Some middle schools for comparison

Northwestern (Zachary)92.9
Prairieville (Ascension)- 110
Central - 83.3
Bluff (Ascension) - 107
Live oak - 73.6
Woodlawn (st George) -63.1

Ah, that makes sense. I was looking for St. Charles. It is usually fairly close to the top in Louisiana (it's like being a tall midget).


I have a feeling with how St Charles adopted the new literacy program early that you will see them at the top next year.
quote:

The top 2 districts have one high school each? If so, no wonder they're at the top.


If you want to see how they compare overall take the individual scores from the schools and compare them across districts.

Zachary- 104.1
Dutchtown - 105.5
St amant - 101.9
Live oak - 112.7
baton rouge high - 126.4
Liberty (Lee) - 110.3
West Feliciana - 105.7
Mandeville - 98.8
Covington - 80.3
Lakeshore - 88.1
Slidell - 81.7
Chalmette - 89.6
They had a severe impact status with more than 17 days of closure due to emergency. So their scores aren’t published.


High schools are scored based on:
25% ACT
12.5% LEAP score
12.5% progress - did they do better than last year even if they didn’t score what they were supposed to
20% graduation rate
25% strength of diploma
5% club opportunities
Didn’t they have a huge fish kill with the freeze recently?

Biggest tournament of the year is February 11th, $5k guaranteed for 1st, so I'm sure every pier and pile on the lake is gonna get worked hard.


Anyone want to launch a few pontoon boats and have a redneck yacht club in the south end of the lake feb 11th? I’ll brink the keg!

The guy you talking about is a very good person. You are not telling the complete story. When he suggested you build your own brush piles your smart arse answer was. Why should I when I can fish yours. You poured gas on the fire! You live on the lake therefore you have better and easier opportunity to build your own. The lake is 10 miles long and has over 1100 piers. If it wasn’t for the hard work of others would you be fishing this small area? Hell No. Several of us build brush piles. Yes, we can fish each others piles but we don’t. It’s called RESPECT. Evidently you don’t have any. You say you need to put up cameras and that you fear for your family. You must enjoy the harassment you claim because you continue to piss him off. You started this conversation wanting opinions and answers. It very simple. 1st Grade level answer. Build your own and stop fishing everyone else’s. Problem Solved


You’re a fricking idiot. I don’t even fish this lake and I’m tempted to launch there and drag every pile I can find off a flat just because such idiots like you exist. Get a grip. It’s a public lake and you’re a dumbass
Coming from a Lee high wrestler… you are correct sir. The 50th annual Lee high invitational!

Just a PSA for anyone who likes high school wrestling. This weekend is the 50th LA Classic tournament. It is the largest and most prestigious tournament in the state. They are hosting it at Lamar Dixon l. If you want to see the best around finals are tomorrow at 3 I think.

Here is a good 10 that was broke off.




Here are 3 of the bulls from today
The part that I don’t understand is that it’s not the players Union requesting the change, it’s the league. They are the ones who introduced it so heavily with analytics to begin with. So they are trying to put a new rule in banning what their dumbasses started.
It looks like he's going to be ok, but we won't know for a few days

Craziness at Carter Plantation today

Posted by TropicalBum on 2/20/22 at 9:41 pm
Today a few friends and I went to play a round at Carter Plantation. After warming up my friend asked us if we HD any advil, because his head was all of a sudden hurting. He was sitting in the cart about to take the advil and started sliding out of the golf cart. The next minute we look over he was laying on the ground puking. Turns out he had a massive stroke and needed emergency brain surgery to survive. We are all relatively young, and the possibility of a stroke hadn't crossed our minds. I tell you this as a challenge to read up on the signs of a stroke because you never know when you may be faced with it.
Thought I'd give a reasonable rundown and some highlights from the weekend if anyone is interested.

The tournament was overall two solid days of constant action and excitement. If you live around BR I'd encourage you to check out the Saturday rounds next year. It's nonstop action from 10am until 7pm.

Overall summary:
As expected, Brother Martin regained the D1 title from St Pauls, Teurlings Catholic ran away with the D2 title even more dominate than last year, and Basile won their 4th in a row as D3 champions.

Watching in person Clementi (BM 113), Perry (Airline 120), Ingram (Live Oak 145), Horvath (BM 170), and Hyatt (Sulphur 195) are the real deal. Each of them dominated through their brackets and were walking highlight reels. In my personal opinion the kid from airline was the most impressive since the Frost twins. The biggest surprise of the finals I think was the 160 from EA losing. Hats off to the wrestler from St Paul for his victory.

You can go to track wrestling.com and see the results and watch the matches.

If anyone is interested, I'll run down D2 and D3 too.
