So, will the rich, white Christian private schools still be able to win a trophy with daddy’s money and 4x4?


so this is where we are as a society...we rag on parents for doing their job, being successful, sending kids to non government schools and being able to afford to buy their kid a truck?

oh the horror....how dare they be such bad people!!! How dare they be Christian and not want to be around the pieces of shite and the propaganda spouted in many public schools...how dare they.


this isn't the slight you think it is dude. more of a compliment and shows that you have a shitty mindset and are prolly raising shitty kids who will grow up to be poor shitty adults.

if the shoe fits, lace that bitch up and wear it.

couldn’t play varsity my freshman year at Catholic because I wasn’t in district,

Never really thought about it. But I guess that explains why there weren't freshmen on the varsity team. I always thought it was a Weiner/Athletic Dept thing.

For football, 99.9% of the time in wouldn’t matter

But for all the other sports, it usually cost them 1 starting player a year minimum

Slow down. Let your kid be a kid. Nothing wrong with developing in JV ball. There is no horror in “only” having 3 years to compete in varsity sports. If your kid went to a 5A school they wouldn’t be good enough to compete with the varsity anyway.


Big sports mentality. Sure this line of thinking applies to football but football isn't the only sport that the LHSAA governs (despite what principals think).

What about swimming, tennis, golf, etc. that don't have JV level competition?

And, like I said earlier, that exception was removed last year, although there is some question as to how the LHSAA is now going to handle these kids.


you sure?

because like for myself

we are zoned for an elem that is a feeder for Lagrange, but a middle school that is a feeder for Barbe. The Lagrange zone was manipulated to take the two new neighborhoods near the port of LC to try and help the test scores(no kids go to LG though) and Barbe district stops about 100' from my house at the bayou.....

i was told if we attend the feeder middle school in 8th grade, file out of district, my kids would be eligible immediately. is that not the case anymore? got a link to that?

Lol. Speak for yourself bud.

Pretty sure the best volleyball player in Baton Rouge area is an 8th grader at Parkview.

Parkview also just ran through St. Joes and a handful of other 5A teams in the last 2 weeks, so that shoots a hole in your 5A theory.

It's up in the air as of right now. The Same School System exception was removed by the principals in January. The LHSAA has asked all schools to submit a Matriculation System Plan to their executive office. These plans will supposedly be submitted to the Executive Committee during the September meeting. Anybody that is giving you a definite answer one way or the other, isn't doing right by you because no one knows by what protocols these Matriculation Plans are being approved or denied.

btw everyone celebrating this......

the EC sent out a million emails, most left on unread, before the EC made decision last year

this whole thing could go a 100 different ways and is just as likely to end the split as it is going to how it was last year.

imo if we are going have the split....then if you are open enrollement or take certain % out of district, should be considered select.

either the rules apply to all or they dont

and we should go to last years layout. adjust regular season to the Div 1/2/3 etc and get rid of districts and roll with it.

I took the under 7.5 replies before someone started bashing Catholic-BR and it only took 6.

The irony that one of the schools in this suit is one of the “play in class” proponents that led us to the split??

Seems like they have standing if the rules require a vote.

use the amended definition.


The basis of the lawsuit was there was no vote on the definition... problem is when the split happened there was not vote on the definition, so is the judge ordering a return to everything combined ?... (Also, not 100% sure there ever was a definition at all, if there was one I am genuinely curious, it just seemed random)

Heaven forbid the rules apply the same to everyone.

Catholic has benefited greatly from having "feeder" schools from everywhere.

Looks to me like the LHSAA has just goes along with the diocese categorization, which is horseshite.

*although someone says it has changed, so idk.

This has gone on for so long that I stopped paying attention to it

Why is it so hard to set up properly? There needs to be two separate classifications of schools, one where schools can ONLY take in kids from a certain geographic region and one where schools can take kids from anywhere


It’s really not that difficult

There was a definition, I’m just not sure it was ever voted on

There was the 25% out of district rule and a rule that specified certain charter schools had to be select. The NOLA schools were going to be select until the Karr principal spoke up on it and basically made it a race issue

I still don’t know where you get your feeder school shite from

Austin Nola from st Jude couldn’t play freshman year at Catholic

I was from st. Aloysius and couldn’t play freshman year at Catholic

This was 2003 and 2005

It was very rare we had a freshman that didn’t attend 8th grade that actually was eligible for varsity

Irony part 2 , I believe 8 of the last 10 schools sanctioned by LHSAa were originally non select

There has never been a definition of "select" voted on by the LHSAA membership.
