Curtis getting a bye after how they rolled through district, is completely irrelevant.
Instead of being four score better they will be 5.
Back before wildcards when random teams got byes they didnt always help
And to my knowledge no private school voted for the split

I don't see the problem. If a school wants to skip the post season, why can't they?
Brackets were made assuming x number of teams
Some schools can lose money on playoff games

That's b/c they never played for District honors and played independent schedules. Not the same as Lusher, Ecole, Ridgewood, etc....

If they want to, that's their choice. With that comes the following:
1 - none of your players eligible for district or state honors
2 - you must repay any money lost to the opposing team - e.g. - Evangel's gate vs. Lusher
3 - they should be removed from district play for 2 years
4 - Forever be referred to as poon-tangs

Are you sure they pulled out before or after the brackets were made? I can understand if they pulled out after the bracket is made, that is bullshite. But if they pulled out before, I don't see the issue.

bracket format was made when division was created....
I talked to a Lusher parent last night - apparently he was in the minority wanting to play... of course he also had not clue what his kid would be up against.

Still, I don't think if they pulled out before the bracket was made it makes a big deal. All first/second round games in D2 seem to be good geographic matchups anyway.
IMO, the system is so stupid anyway, it almost doesn't matter. This is the type of crap that happens when you let anybody in. If the blame is anywhere, it is with the LHSAA.

agree....
but why wait till you see your matchup to bale out...

I don't think any matchups are bailing in D2. I'd be more worried about the smaller divisions, but aren't they mostly the ones who voted for the split?
I really think the damage done is irreconcilable and there will be a real split in a year or two. North LA privates may stay with the LHSAA, but I don't see the southern schools getting anything but the shaft.

lusher bailed in d2...
NO private school voted for split...
the rift is indeed growing wider and wider....

Don't think Parkway or Barbe will make it to the 5A finals - not because they aren't good enough, but due to both having the toughest path to get there. Barbe is looking at Ouachita, Acadiana, & Destrehan in consecutive weeks & Parkway is looking at traveling for 4 consecutive weeks. Just don't like either teams odds to pull that off.

I meant I don't see any of the ones in the bracket bailing. Also, I don't think anyone has confirmed that Lusher bailed after the bracket was made. Therefore, even though it was juvenilistic, didn't affect the makeup of the bracket because it looks pretty solid from a matchup and geography standpoint.
I can tell you from having friends at various Catholic league schools and other private schools, they certainly don't like former North LA public school admins pushing around the south LA private schools and either it will be reconciled to the way it was before or there is no point in playing in the LHSAA. Why split revenue for games against public, in-district teams who you aren't even allowed to play in the post season? They get a free ride. Sure, North LA will be fine with a split since most that part of the state is public, but the South LA publics will be hurt because the best officials, admins, etc., will choose to work with the privates, not the publics. I mean, who wants to get arrested working public football games?

5a non select top to bottom may be toughest class.. as it should be..

Why no bitching about Haynes in Division III? They were seeded 13th out of 15 teams and are skipping the playoffs. The result is that Episcopal and Calvary Baptist get a bye in Division III.
While I don't believe it is the fault of either school, Calvary and JC getting unforeseen byes will not help the LHSAA one bit.

The LHSAA is the biggest cluckfrick state association. Typical LA political bs. Their greed will leave them a fractured state system in a couple years.
But, on the bright side, I've been saying for years that with the commercialization of high school sports, trans-state associations may start popping up, or at least teams may not worry as much about being state champion but rather a tournament champion in the non-football sports.
As far as football, look at what Eastern Christian is doing. They are trying to find ways around the system, and it won't be long before other schools say screw the state associations. LA could end up like Texas too, with 4-5 associations in the state, even though we barely have the numbers for the 3 currently (LHSAA, ACE, and the schools that compete in the MAIS).

And how is Central, BR an 11 seed behind a team they beat 35-0(Zachary)
Because Central's non-district schedule was Jesuit and 3 byes. And they lost to Jesuit. Blame your coach and/or AD for that one. Istrouma and Morgan City--are you serious? Morgan City was 0-10 in the HOUMA DISTRICT. You know how bad you have to be to be to not beat a team from Houma?
