Defense does have a lot to replace especially in the front 7, but yeah coaching is great so I think they will figure it out. Offense does replace some OL which is huge but has most everything else back. I'd bet they put up some Playstation points next year lol

I felt Ruston D was reeling in the 3rd. I'll admit, I don't know much about Zachary but I do know now they have 2 beasts at WR. Ruston has a good secondary and had no answers in the 3rd Q. Then they tried to play vs the pass and Z started getting a run game going.
Ruston did what they've done all year though, 4th Q play their best football.

81 from Zachary made the best catch of the game, it didn't count but oh my that kid was impressive. Ahmad Hudson from Ruston will be as big as Green, kid doesn't look like a freshman that's for sure.
Lots of talent on display last night, only thing I regret is I wish Union had played the game before

Yeah because it’s totally fair for the Divison II runner up 3 years in a row to move down to 2a and play the likes of Lake Arthur and Welsh in district that’ll definitely help them compete……

They won't have any trouble in their district. Anyone that says Notre Dame would be competitive is delusional. They will have a ton of running clock games in the future. Even without Johnson, I believe they'll dominate 2A

So you’re going to deny that they’re using state funds to give “academic scholarships” to “kids living in poverty” that just so happen to be good in sports?

LCA offers hardship scholarships as does every private Protestant and Catholic school. I do not believe any of those are state-funded. I also know that LHSAA prohibits the behavior you are describing so it should be easy for them to prove and punish appropriately. If there is a program that the state offers that would allow someone to apply for funding to attend a private school, how is that an LCA issue (I do not know if that is or isn't something available)? If that does exist, are you saying no other private school has players who do that?

They were. Zachary got two crushing post play personal fouls that completely switched the complexion of the game and the momentum. Terrible discipline.
Ruston QB is a gamer. He reminds me of Lutcher’s QB from last year. I love a naked bootleg near the goal line. They dialed it up at the right time and iced the game.
There were also some big hits last night. Good season. Spring practice is only 4 months away.

My wife taught at LCA a few years ago. Our kids(non athletes) received partial tuition discount due to my wife being on staff. If I remember correctly, that's the same discount athletes receive.

from my experience in lafayette, catholic schools administer hardship tuition assistance based on the applicant’s tax return and financial info provided by the applicant to the school admissions office and to the diocese tuition assistance office
the review process for eligibility is managed by the diocese office, not a principal or teacher or a coach at the school
the money for tuition assistance comes from the diocese to the school to fill out the budget. Each student slot tuition is accounted for in the school budget and revenue.
now obviously a faculty member can advocate for a kid with the Diocese, but that is about it. The priests and review staffers are hyper aware of favoritism, bias, and potential manipulation of the process
Shaw got in trouble for administering tuition assistance at the school level with coaches and faculty members administering the program. Priests around the state saw that and the church leadership tightened up the process statewide
so catholic school athletic coaches giving “scholarships” to athletes is horseshite. if anything a catholic coach will go to a wealthy booster and ask for a helping hand for an athlete. I never saw that first hand, but there are always stories floating around.
the other religious schools I have no knowledge of how they operate. it would be far easier for a church owned school to cheat with athletic scholarships because the school budget is part of the church budget. So balancing the school budget and accounting for the missing tuition money from a student slot filled by a non-payer is an internal accounting thing. At a Catholic school, the school revenue and budget is separate from the Church and Diocese budgets.

The LHSAA requires all schools using tuition assistance to allocate that money through a verified of third-party company (like FACTS) and audits it once a year.
The whole “they have boosters giving scholarships” is non-sense. And if that happens, it’s a major violation.
Parents, especially those with talented athletes, are going to seek out programs that can advance their kids. That’s the bottom line and uncomfortable truth for many places.

right, the point is every student slot has a revenue expectation assigned to the slot in the budget. so giving away slots creates holes in the budget
this website is a great reminder that a person can be smart but people are stupid.

I brought it up a few weeks ago in a playoff thread but I am curious to see if unfettered school choice gets passed. If it was ever going to get passed, now would be the time. I can’t imagine that the private schools will do anything but get much better in sports.

the sad thing about it is Central and Zachary showed the way and the rest of the state continues to ignore their success

Just look beyond our state borders, Texas ISDs put our public schools to shame athletically, academically, etc. Same thing in Alabama.
