re: The split is here to stay-deal with it

Zomg privates can pull from out of their attendance zone. Jesus what a moronic statement. That is more than off-set by the fact that tuition has to be paid and that kids must sit out a year to be eligible.

Didn't you know every private school has Harvard style endowments and everyone goes for free?

Bm's endowment makes harvard look like a homeless person

Yea when bm had dj. He was a part of the work study program. He would work during his off period.

Whiny? When the entire upheaval in the statewide organization was driven by "no one wants Curtis"?? And my two kids got eliminated by Curtis at Curtis 3 out of their 5 years? Principal Griffin drove tearing apart the entire LHSAA because her boys got crushed by Curtis ONCE. And all the big boys made sure they didn't get them either. I think my personal beef is pretty legitimate. Are all the 5A and 4A schools passing rules making sure they didn't have to play Curtis whiny too? Whining about Curtis drove all this upheaval, I'm just joining the crowd.

Curtis used to play 4a in days when you could play as up as you wanted. they chose 4a. in those days Evangel played all the way up to 5a.

didnt you predict a UHigh win this year?

As has been explained, they only played up to 4A so their other teams didn't get crushed like ECA's did. Idk what they would with a football only opportunity. This split only applies to football, so it helps highlight both the hypocrisy and that its all about Curtis.

And GOJ, I'm highlighting the entire state whines about Curtis, even those that haven't ever had the pleasure of facing them. I also think I've got a bit more of a personal involvement than most. For you to call me out is absurd, since I know full well you understand what this entire Select/Non-Select business was about. And it wouldn't have affected us-even without the split we still would have gotten Curtis. Doesn't mean I like having to face a Junior College every year that an entire state constantly changes rules around to play dodge-em.

Nope. I said at the beginning of the year that our first team could match up to anyone in the State, but we were lacking depth. I think that proved to be pretty accurate. That they wore us down didn't surprise me, that our offense couldn't get on the scoreboard did. Considering that it should have been 6-0 at half kind of bore that out. (Their TD on the final play of the half occurred about 20 feet from me, and I'm pretty sure the first ref that marked him short made the right call. So, first team for both teams was pretty even. Depth was an issue. 100 kids, few players going both ways, versus a team of 53 with 15-20 playing both ways, means at some point fatigue makes a big difference.
