re: LHSAA state playoffs round 1…

Your LHSAA attendance zone is not your entire parish. Public schools like Acadiana have attendance zones within their parishes, but they also have special programs on campus that the school system chooses to allow students from all over the parish to attend. That means, as far as the LHSAA is concerned, the school's attendance is not limited to its attendance zone. That makes them Select schools.

Non-Select schools, on the other hand, only accept students from within their attendance zone. At least officially. So if School A and School B are in the same parish and which one you attend is determined solely by your address, you're a Non-Select school. If there are local policies in place that allow students to attend either one of those schools, regardless of their addresses, then those schools are Select.

For example:

Every high school in Rapides Parish is Select because any student in that parish can attend any high school in that parish.

Every high school in St. Tammany Parish is Non-Select because every student in that parish is told which high school they can attend based on their home address.

The schools in Lafayette Parish are a mix of Select and Non-Select because some schools have special programs that any student in the parish can attend while other schools don't have any of those programs so only students who have addresses in the attendance zone can attend them.

Growing up we lived on a couple of acres with lots of mature pine trees. Even before we were old enough to help mow, my brother and I had to pick up limbs before our dad mowed. The rule was anything bigger than his thumb had to go.

Anyway, one Saturday we’d picked up limbs and he was mowing. We missed limbs in two places maybe 150-200 sf each. Our dad brought us out, showed us instead of stopping he’d just mowed around them, then gave us each a pair of scissors and told us to mow those spots ourselves.

Then he brought out the camcorder and recorded it for posterity. My dad was a high school principal and I don’t know how many people have told me about watching me cut grass with scissors. Plumber’s crack and all.

The bright spot I guess is that after he got tired of filming us (thank God camcorders in the early 90s were heavy) he went inside and eventually fell asleep in his recliner. Push mower to the rescue.
