re: LHSAA week 8… and enrollment numbers

Bonnabel becomes one of the biggest schools in the state with 2311

That campus looks like a prison facility.

I legitimately felt bad for those kids when I watched them play. They might have had 15 total kids suit up.

Jena? If they have 15 kids left and are 7-0 then their coaching staff need major pay raises for the job they're doing lol.

What are you talking about? Jena probably has 70+ kids on their team. You must be thinking of Bolton who Jena killed last week. I feel really bad for Bolton. Kids quitting all year, probably the worst team in the state and less than 10 fans travel to their games. They should have just not had a team this year.

The Grove in Bunkie will be rocking this Friday for Jena/Bunkie. Will Bunkie be able to stop the Jena rushing attack with the size of Jenas line and Bunkie light up the middle and will Jena be able to stop Bunkies athletes at Qb and receiver.

West Feliciana back down to 3A. Going back to a brutal district. Madison Prep. Parkview. UHigh. Definitely battle tested for the playoffs in that district.

2. Open discussion of "going back down next year" by "fans" at the Jesuit game. School administrators were standing within earshot and didn't make an attempt to shut down the discussion. I was surprised because of the "show" they made about going 4A.
Nobody specifically said 2A that was just my dumbass looking at the chart. I have no real affiliation with the school other than attending a few games with friends.

Yeah, fans are often not very well-versed in the goings-on. Knowing Jay Miller, I would say it is very unlikely they go down in football for sure. Looking on another site and asking my son, who still has connections there, there have been no rumblings at all of that. Of course, no one knows what will happen in the future.

If the school keeps growing, they may end up bumping 3A in a few years.

You have to wonder if Jay Miller is lowering enrollment so they can get back to winning state titles against weaker competition.

They have been 2A enrollment for some time now. In the past, their enrollment numbers were only limited by classroom and teacher availability. At least as far as I can tell. They try to keep the student-teacher ratio around 20, I believe.

if we are going to stay div 1/2/3/4 they need to do away with the 1A-5A enrollement and just class them Div 1/2/3/4

Absolutely. But the LHSAA is schizophrenic so

quote:

yeah, that goes without saying. Was just curious if you had heard anything about it. Our coach even mentioned before the season that we may be changing districts

---

Though we did have a 9 team district in Southwest LA last cycle so why not one on the Northshore?

My guess is that you have the geographic proximity to other districts near the northshore schools to split those district members and not have a 4-team district. I don’t think you had that in SWLA.
