school district and they pay for it themselves, there isn’t much to say from a rules perspective.
But, have you ever been part of one of these smaller communities that takes pride in its high school athletics?
A town like Jennings gets a lot of mileage out of a good year, a special athlete, etc. They’ll be talking about the Etiennes for fifty years.
To see the best athletes from the town leaving, thumbing their nose at the town in favor of maximizing their individual experience, is obviously not going to sit well with people.

That’s not as bad as a kid getting thrown out trying to steal third late in the game with two outs and needing a run.

yes he did. You dont understand the rules, you legit have two choices to be eligible as freshman
1) go to the feeder school in 8th grade
2) move to the zone and be prepared to have your house searched to make sure you actually moved. LHSAA will legit send people at random times to inspect the new house and the old to make sure you are not lying. You must either put old house up for sale or rent it out.
only way is possible. do you really think a kid of that caliber moving schools like that is not going to draw attention? Just because the parents still own the dealership doesnt mean he didnt legit move or go to middle school there. I dunno which one it was, but it was one of them, i can promise that.

yea i grew up in one, who cares? they still have a sub par school and sub par facilities comparatively. Have you ever been to jennings? would you really want your kids going to school there when there are other options?
How is it the athletes fault that people in that community only want to invest in the school and athletics when they have a special athlete?
lets put it this away
-sam houston as a school academically >>>>> jennings
-sam houston as a school socially/demographically/$$ wise >>>>>>>>>>>> jennings
baseball facility wise.... SH>>>>Jennings
baseball caoching wise...SH>>>>>>> Jennings
baseball program as far as exposure, weight lifting, ability to get a scholarship SH >>>>> jennings
Beau Hearod is Jennigns royality when it comes to baseball....what did that do to help the program? jennings is a football town, plain and simple, they dont care about baseball.

who gives a frick about those people? those people could have done something about it a long time ago but instead chose to have a slave owner mentality of they own the talent of that athlete because he was born here and how dare he try to improve his situation and leave us behind
bottomline is the community there doesnt care about baseball, they dont invest in it because demographically most there dont play or care about the sport. wanted kids like that to stay, should have built amazing facilities, should have built bas arse baseball only weight room, batting cages, indoor mounds etc, should have hired coaching that knows how to run a legit year around program that puts kids in the college ranks year after year after year
barbe, WM and SH and im sure live oak too along with some others routinely have kids that sit the bench that get scholarships...why the coach make it a priority to get them one. Jennings and other schools like it, lucky if the best starter gets a juco offer....why? year after year we see this...are the non starters at these bigger schools suddenly better because they may live across the parish or does practicing and competing against the best daily along with a coaching staff that cares make it more likely to go play next level?
and if you are a parent and your kid wanted to move to one of those schools...would you not do what you could to help him? I understand the small town pride...but that isnt helping your kid. its tradition for the sake of tradition and it holds people back. same mindset of some.....that say...my grandpa was born here so im never leaving no matter what.

Most people aren’t. That’s why they’re smaller communities.
It’s frustrating to see a lot of inferior teams get to go to state tournaments when you’re a bigger school who’s been competitive but hasn’t gotten there, knowing you could beat a lot of them there

Must have been middle school because the parents live in Jennings.

ok well then what is the problem?
LHSAA took away the feeder schools for a year because everyone was pissed off at catholic for having 78 feeder schools(sarcasm) but everyone figured out real quick that hurts tons and tons of other schools too so they changed it back quickly after only 1 year
so again....why is this an issue and is it only an issue because they are winning? because that seems to be the only time its an issue...if the kid is good and the school he went to is winning.
Im good with going to a super division for baseball, i want my kid to play against the best and to learn to compete against them.

here is my thinking...the etiennes did what for the overall program at jennings? they went 9-4 last year.
they had one of the best coaches in the state for 30 years and had a state runnerup to show for it. They have 1 ship in the last 40 years......so what did that do for them?
what did beau hearod do for the jennings baseball program? did they build on him and suddenly build all these amazing facilities and start stacking even district championships?
i mean south beau and st louis were both 2a when Beau was at jennings yet they have moved up and have stacked district championships hand over fist since then in the same district as jennings and both have 3-4x as many trips to sulphur since they have moved to jennings district
so what mileage would jennings get out of having 1-2 good players and having a good year? they have had that in the past and have done nothing with it.

im bored as nobody is at work this week and the whole restricting movement is a pet peeve of mine. Louisiana people are the worst about it too. Its the whole How dare you leave me behind mindset.

You have read me all wrong.
I do not for the least bit fault people for sending their kids wherever is best for them, regardless of where they live.
My entire ire here is with the system.
If it is indeed a free for all and anybody can go anywhere, why do we have select and non-select?
And percentage means nothing with “traditional public schools”, only with magnets or charters.
Barbe has had over 25% out of zone students for quite some time.

well then we agree. i hate the select non select. it irks the frick out of me that MANY can take kids from all over the parish because they are the only football school, pull from a pool of kids the size of sulphur and then remain 2a non select.
i played when everything was together and prefer that away.

I’d love to see a percentage of kids who move vs the percentage of kids who move and also play baseball/football at schools like the aforementioned Barbe, Sam Houston, WM, etc…
I’m interested in seeing that

Back around the time Cam Robinson moved to WM the local paper did an article on the subject. WM had 252 kids move in that year. 3 played sports, Cam and 2 girls that played softball and basketball. It's common to see kids go to one feeder then go to a different HS in the area. I laugh every time I see how many kids went to West Ridge-WM feeder-then play for 3-4 other public schools in the area, yet no one bats an eye.

people only care when the kid is good at sports because for some reason they feel like they own the kids talents.

I guess it also only matters if the kid will immediately start playing for a varsity squad his freshman year? I assume LHSAA isn't making any inspections over a 14 year old contributing on the JV squad.
