That's also why public schools still will have no chance in the non select 4A division. Those New Orleans charter schools have that division locked up.


Exactly!

Interestingly, charter schools should be Selects, right? I mean they do not have a true attendance zone like public schools, and students have to test-in or meet admissions criteria, yes?

Is not Byrd in Caddo Parish a charter and playing select? Why do L/W, Karr, and Warren Easton get classified as non-select?

Things that make you go hmmmm.

Really all of the Orleans Parish schools should be select now

no question

the biggest travesty of all of this was the public principals in NORLA pushing the executive committee to allow the Class C and Class B schools to vote on the original Football playoff split. That paved the way for all of this BS and now they cant put the toothpaste back in the tube. Having open enrollment charter and magnet schools win the "non-select" titles is sweet irony for those idiots.

It's not that they allowed them to vote... it's that they had a veiled threat of combining class b and c........

In addition, those said private schools always thought that their shite didn't stink and thought that they were better than all the public schools.
Well, they are

Not saying my shite doesn’t stink, because it does, but Catholic is far better than every public school in its area (sans BR High, which is only “public” by name)

Most of them just falsify enrollment figures. The rule is that if 25% of your student population is select enrollment, then you are a "select school."

However, there is no audit system to check this. The LHSAA basically just relies on the sheet of paper filled out by the principal to determine select or non-select. There are several select magnets out there that have started making noise about this because the feel like they are getting the short end.

Als, everyone is assuming that the selects will play all four divisions at the same site. That's not the case. Expect there to be 2-3 different sites hosting games.

there was nothing "veiled" about it choup, they outright told the Class C principals there would be consolidation with Class B. There are some Class B schools with 2A enrollment that dont play football. Would have been devastating for the Class C enrollment schools.

these NORLA principals got what they wanted, enjoy

I say F the private schools. if 0-10 teams making the playoffs are a problem, then start more private schools.


This is entire post is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever read.

First off the 0-10 teams are in the non select side. Selects reduced the brackets to eliminate the 0-10 teams from the playoffs. Public schools have constantly done everything to have a “everyone gets a trophy” playoff system

Second, the majority of recruiting violations are committed by public schools, not private. (See: Hahnville football, Walker Girls basketball)

I coached at a small private school and we would regularly get bombed by public schools. Instead of crying about it like you are scouted them and tried to see what they did that we were not doing.

You sound like a bitter person who is jealous of other teams. Instead of trying to improve you just want to duck the good teams. That’s sad.

What’s ironic is you probably have no issue with schools like Many, who draw from an entire parish, because they are “public”

the host schools send in a post season gate receipt report... with $ for the LHSAA.. .if anything.. the numbers are low... either way it's more accurate than opinions or guestimates on here.

No, but I find it very difficult to believe select schools are worse off financially than their public school counterparts, and they certainly won't be if they're playing at ULL.

Karr used to regularly have kids from Jefferson Parish. They probably pulled kids from Plaquemines Parish too.

talk to an AD or principal... the two less playoff games also hurt.. and attendance at post season games is down - even for NOLA catholic league teams - same old same old rematches....

Okay, and what about public schools? I'm not arguing the split was good for select revenue, I just find it difficult to believe it publics are supposedly doing better.
