But lets put him against some real competition please.
I mean that's not the best team in the state but it's 5A Central and every tackler he ran over was 6' and in the 190-215 range.
It was 4th quarter and both teams were pretty gassed. Makes it more impressive on his part.

He was probably exhausted after running over, around, and from the entire defense on the 97-yd TD run.
:ahh:

everyone in 5a caught a big break....
Except Barbe...who voted for the split...which actually allowed Haughton to even make the playoffs...who eliminated Barbe...the irony!
JJ you're a good sport.
This is why we play the game. Central was a 3rd place team in their district.
Amazing story!

If there was no split they still wouldn't be playing each because John Curtis would be in 4A
After being FORCED to play 2A, when given the option JC played in 5A.
Years ago they played 4A because not all sports could compete. Not the case anymore

Sterlington beat OCS this year.
Likely would've won a combined playoff format.
Why did we split again?

Sterlington won 11-1
But public schools say they can't get kids outside of their zone.
How is Iowa pulling it off legally?

You are on crack. The best teams from 5A-C played a tournament and the best teams were class 5A-C State champions.
I'm laughing at myself now. I can't believe I fell for your troll job. I now realize you've been messing with me this whole time.

I agree and have not said otherwise.
My point was that you are supposed to win championships on the field.
But the LHSAA does not allow the kids to play it out to see who is the best and win the championship.

He did play them. And he won.
Ha! I hear ya! You also know what I'm saying.
And if we are playing that way...I didn't realize they played the state title game 6 weeks ago. Also didn't see where WM-Catholic played each other.
quote:
Since they couldn't just kick Curtis and Evangel out, every school in the state suffers.
Here's what I wish for after every state championship game, when the media interviews the winning coach and the 3-4 players.
"Congratulations 'Slade Bolden' on an incredible season and victory in today's title game. If you could play the winner of the Catholic-Curtis game to prove your team really is the best team in the state, would you like to do that?"
I guarantee he would say yes! Even if it meant there's a chance (although small this year) you might get beat, ultimate competitors want to play that game!

So you'd pick Catholic or Curtis over West Monroe? State championships are more meaningless now, but they all still want to be the best team
The LHSAA principals voted that West Monroe can't win a State Title if private schools are in the playoffs.
That's the whole thing with this split garbage. It doesn't let the kids play it out.

Owl...
Why in the world we create a new playoff system to get rid of inferior competition? The reason for the split at is absolute core is that (in the opinion of LHSAA principals) private school teams field better teams. If they didn't feel this way there would be no reason to split....that's why I said it's logical to assume that the division title is for the best team in the state.

You are full of shite. Thank you for clearing that up.
Actually...
You are still very unclear by what the LHSAA attendance zone policies are.
The LHSAA for quite some time has assigned attendance zones for eligibility. Anyone that attends a school for a calendar year is eligible at that school regardless of where they live.
So Evangel could have a kid living in Marshall, TX and he would be INELIGIBLE his first year at ECA. But would be ELIGIBLE the rest of his time.
This is accurate. This isn't an argument. The fact that you have misunderstood the eligibility rules of the LHSAA for a long time doesn't make me full of shite. It just means you're uninformed.
In regards to your friends opinions from outside of this state. In their states they would be right about the differences between private school ball and public school ball.
That would because in LA we are ranked near last in public education so in our highest populated areas many families choose for their children to attend private schools. Not to mention our long standing catholic schools which many are older than many public schools.

quote: Private schools are assigned the same attendance of the public school zone they are located in. So the schools address is like a home address. Whatever school the address would belong to is what zone the LHSAA assigns I disagree with you unless some of these rules were implemented the last couple of years. I lived in Shreveport when Evangel was owning 5A football. One of my good friend's son played on ECA and later on in college. I heard more recruiting stories than I could believe. Their zone went well beyond the S'port/Bossier metro. But whatever. Enjoy your Division Championships. Whatever those are. The public schools keep the real championship titles of 5A-1A.
You disagree with me?
Actually...That's not really an option. I explained the rules.
Evangel' zone has never been outside of the traditional attendance zone assigned by the LHSAA.
You can commute from to any school public or private from any part of the universe and be eligible after sitting a calendar year.
That is the difference disputed by public schools in favor of the split because a student could be admitted to a private school while living outside of the attendance zone but they CANNOT be admitted into their public school unless they live in that zone.
As for the recruiting stories that your friend told you. I bet some of them are based on truth. I bet some are false. I bet everyone of them has been exaggerated.
Simple logic says the Division Titles are awarded to the better teams compared to the State Titles.
If public schools thought they could routinely win titles with private schools in the same bracket they would not want the split.
That's what is so disappointing with West Monroe and Barbe not wanting to play together with all schools. They routinely beat the privates.
quote:
And what are the private school zones. The entire city of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette. Nice fertile recruiting grounds. For the rural private schools their zones are the entire parish the school is located in.
Actually...
You're incorrect again.
Private schools are assigned the same attendance of the public school zone they are located in. So the schools address is like a home address. Whatever school the address would belong to is what zone the LHSAA assigns.
Now, in areas like Recovery school districts, the school attendance zones that are drawn by the local school boards are bigger because the school boards are governing less schools.
Also for parishes like Rapides or Pointe Coupee where there is open enrollment or only one public school for the entire parish, then yes, those private schools would use the whole parish.
There are some exceptions for Catholic school students who attend Catholic elementary or middle schools but do not have a Catholic high school in their zone.
quote:
Sure, first they have to sit out a year or move to a home in that school district. Private schools have to do neither. They can just play immediately. And thus the split.
Actually...
Private schools have attendance zones assigned to them by the LHSAA and anyone who doesn't live in the zone must sit a calendar year.
Public school athletes RARELY must sit a year because they HAVE TO live in the correct zone in order to attend that school.
And thus the reason for the split...allegedly
quote:
have to call BS on that. Maybe the ACT scores have changed from when I graduated HS in '89 but I was in honors at a very good school and our average must have been around 28 with a much lower average for non honors students.
Went back and read their website...Top 20% of 2016 Grad's was 31. So not all honor students...1 of 5 Graduates.
