New La. HS association proposed

Is this the new LISA 2.0?

I don't believe so. The minimum $900K start up fund gives it leverage and validity that LISA never had. (LISA served a great purpose when it was needed and was a good organization for many years)

I love listening to the whining public school peeps...

- We welcome you.
- We welcome you, but need to change the rules to keep a fair advantage for everyone except the Catholic league.
- We welcome you, but need to change the rules even more.
- We welcome you, but we need to set up a new system that prevents the public school powers from having to play you or the Catholics.
- We tease you into thinking we may go back to old system.
- You threaten to leave and set up your own organization.:laugh: Go ahead!

- This is crazy! It won't work! It will destroy Louisiana High School football as we know it!

I love it!

It cost money to start up. Guarantees to/from venues, refs,etc.. Also, no annual dues like LHSAA has been screwing schools out of to build unneeded admin facilities.

I hope it destroys the LHSAA bureaucracy.

You don't know what the set up would be, but are quick to jump on the public school band wagon...those who have the most to lose.

Good gosh!

Played in the last LISA All-Star game in 1992. The closing of Ridgedale Academy and the rise of WM football are coincidental?....

Those guys had 3 sets of players on offense and defense and would send wave after wave. Not only were they physically superior but when many on your own team were going both ways, it was epic defeats. David Kellogg would have 3 rushes for 210 yards. I think he went to NLU.

Our claim to fame in 1984 was that we were the only team to hold them scoreless in a quarter (3rd quarter). I think we still lost the game 70-7.

That is what was so cool about LISA. You played against the same people from 7th grade through high school. Not only did you compete against them, but many of them became good friends. We would date people from Ridgedale, PDA, CA, Riverdale, etc.

When people hear my graduating class was 24, they think "poor guy", but when I went to college I probably knew 150 people from LISA schools. I knew more people than anyone from Captain Shreve or Airline thought about knowing the first day they walked on campus. LISA was a great experience...MAIS (as a parent) not so much.

I recalled this morning that WM's lack of ability to beat Evangel in the Dome was not lack of talent, it was lack of coaching.

But in the meantime, ease off on the hate. You and I have NEVER had a discussion today or any day about Evangel, the Dome or whatever you're making up.

No hate. Not drinking the LHSAA kool-aid does not equal hate. I used Evangel as a talking point because they are the prime example (Along with John Curtis) as "The Reason" for this mess. BTW, we have discussed Evangel and the Dome more than once.

If you have a point please make it instead of making these cryptic post.

I may have missed a few. Not sure about down south. Some of the above are now playing 8 man football. I had heard that Prairie View will be getting out of the Miss. system before this new deal came up.

Yes. They seem to be holding their own. I think oil field money a few years ago helped them out a lot.

No doubt the LHSAA has had poor leadership in the past (mainly K.H.), and I'm not so sure about the new guy, but there's no denying that private schools have a distinct advantage over "most" public schools as far as athletics go. I believe the best option is to have no split, and to actually enforce the rules already in place.

How difficult would it be to just make students prove that they are not getting "scholarships" to attend private schools?

Very difficult I imagine. The problem is not where they attend, it's how they attend.

Magnet and Charter schools have an advantage over privates and Catholics. Even then Catholics can choose to waive tuition. I suppose Evangel, Calvery, and some of the others do that too.
