The big privates could and would support the smaller privates


The big publics absolutely could not support the smaller public schools.


Go to a small private school, you will see program support for tennis, golf, tiddly winks and more


Go to a small public school that isnt one of the few that have a football following, and you will see baseball played on an overgrown cow pasture, no tennis team, and a golf team who is coached by the Math teacher names Mrs. Jones and their averages score is +110 over par


I have 100% confidence a fully public run system in louisiana will fail. I would bet my life on it

negative... some smaller privates are struggling mightily right now.. redemptorist died.. christian life....


small towns support the heck out of their teams....

I sat in a couple of meetings with some private coaches/ad/principals after the split..... their reasons for actually not bolting are pretty well known - hence the further split.. the publics had em...

for one in most privates do not have their own stadium.. catholic high, jesuit and BM the 3 biggest and most powerful.. Local school boards control most municipal stadiums if the teams bolted. - they could have been denied use.... the NFHS will now only recognize 1 association in a state.....

2. the public selects are all on the verge of being allowed back in with publics...

3. many of the 1A schools would get mauled having to play with 2a... many in 2a want no part of the 3a...

4. many in 4a - politicked to be away from the 5a....

at the end of the day too few teams... and yes catholic, jesuit and BM could go build their own stadiums..... but many could not.... I have been to games all over the state.. and unless you have been there you can't comprehend how much support teams get once you are out of the suburbs..... Like one principal told me.. after 2013 when they realized we didn't have the solidarity or the overall resources to bolt, we have been at their mercy......

Omg dude why do you hate public schools so much?

am not naive enough to beleive any public run system can survive without the support/ forced welfare from the private sector in this state

. So you want public run schools with being funded from taxes? Is this what you are saying? Because that is what it sounds like. If so how do you propose that they be funded?

Yea man I get all that, but why do you hate their athletic programs so much? You know you and I are cool, but honestly it just seems like a stuck up, snobby opinion... I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything, but damn

Finally, Catholic BR, Saint Amant, East Ascension, and Dutchtown are all choke artists in the post season.

Can’t argue with this. Historically, your homosexual brothers atCHS ARE chokers. Not until they got to the watered down playoffs have they sniffed a SC.

New to Louisiana High school football
I have no issues with any of the public schools that voted against the split

For the ones that voted for it I think it damn near represents everything wrong with the public system mentality in this state

---

the magnificent 7 that gave us play in class which led to the split are a greater example


everyone protects their own parochial interests

. If Curtis cuts a bunch of kids and has like 50-60, does Jane Griffin think they're more of a normal 2A school?

---

I don't think they ever cut

Do you have any articles from this?

I remember this happening my junior year in high school I beleive, and Coach Weiner was pissed about it

---

No...... yes Dale was one of the 5 or 6 that stated "this will lead to trouble" The regime at the time at shaw and regime before them also came out hard against it. So did a big public program in laffy.... but the ones that started it had tired of losing to JC and ECA... and some didn't want JC in their district / class as football only...


actually one of the clowns took credit when eca had their "break up" saying LOOK it worked.....no,,,,, no it didn't.....

I know someone well that was on the exec comm back then and he has some notes on it... but.... that's about it....

Why don't you tell us what your answers and solutions are to the problems between public and private schools?

Play together.

Period

99% of players that leave their districts in louisiana to attend private schools are for a better education and environment, and they pay full price.


The free tuition for athletes happens, but it has been made a fake bogey man far larger that it really is. And guess what, the private schools are still competing against those same few schools that abuse the rules(publics abuse these rules as well)

If the public schools that were losing students to private schools focused more on improving their academics and school, they wouldnt have to worry so much about losing at football.......
