re: LHSAA: The Definition of 'Select' Schools Just Got A Lot More Broad

I thought they were open enrollment but could be incorrect. They seem to stack transfers from around the parish but maybe they just get the kids to move in

could be i dunno.

personally i think if you take anyone out of district period, you should be select. make it strict black and white, force the select to be over 50% of the members and then vote this crap out.

honestly its looking like right now over 45% of members will be select after this, hoping that forces a vote on the split that ends it. period.

All.you idiots want parity everywhere in all sports.
It's just mind numbing

first off i have said 100 times i want the split to end. the publics need to provide better environment, education, facilities, coaching etc

I dont want parity, i think the split it BS. All the private schools are offering is the same thing the publics do, a free education and that is at most.

Who fricking cares? Don't like it, beat em.

well tell that to the MANY principle. He is the one that led the whole mob that pushed for the select non select yet he gets to select from all over the parish.....so yea i fricking care cause he is a frickign hypocrite just like that whole shite town and school.

fricking them. they are the ones that pushed this shite so they can play by the rules.

ftr no school i attended nor my kids would attend play them currently nor would they play them in the future and i currently have a step nephew on thier team....doesnt change the fact that they pushed for these rules so they need to play by them.


and sorry under no rules should the largest 2a school in the state be able to draw from 600 other kids giving them the same enrollment numbers as the very largest 4a schools in the state and still be able to compete in 2a.

frick them, go play with the selects and even if not, they should be subject to the enrollment of all the schools they get to choose kids from cause all of them can play football.

You’re thinking of Neville with the transfers. None are open enrollment.

This isn’t what y’all think it is. This is a ploy to get everyone back together by putting way more teams into Select. Just stacking votes.

I’m all for bringing it back together. I’ve been antisplit the entire time.

The guys I’ve talked to think it’ll be a 1 year thing and then we will all be back together.

i will say though, the LHSAA needs to go away from the dome. the select championships showed that to be the case.

---

I disagree. I do think that the Louisiana government needs to cap what the Dome can charge. Is it not owned by the taxpayers? If so, why shouldn't the games be played there at no cost outside of operational? Then sell tickets at the schools with them receiving all of the profits and anything at the gate being split?

also as much as selfishly want the baseball games played in sulphur, need to go away from there once youngsville is built and prolly move there.

---

I can't stand Sulphur. The views are horrendous.

They can only charge that much because they know the LHSAA will pay it. I’m not sure why Baton Rouge couldn’t host it. The games are all played after LSU’s regular season ends and they redo the turf every summer anyway

Seems like there is still time for schools to determine changing their enrollment rules,

---

Considering the LHSAA goes out of their way to show everyone how "we don't let schools make decisions to benefit athletics over academics", it would be HYSTERICAL for schools to actually change what students they admit, in order to benefit athletics over academics.

Ponchatoula is absolutely not magnet. Just Hammond.

Correct, and I’m under the impression that the magnet schools in Tangi took on that designation as part of the deseg plan, so it won’t be changing.

Wow. John Ehret would be select. They are big supporters of the split.

hopefully MANY gets fricked. they are the definition of select. get to stay 2a but then draw football kids from all over the parish. its bullshite.

---

It's bullshite when Many in a parish of 24k does it, but Southern Lab in a metro of BR has been doing it since its existence is perfectly fine.

Once had a college coach when asked why he doesn't recruit any Southern Lab players, respond with, "Because they can't qualify"
