If a child is showing that he is making the grades and performing academically, there is no reason to hold the kid back. The high school is there for an academic education not an athletic education. Keep in mind that sports are simply an extra-curricular activity and not a necessity to a high school education. That, my friend, is the fact.Originally Posted by maddawg
This sounds like a North La. problem to me when you consider that, according to you, North La. schools dominated high school football, it didn't matter which school was dominating to the schools in South La. As a matter of fact, I never heard any complaints about transfers to other schools from coaches in South La. It wasn't until Evangel started getting these players that other schools started to complain. These other schools were the North La. schools that were losing the players. NOT the South La. schools. Another fact.Originally Posted by maddawg
That is a crazy rule, I'll agree, however, once again, it is only hurting the schools in North La because now Evangel is playing up in class it's hurting West Monroe, Ruston, Byrd, etc... Soooo, it looks like it's the people in North La who are moving the LHSAA. After all, what difference does it make to the schools from South La. if Evangel, West Monroe, Byrd, etc... wins. They are all from the north.Originally Posted by maddawg
Finally, something we can agree on. See ya Thursday. You gonna have some hot links or just gumbo? What do you need me to bring? By the way, I was just kidding about the education remark in my previous post. I know fully well that you all were ready for complete sentences at 20 and not 25.Originally Posted by maddawg
