They are gonna break it up to where the post season has 3 brackets on each side, 3 'select' and 3 'non-select'. All magnet, charter, and private schools will play postseason in the select group. Playoffs in private school would make so much more money than public schools it isn't even funny. You will have every round matchups like Catholic-STM, Rummel-Parkview, Curtis-Jesuit, etc.
It's dumb and they shouldn't do it, although they will.

They should just do it like Mississippi. Have an LHSAA and a LPSAA. There are plenty of schools in each class for both and plenty of competitive schools in each class for both.

Agreed. Most of the people complaining here about the split are private school people. I am assuming because there are fewer private schools accross the state? It will make things more difficuly for private schools to form districts. Who cares about accommodating private schools to be totally honest? The public school supporters/parents are mostly fine with it. Split them up and the private schools can run things however they want. 4 of 5 private schools winning it all in football and Karr who isn't a typical public school winning the other. It's past time to split. Public schools can go back to 1A-4A for football. I am not worried about diluting the quality because private schools win a majority of the time anyway. Other states have a seperate private-public school model. Louisiana is still going to have talent. People won't move out so their kids can play football.

I'm fine if public splits as long as they don't have a postseason and declare championships because that would be a joke.

if the LHSAA keeps suing the State (Legislature & BESE), they may not have to worry about governing the public schools, as the Legislature may just create its own body under BESE.

I think the split is going to happen. The question is if it does, which proposal will it be. Will it be the one that splits the schools in football only or the one that splits them in all sports. The talk about the split is really starting to heat up with the principals.

I think Texas has the same concept

it's amazing how private schools like yourself want the publics to stay in the league. of course the privates would all be put in a division or two and have to play each other should there be a split; as opposed to the current situation of beating down on the publics the absolute majority of the time.
i guess you do want to keep your advantages so you can "claim" your championships. but if the public wants to do it separate, then it doesn't count. what a crock.

You're a pussy for wanting to run from competition. Yet you want to declare a champion.
What kind of crap is that?

A split would be very bad for both publics and privates.
It hurts publics for the reasons Supa so eloquently stated a couple pages back.
But it also hurts the mid-level privates: can you imagine the St. Thomas Aquinas's and St. Louis's of the world trying to compete with Jesuit and Rummel for state championships? (in any sport)

Evangel is the only private school to beat WM that I can remember.
Posted on 12/15/12 at 4:21 pm to JJ27
here's the total number of 5A schools that would be select: Catholic, St. Paul's, Rummel, Jesuit, Brother Martin, Holy Cross, Shaw, St. Augustine

Byrd is a magnet
Posted on 12/15/12 at 4:33 pm to JJ27
can you live outside _________ parish and go there?
bc that should be the litmus test for select/non-select
i'm worried that the rules will allow one public school to draw from an entire parish and be "select", while another public school can draw from an entire parish and be "non-select"

.any one who allows students to attend w/o living in that schools legal area........you play in A or AA private playoffs........it is fair and wise.
I'm in on this thread late so this has probably been said already, but ...
What you propose would put 75 percent of the membership into the private playoffs. For example, in Baton Rouge, every school has some sort of magnet component that allows it to draw from outside of its boundaries. In Calcasieu, its desegregation plan is minority-majority, meaning a school like Barbe probably has 200-300 black students who don't live in zone. Washington-Marion is a magnet. In Lafayette, Lafayette High has some sort of designated arts program school (big reason why it now has 2,300 students).
The majority of metro-area schools will have programs that enable kids from outside attendance zones to go to those schools.

Louisiana used to have a private school association back in the 80's and early 90's call LISA (louisiana independent school association).
That was created basically for white flight, same as the Mississippi private schools. It was basically an all-white organization.

Isn't Richwood a Ouachita Parish School and Neville a Monroe city school?
They are not only different attendance zones, but also different school systems.
Perhaps the players were close to Richwood, but in the city of Monroe and, hence, zoned to Monroe city schools?
And, within that context, yes, Monroe is a hella bussing school district. I lived there briefly, went to a neighborhood school, but my brother, who should have been in the same school, was bussed across town while kids from across town were bussed to my school.
If I had stayed to get to my brother's grade I would have been taken out of my school and bussed across town like my brother.
It was a complete and utter mess.
