that is why jp schools are in select now.

Just not enough talent to go around in JP for a Public School to win in Football, unless Curtis, Rummel, martin, Jesuit kick kids out and they all wind up in the same school, lol.

seems like Natchitoches Central would be better moving over to 2-5A with ASH, Pineville, West Monroe, Ruston, Ouachita, and Neville

Well then the plaquemines parish schools need to get with the times I suppose.. BC constantly loses kids to the private schools, and a couple to karr, Easton, etc, but never offset that by bringing in kids from across the parish lines.
It sucks that we can’t find a level playing field for everyone

Chalmette will never be ready for the Catholic League, will essentially be bottom dwellers just like every other time in recent history they were placed in the Catholic League.
The best option for Chalmette is to open another high school (or two) and get moved back down to 3A/4A

What’s their reasoning to dropping back to 2a when they are dominating 4a?
Notre Dame of Crowley might want to start recruiting since they never have. There's no way they can hang in football with LCA. No more district championships for them.

Well, according to bhtigerfan, they've never recruited. I guess he's on staff there and knows every single detail that goes on with athletics.

I'll say a couple of things, one is that Louie Cook is possibly the best pure coach to have ever coached in Louisiana football. Certainly, the best I have seen in my lifetime when it comes to having a competitive team with fewer top-level players.
But I also know that Tyler Shelvin shopped for schools before he settled on ND. Does that mean they recruited him to come to school there and play football? I would lean toward that being a clue but it is certainly not conclusive.
But the flip side is you don't see a lot of high-end talent going to ND. I think the recruiting aspect in general is overblown. Winning is the best recruiter, truth be told. Having a well-known and well respected coach is another.

Why is it dumb to separate schools that have a boundary from where they can pull student athletes and schools that don’t? Seems to make sense to me

In New Orleans they do. It's not for the whole state of Louisiana.

I agree with Coach Cook being one the best coaches. My cousin played for him at Crowley High.
Yes, catholic schools recruiting is definitely overblown but you can't tell me that it never happens. I worked with a single dad years ago that sent his middle son to STM(football), while the older and younger sibling both went to Lafayette High(non football). He said they didn't recruit but I highly doubt he would have shelled out the money for tuition when he could have sent him over to Lafayette High as well.

There’s talent, the system doesn’t help them though
Let’s be honest. Part of the reason this is happening is because they see us with a whole parish behind us and really no bureaucracy to deal with compared to them. Whatever we want we get and it shows in football and baseball… in football other than John Ehret none of them have beaten us in 10 years now. In baseball we’ve won district five years in a row. It makes sense to go after a new challenge

Salt was just better at getting kids.
Right as soon as he won at EJ Salt got a big money deal at Hahnville, then a bigger money deal at HC

We actually did lose to Grace King while we were in the Catholic League in 2007…
But that was Tucker’s first year and no one could have won with that team… Fast forward to 2023 and Tucker is 5 wins away from 100 now… our kids and staff went 9-1 this year with a close loss to #1 seed Holy Cross and put running clocks on three of four district teams so they might be wondering “what if” and I’m sure that played a role in things.
