re: LHSAA Football Playoff Brackets

5. Years ago our high school athletic association split the playoffs between essentially private and public schools.

9 years ago now and what we have now is what we should have had 9 years ago.

a 4-5-1 team once won state in the highest classification...

We don’t have the hardware like other places do, but there’s a lot of good football in plaquemines. The coach at BC is awful right now he’s wasting a championship caliber defense with a prehistoric offense and a mediocre QB

River Oaks?

St. Amant game will be over quick. It’s going to be hard to watch.

Arch Manning and Newman literally loss to St Charles Catholic Friday night and Newman is the 1 seed and SCC the 2. Haha. Good LHSAA and the Manning name getting it done

Tell me you have no idea how power rankings work without telling me you have no idea how power rankings work.

Proud uncle checking in to say that my nephew who plays for Benton made a pick in the endzone and ran it back about 50 yards vs Parkway Friday. That was a great game.

Also, best high school halftime show ever was just watching Parkways FG Kicker practice. Dude made a 70 yarder. Wind was at his back but it was good for quite a bit more. He moved back and was about to try a 75 yarder but the ref walked up and stopped him. Not a running kickoff, just a two step. It was pretty impressive

Honestly I have not followed high school football worth much in about 10 years. The split had me completely disinterested, so God if I know what they still used compared to when I was in high school almost 20 years ago.

I know back then I cannot remember us getting a higher seed than our district champ and we played solid schedules. Both teams are from the same area and same district. It should not really be that far apart to override head to head and district champ. But I put nothing past the LHSAA ever since they ruined the sport with the split. They even managed to ruin the other sports now.

I mean did SCC not play Shaw, Lutcher, Tuerlings, De La Salle, and Vanderbilt out of district. That seems solid.

Newman played Hahnville, Belle Chasse, Pearl River, and Benton with two good lower class teams in Many and Riverside.

Seems pretty even scheduling to me from a birdseye view without digging into whatever numbers you diehards might have available to override a head-to-head win and district title between the to teams. Not that it will matter.

It’s math. Strictly math. Win = 10+ 1 point for every win that team has. If you play a larger team, 2 points per class you play up. Lose and all you get are the win total of the team that beat you.

Supposedly there are enough votes to get it back the way it used to be come January. Combined.

The only titles that count.

That comes from having gone to STM that has benefitted TREMENDOUSLY from the split.
