Mr LSU2001

Uhigh is now in division III so they can.

Every Catholic School in the state has feeder schools. If you are the only catholic school in the city then all catholic schools will feed to that Catholic high school.
However if there is more than one the the middle schools will be split and feed to a specific one which will be considered Direct feeder schools. the rule was if you came from one of those you would be eligible, if you were not from a direct you would be ineligible. Not all 12 feed directly to Catholic some feed directly to st michaels as well. It is actually no different than the public middle schools who feed to public high schools, they all have direct feeders as well. You cannot put blame on the catholic schools just because they have opened more schools than the baptists. Unfortunetly the people who want to send their kids to a certain private high school need to move within zone are send their kid to that schools feeder school

I attended two LCA games out of interest this season. There is no way the average LCA family could support a tuition or donation level that would allow for some students to have "waivers". It has to be coming from their church

Lca keeps their tuition at the ace scholarship level. But it is does seem they are in involved in alot of recruitment as far as finding houses in there area to get kids eligible, plus they pastor is not welcome at several Lafayette school unless it’s and official game

I Lca keeps there tuition at the La ace scholarship level so they have no out of pocket expenses, plus not to mention rumored other shady dealings, as for Teurlings and stm they have to answer to the the diocese about certain fees and tuition so they can’t compete with what Lca offers. But Lca does lack in education compared to those 2 schools

He is very good! Last season they were mostly sophomores and juniors. Kantrell Prejean is the real deal as well. Plus a lot of kids with experience from last season.

Probably because a 100% healthy Thomas is better than a 65-75% healthy bech.

Right
I could swear the President Rides in the back of Limo or a huge SUV.

For the folks who want reunification, i am honestly curious.... What are your thoughts on IMG academy? Should they be playing in the florida high school playoffs? in a district? Because that is a similar advantage that privates have here. I hate the everyone gets a trophy/playoffs mentality, but there has to be some competitive balance.
I dont know the solution, but would like to hear some thoughts on that

First of all Img gets kids from all around the country
. And just so you know not all private schools recruit!
But for every private school you claim does there are just as many public schools that Do.

In the area i coach in its well know what LCA does and What acadiana does as well.

Nola is a free for all for public and private.

Public schools that are know to recruit as well and they are the same teams always in the superdome or semi-finals yearly so please stop acting like its just private schools.

Now do John Curtis and Evangel. Obviously none of the schools you listed had anything to do with the split, so lets have a real honest conversation about it instead of throwing out red herrings. Would you answer the question about IMG? Would you be ok with them showing up in your district and playoff race every year? With 5 star players from across the country?

Don't think evangel should be mentioned anymore. They are a shell of what they used to be. Not very good anymore.

Because they see Catholic/UHigh grab all the premier athletes in the entire BR metro region while they are limited to kids who live in their relatively smaller zipcodes

They also know each school finds "ways" to help with tuition which is a violation of current LHSAA bylaws

It isn't the non-select schools' fault for the debacle that is LHSAA football.

The non-selects originally proposed 6 division. 4 non-select and 2 select. That would have kept every division competitive.

The non-selects went bananas and demanded the same number of divs despite not having enough schools. It was their attempt to poison the split from happening. Non-selects called their bluff and voted in favor of the split anyway.

You Do relize why the selects went with 4 divisions don't you. Unlike the public schools think not every private school is out their buying athletes. You could not expect the schools with 200 kids to compete with the ones that have 800-900 kids. Majority of private schools are small.
