LHSAA Convention... Major votes pushed to a special June meeting
Posted on 1/24/23 at 4:25 pm

From Geauxpreps
Basically the principals now have to ratify the changes the Executive Committee made last summer in the interest of fairness and competition, which brought us from 9 football state championships to 8 and made the football playoff brackets more interesting again
Some skeptics thought the changes, which nearly evened the number of select and nonselect schools, were a step toward ultimately ending the select/nonselect split, which is now a decade old. But that isn't likely to happen.

On the side of the splitters, Anacoco's principal appears to have taken the lead from Many and Winnfield before them

Now, principals want to take something that has shown to be a much better alternative for the student-athletes and again, the public school principals are pushing to go back to 50 teams with losing records, margins of victory so large a mercy rule had to be implemented, and 0, 1, & 2 win teams being rewarded with a trip to the playoffs. You think these same principals would allow a senior to graduate if they had the same success rate as their fooball team?.
Their true colors are about to shine.

Yes. Otherwise their numbers look bad.

Just make a separate organization for the anti-splitters. Sick of this shite

How much is Anacoco affected? They don’t even have football.

This article explains things further… there’s a bad feeling that the principals are going to vote down the new divisions and have things revert to the previous format… it seems like everything has been done since the split with the purpose to have as many teams in the state playoffs as possible across all classes

This thing has made some strange groups of allies.
Four general camps, in order of who likes the new system best:
1. Non-selects who stayed non-select
2. Always been selects who now have more potential playoff opponents
3. Non-selects who now feel they are being forced to “play up”
4. Non-selects who got moved to select

That makes it easier on the principals. Unless their athletic department is a complete dumpster fire, then their teams frequently qualify for the playoffs.

I imagine the JP public schools are probably pissed… but they didn’t have to make an open enrollment policy
Especially Grand Isle with the most useless open enrollment policy ever (with that being said, they probably don’t care that they’re in select, as long as they get to play a few games and have fun)

So essentially the same old bullshite from the principles. They try and make it fair and people still bitch, not to mention a 7 point list that essentially says
frick you parents, as principals we own the kids in our district…..how fricking dare you move your kid to a better school!!!!
Why don’t they just come out say…I’m a fat pussy who is unwilling to compete and make my school better both in academics and athletics and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna just allow you to seek better alternatives without some kind of punishment!!!

That’s disappointing, I really liked the alternative they enforced last spring

I’m of the understanding that all of the main football things are being tabled until summer
Posted on 1/27/23 at 5:35 am to chalmetteowl
Sounds to me that the principals want as many teams in the playoffs as possible because it is an additional gameday check. Results be damned
Why am I pro-split? I do not feel there is even access to regional talent. All schools should be allowed to recruit talent to their schools. The fact that selects can go outside their attendance zones and poach great athletes yet non-selects are shut out is not fair. I understand non-selects recruit today but they are hampered by having to ask a family to move their home into an attendance zone
Allow both sides to go after the best kids without thought of attendance zones.

Maybe instead of sitting out one year, kids that fit that description and don’t live in the same parish as a select school should have to sit out until they’re seniors… maybe even JV too. Let’s see who’s really going to get their education.

8 always been selects will vote for it, 7 non selects that stayed their same class division will vote for it, split 2-2 vote by non selects that had to play up, new selects vote split 3-3. so with this sampling - it passes - the big gripe from some is that this should have been done before schedules were made.
