LOL! the private schools, kicked to the curb by the public schools, made off like bandits with playoff revenues while the pubic schools made almost nothing! Poetic justice!

There are some good points in that agenda. The assholes at Many HS (and Winnfield too, as I recall) filed the lawsuit that created the stupid separation and yes, Many should be forced into the select classification too because they have exclusive hold on all of Sabine Parish. Karma, baby!

That would also put Ruston in select along with Oak Grove, General Trass, Madison, and Franklin. I’m sure there are others.

Caldwell and Catahoula

All of the public schools in Lafayette Parish, which uses the academy system. Acadiana and Carencro would be Select.

Alexandria Senior High, as well. Students in Rapides Parish can attend any high school in the parish.

Ruston not mentioned. They are certainly "select" when it comes to football.

Go back to the way it was pre-2012. Schools can choose to play up, like Evangel did years ago, and Curtis certainly should play in 5A despite their enrollment, but mostly everyone plays in a class based on enrollment. Worked just fine for decades.

@ktbs ; Here's the official lists for select and non-select schools for the LHSAA after last week's definition change.

Every Caddo Parish school besides Northwood are now considered select.

HD: The split was all driven by smaller schools when Evangel and Curtis were down in their classes. The principals at Many and Winfield in particular.

Here is the list and an article out of NOLA:

What this really exposes is who should have been select all along.

And there is a lot of talk about state championships won by some schools and the question being raised is if they really are legitimate.

A lot of it centers around Lafayette Parish.

In the early 90s, Carencro created an all-star team using the Minority to Majority transfer program in Lafayette parish when almost everyone else in the state was still using attendance zones. When Carencro's program fell apart, Acadiana picked up the mantle using that same program. In the academy program in Lafayette Parish, Acadiana was able to build a parish wide all-star team for years, winning state championships. Then Carencro won a title in 4A two years ago. It would be as if one or two teams were created using the population bases of Lincoln, Union, and Quachita parishes combined.

The example cited most has been Acadiana's 2019 state championship team. It's been repeated over and over again on sports talk radio in south Louisiana - 13 of their 22 starters came from outside their attendance zone.

And if that were to happen, fine. Have NO PROBLEM with teams earning it on the field.
