re: LHSAA state playoffs round 1…

Can someone explain to me the difference between Select vs Non-Select? For instance I'm from Sulphur originally and they are non-select but they play Acadiana in the same district, but Acadiana is a Select school. What's that mean? They are in the same district but they would never be (if SHS would ever get in the playoffs...yeah right) in the same playoff bracket.
I know this change came about a few years ago, but I never really looked at it, and just recently tried to understand it.

So can schools in La "recruit" now? I thought a school like Acadiana was a public school and serviced by the parish. Maybe I'm mixing apples/oranges

Bonnabel 28 Riverdale 14. First playoff win since 1997. Won't be pretty next week at Teurlings Catholic.

Your LHSAA attendance zone is not your entire parish. Public schools like Acadiana have attendance zones within their parishes, but they also have special programs on campus that the school system chooses to allow students from all over the parish to attend. That means, as far as the LHSAA is concerned, the school's attendance is not limited to its attendance zone. That makes them Select schools.
Non-Select schools, on the other hand, only accept students from within their attendance zone. At least officially. So if School A and School B are in the same parish and which one you attend is determined solely by your address, you're a Non-Select school. If there are local policies in place that allow students to attend either one of those schools, regardless of their addresses, then those schools are Select.
For example:
Every high school in Rapides Parish is Select because any student in that parish can attend any high school in that parish.
Every high school in St. Tammany Parish is Non-Select because every student in that parish is told which high school they can attend based on their home address.
The schools in Lafayette Parish are a mix of Select and Non-Select because some schools have special programs that any student in the parish can attend while other schools don't have any of those programs so only students who have addresses in the attendance zone can attend them.

How many make the playoffs
They need to shorten by 1 round.
Bogalusa made the playoffs at 1-9 and played 8th graders several times this year out of necessity.
They were outscored 464-90 on the year.
They are playing undefeated Erath
NOBODY wants that game.

Crutchfield don’t care about all that… he took that same 25 kid team and had their August scrimmage at Chalmette… if I were him I would have went right down the road to Varnado

in some divisions it shakes out like this, but in div-1 nonselect you still have teams with winning records being left out. It';s going to be really tough to do anything that doesnt swing it too hard one way or another.

You are right, and there have been very good teams with ridiculous non district schedules go 4-6 and still win a couple playoff games. I think it was Hannan? that went 1-9 last year and actually won a playoff game.
Just hate to see teams that barely made it through the regular season have to travel to get curb stomped.

This week 11 is a glorified last regular season week… the state playoffs really start next week with the contenders in action
