Re: LHSAA Football Brackets
What a frickin joke.
No so-called "champion" can claim anything this year.
Re: LHSAA Football Brackets
I just had a thought, since there were only 25 teams in the 1A playoffs, and looked up the lowest seeded team. They made it in with a 1-9 record, without a single victory in DISTRICT......
Re: LHSAA Football Brackets
Maybe the lesson here is to rest all of your players from about game 7-10. Then you have the healthiest team possible for a playoff run.
Re: LHSAA Football Brackets
please note that there are 8 byes in the bracket...that indicates that there were not enough teams to fill out a 32 team bracket which the LHSAA mandates so everybody finishes in the dome together...EVERYBODY IN THAT CLASS MADE THE PLAYOFFS.
Re: LHSAA Football Brackets
That even furthers the point, it made the playoffs a "everybody wins as long as they existed" award
Re: LHSAA Football Brackets
So will Henderson and the LHSAA fine the schools that decided not to participate in the playoffs? They should, but I bet they don't.

Lusher, another District 11-3A school to pre-qualify for the Division II playoffs, opted not to participate in the postseason due to an injury-depleted roster, according to LHSAA Assistant Executive Director B.J. Guzzardo.
Quote:
In all seven schools opted not to participate in the playoffs in advance of Saturday’s 8 p.m. deadline, Guzzardo said. Mount Hermon in Class 2A and Gueydan and Tensas of Class 1A were the others.
“They just opted out of the playoffs,’’ Guzzardo said. “They don’t need a reason. They can just opt out.’’
Re: LHSAA Football Brackets
Q. Dear Maralee,People not responding to my invitations frustrate me. What is the etiquette of RSVP? Should I write on the invitation ”Regrets only,” or should people call to let me know either way? The upside to all of this is that my frustration has caused me to be much more aware of responding to the invitations I receive.
A. I’m with you! People’s insensitivity and rudeness to the efforts of someone extending hospitability to them is a top etiquette irk of mine. It’s also the number one etiquette complaint that participants share with me during my seminars and consultations.
RSVP translates loosely “Please Respond.” It means we need to let the person who invited us know if we’re attending or not.
How quickly should we respond? Within 24 hours.

Good job LHSAA, you've turned getting into the playoffs into nothing more than a participation trophy.

By LHSAA you mean the principals who voted in this stupid playoff plan for this year without reducing the number of classes first. The staff in Baton Rouge has to execute the stupidity as required by the legislation the principals approved.
Louisiana has 9 football champions (used to be 5 and that was already too many) for fewer teams than in Texas 5A alone (2 champions crowned).
