The problem is it was the only private school in a non-private school area.

Yes, and I understand that's a big problem. In my opinion, I don't think "private school recruiting" i.e. offering "scholarships" to the best players in the area, should be allowed at all, whether there's one private school in the community, or many like in Baton Rouge unless there is more of a level playing field. Even the large public high schools in this area who must play the private schools are at a big disadvantage. It's like going up against a small college. And I have zero respect for any high school coach, athletic department, or administration who play fast & loose with the rules of this so-called "recruiting." It's bad enough that it is so prevalent in colleges, but it should absolutely not be tolerated at the high school level. That is just my $.02.

And they just exude everything that's wrong with the Cross Church and its cult.

This is deplorable.
For some members of an institution of worship to act in a manner that goes against its entire purpose and message, particularly regarding a game, is beyond pathetic. It sounds as though some are worshipping something and someone other than what they should be. For some of the members of that church and community to perpetuate such derision and animosity among their congregation and citizens over this issue is shameful. No community or church should allow something so trivial to divide them. Ludicrous.
