Yes they are eligible if the other school offers a program the home zone doesnt
many schools offer what they call "AP" classes when they are anything but
or they have an offsite district wide location where kids can go for those classes only.
let me ask those that know more....
if a school is rated a "D" school and is 95% black, can a white kid go to an "A" school that is in the neighboring zone? same city.

man,
I don't want to call you obtuse, but your entire argument on this is very naive.
Let schools compete, let the kids go where ever they want.
And anyone who complains is a commie.
the reality is that decisions at this scale can't just be about the 3% of kids your are talking about.
The vast, vast, vast majority of kids playing High school sports aren't on the level of kids you are talking about. But those 97% of the kids are the foundation of high school sports. For every one Treydez Green at Zachary there are 25,000 other kids in all sports that create the very ability to even have high school sports. And they deserve every right to have a competitive playing field when they step out on the the competition field or court. no one wants 20 super schools dominating every sport.
Most kids aren't desirable enough to have the "elite" schools you are talking about start looking into them. Or accept them. And even if they did, those schools only have so many places available. So what do you do?
There is nothing stopping a group of private and charter schools, maybe even some large public schools along with parents and lawyers, from pulling out of the LHSAA and creating their own super league of schools where the LHSAA has no say and those "jackass principals" that vote for these rules won't have a say.
Do you know why they don't do it? Because those very people, the moment their Super league was announced, would implement the very same rules that the LHSAA has to keep the playing field level.
Because keeping the playing field level in some way, even if only perceived, is necessary. Or the whole thing falls apart.
You can't just put the needs of the 3% above everyone elses.

im not the one that is obtuse....or the one that is naive, I promise.
but keep on keeping on and you will see the death of basketball and baseball at the high school level within next 15 years.
and again...alot of it has to do with academics.
why do you care where someone sends their kid? forget the transfer rule
why shouldnt I be able to send the kid to the school I believe is best for them? Not the state, me as the parent. The state has never even met my kid.
its real simple though, dont want kids to leave your school, get your booster clubs to raise money for better facilities, demand more discipline in the school from the admin and demand better teachers.
other states can do it, but little ole Louisiana is special....we cant do it.

So these kids would of had to have a legitimate address move into that district, correct?

yes or they could just not be playing varsity or there could be a special program the new school offers that the old didnt. This is how Sam Houston gets some kids from Lake Charles without them moving into the district.
Posted on 11/13/25 at 4:45 pm to lsu777
So that “different program” thing is for real?
These are all varsity starters lol.
Or does is just depend on who is buddy buddy with Karen Hoyt at LHSAA..?

Eddie is a moron and a snake. The publics made their will known over 10 years ago and he has spent his entire time trying to subvert the majority vote.

We all know you are a Barbe guy, but you try to point out how Sam Houston gets a few kids.
Just admit it, you love Barbe baseball and you love that they have done the best job of recruiting baseball players to their high school for over 25 years now.
And to respond to some of your previous posts, do you call the Pittsburgh Pirates communist because they have Paul Skenes trapped in Pittsburgh like they own him. Are the Cincinnati Bengals communist because they own Joe Burrow?
It’s called competitive balance.

a kid in my neighborhood went to another school because neither the public nor private in his home zone had wrestling. He was immediately eligible.
Kids all over livingston do it as well.

Kid in our neighborhood in Central goes to Live Oak, not sure how much investigating the LHSAA does concerning out of district athletes.

Why do grown men give a frick where a kid wants to attend and play? Really boggles my mind

I just want everyone to play by the same set of rules. Transfer once? Fine but don’t set this standard and then immediately start making exceptions to something else.
Posted on 11/13/25 at 9:31 pm to lsu777
What about those that don’t have the capacity to compete due to having restricted funds, then how do they compete, you have to keep some sort of boundaries

Why make transfers bad at all? Or if a kid wants to travel across town and play for a different coach, etc.....who cares?
It DOESNT MATTER, its freaking high school sports. Real competitors want to play against the best.....

how am I a barbe guy? I dont even have a kid at barbe and I didnt go to barbe. Just because i know a lot about the program, doesnt make me a barbe guy
as far as sam houston getting a few kids
they have kids from jennings, welch, south beau, south lake charles and westlake on their roster guess what...i dont care that they do. I think kids should be able to go where ever they want.

same shite yall said 2 years ago and when i posted the roster compared to the 12u SLC all star team from couple years before everyone stfu.
please name a kid barbe recruited that is on the team. Zaylon? yea im sure that barbe went to shreveport and went and recruited a kid they never heard of that was in 6th grade at the time. The kid from texas that his dad got transferred to LC area? or littleton...the kid thats whole family moved to LC.
plenty of people move into certain school districts to go to schools. that isnt recruiting. do you think barbe is out there offering financial assistance? do you think they are promising playing time to 14 year olds
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: i mean if thats the case and barbe is so good at recruiting why would they not do it in football? Why would they allow the kids that used to go there traditionally that now go to LCCP get away?

that called a free market contract. please lmk where I as a parent signed a contract that my kid could only play for certain schools.

call it whatever you want. in the end you are scared to let schools compete. and im talking mainly in academics. Schools should be competing against 1 another for kids and dollars. its how you ensure a better product. no different than any business.
