Amazingly, this doesn't stop at athletics. Shocking, I know.

So is it going to be like Texas with the SPC where the private schools are just split into divisions separate from public?
I was in SPC
I wish we could've had a playoff system, but we only had like 16 teams or so in our division. It is a really good system.
I don't really know the pros and cons of the situation. I know our HS right now is pretty damn talented in football and we are a very small private school that could compete with some of the big boys.

Wait...so you are saying that most private schools give better educations than public schools? This can not be tolerated. We must have separate diplomas and public school diplomas should count as higher quality to get into colleges. Life must be fair!!!

Didn't read the tread but I think it's obvious that this is going to really harm the public schools. You couple the better quality of football with the new voucher program and I promise you there will be a mass exodus of talent from public to private schools.

JeffersonParish schools have long been fricked with Curtis and the Catholic league attracting players.
actually.. kemosabe.. since.. 1980.. JP public schools have 2 state titles 81 and 85... Catholic league state titles....87 and 12....
the big hurt to JP publics.. was a higher than statewide GPA requirement which sent a lot of GOOD coaches elsewhere... and since that rule was put in place...only 2 trips to the semifinals for them..... Ehret in 2000 and Kordell Stewart's sr. year where they were really robbed on a late muffed punt call.......but ehret and west jeff have been a shell of their former selves... and the rule was changed. but the damage was long since done... much like judge parkers to BR.
before that change... ehret and WJ had many semifinal appearances... of course the rise of shaw as a power hurt them with early playoff exits in bi district.
actually two of the worst calls i have seen in HS were both against ehret and both cost them semifinal games....
the east bank schools are hit much harder by catholics and jc...
the west bank has so much talent it really is like a different country...

which private schools? The same ones that decided last year not to participate in the voucher program?

Once again, private schools can control their enrollment With this, they can control what class they are in. They can accept as many as they like or turn away as many as they like. Public schools have to accept whoever comes through the door.

Private schools do not have to take the EOC test or the LEAP test as public schools do.

I don't think some of you relize how much $$$ the private schools have Put in compared to the public schools to the LHSAA. LHSAA should be very nervous about what the private schools will do. I understand wanting to check Curtis and evangel but this will end up hurting the public schools in football in the long run. Hope it works out for the best for both of our sides.

so what's your point.. are you really going to say public school education is better, because of this?

Educate me. What money do private schools add to the LHSAA beyond their regular dues?

No I am not saying that. Someone posted jokingly that the diplomas should be different or something like that. So I was just pointing out that difference. I can tell you that I graduated from a private school in Baton Rouge after attending a public high school in another parish and the public school was better academically.

Moist of the "recruiting" venom is BS. The difference is mostly disciplined play.
So it was just disciplined play that allowed Evangel, a school with a 1A enrollment, to thrash West Monroe, a school with a 5A enrollment, several consecutive years in the Dome? Gotcha

The people with money in Crowley support Notre Dame. They support the Gents too but not in the same capacity. I put it to you this way. The reason Notre Dame isn't reported is because of the fallout with the money people in town. Now that's a fact, but please continue to believe whatever the frick you want.
Example, when Louie left Crowley all the weights at Crowley High went to Notre Dame. It was a booster(s) in the community that donated. It was given to Louie not Crowley High.
Nobody goes to state championships year after year without a competitive advantage. You can sit here and tell me Louie Cook is a football god. Maybe, but it's just ironic the same teams make the the state championships each year. Nobody believes that Notre Dame, JC, Parkview and Evangels coaches are just that much better than everyone else. It flies in the face of all logic. On the same hand, nobody believes WM doesn't recruit either.
I been around Crowley and the private school system long enough to know how the games played. I honestly don't believe your dumb arse knows anything about what happens at ND. I'll start naming names in second if you want to go there.

The LHSAA gets money off every game played based of attendance 10% in the playoffs per game. Attendance at most off these private school games is much higher than the public schools. So you have 90 private school that would leave.(this is just speculation) and form there own league, there are at least 75-100 public schools in Louisiana were attendance is not good. Attendance at the private schools is better in most cases. Some public schools do well
Don't get me wrong. But in the area were I work. I have worked in both systems. Football wise the private school have huge attendance. An we have 4 5a schools here. and only one of them can come close to matching the private schools game attendance.

Private schools dominate wrestling. Do you honestly think they are recruiting kids to wrestle?
Of course not. They just have people more dedicated to a program. And therein lies the problem with this proposal, it's not about an advantage in recruiting, it's about have more dedicated people in private schools.
Thanks for pulling the most random example. But I do believe the Catholic League recruits kids to play basketball?
I don't blame a kid for leaving and trying to better himself going to a private school. The public schools have had enough of this though. Stop saying the private schools are more dedicated because that's BS. They have a competitive advantage. The stats don't lie.
