My opinion, the downfall of the LHSAA came down to one thing, selfishness. Principals/Coaches were more worried about helping themselves than actually doing what was best for the association as a whole. They saw it as an easy way to win state titles and make it to the Dome (both sides).
There are legitimate concerns and issues that need to be addressed, no one is disputing that. However, the selfishness of principals/coaches trying to get an easy trophy has trumped them actually trying to find legitimate solutions to the problems. This isn't just public school principals but principals on both sides.
Combine that with absolutely horrible leadership and it compounds the problems.

I do not see a new plan being voted in. Very one has continued to try and back door the majority of the LHSAA members that for the split. After one year Bonine came in and said give a year to look at it. Bonine took the year and waited until after the agenda was final to come out and say the split was not legal and the old play off system is back. Back door move. This made the majority very angree, but everyone felt that everyone should work together. After being back doored, NO. Now they call for another vote in June. If I was for the split I would have enough sense to see that the more you try to back door the majority the deeper they dig in.

There are differences in private schools as well as differences in public schools, I hope that you would agree to this. If you lump all private schools together as the solution then you aren't fixing the problem you are just moving the problem away from one group but not the association. I'm not saying you kick anyone out but enforcement, better enforcement of the rules would be a start. A plan like the Indiana plan that has been discussed in a different thread would be better than just splitting off 1/3 of the association.

But there are few private schools that bring alot of fans. Now I will wait for the name calling because that is what happens when you state your opinion.

My son has attended Catholic school since daycare, we have supported the different schools by attending different events. The High school that he attends does travel well as do some public schools. At a few road games, we have had more fans in the stands than the home team but never had more on the visitor side at home games. Some schools both public & private travel well while others don't, so I won't say money is the issue. I believe it's because instead of id'ing the problem and finding a solution the LHSAA voted to move the problem away from some schools when a better solution could have been found.

We and the LHSAA have spent YEARS now trying to "fix" what the vast majority of shareholders want instead of tweaking this new format. As far as "moving the problem so the smaller private schools have to deal with it", I disagree. We have seperated on how schools attain, deny, and retain enrollment. That is really very, very, simple. Now, if you asked certain posters on this board there is nothing to fix, there are no problems. So, lets tweak what the majority has voted on an passed no less than 3 times now, and shorly will again in June. Enough of this Charlatan Bonine. He has ostracized the inner staff of the LHSAA, fired randomly, hired randomly, and drawn a line in the sand with over half of his voting members. Its time to move on. Tweak what we have, find a new director, and work for the betterment of our kids.

Here is what you said & I replied on another thread....I support something like the Indiana plan more than the split but I am open to other ideas. Just not really anything to talk about. Keeping hearing this idea, what about this idea. Why not talk about how to improve the split, because it is here and not going anywhere. 1. Balance the brackets so everone has the same number of playoff games 2. Develope a competition committe 3. Have the competition committe but teams in correct classification. Some need to go up and some need to go down. 4. Play championship same weekend or rotate. 5. Once they have a handle on that may look at placing teams in correct playoff bracket. OK, lets look at your list. 1. Balance brackets.....The brackets for "select" side is 16, if we make the "non-select" 16 I have no problem with that, lets start that Fall 2016. Just remember that Division I "select 5A" only has 9 teams. 2. Comp Committee....That's basically what this plan does, at least in the moving the more successful teams up for competition. At least for 2 years, or next reclassification period. 3. Same as # 2 except the moving down part, I'm not sure how this would work but am open to ideas. 4. If you have the brackets with the same #, unless either "select" or "non-select" has a bye put in somewhere they will be on same weekend. 5. Not sure what you mean by "placing teams in correct playoff bracket" can mean unless your going to move some "select" schools to "non-select" bracket and vice versa. That would mean ending the split as it is known and I'm not sure you will get much support from the "split side" I hope some other people can look at this and see if this can be the beginning of putting together a plan.

But what you won't keep is the slightly more than 1/3rd of the members and associated revenue and fees the LHSAA charges Private schools. The financial hurt that will be place upon the LHSAA in the next two years will be astronomical and is potentially catastrophic. Unless of course, they operate at a 50% profit margin now. If so, then they have been gouging their members and there needs to be an accounting.

I am open to ideas to improving the split, which I thought I was doing showing another way to fix the problem.

Yes,but instead of working to ease tension and "improve" the split, you guys have extended the split and made it impossible for private schools to accept it. Many still think the split is about fair play, but it is not about how we enroll students or which students lives in what zone. Those things have been addressed in detail by the LHSAA in a fair and approved manner. Instead, it is about removing private schools from competition from public schools and ultimately from the association. Private schools either will remain in the association as a second class citizen, paying the same exact fees and splits as public schools but not be given the same benefits or they move to their own association. The public school principals as a whole have stopped trying to be reasonable and are now working toward elimination. It is a fascist movement trying to silence its opposition through intimidation, false accusation and name calling threats.

I know that I am only talking about two teams that make the championship, but a 15 games season is brutal on kids. Especially in small schools that have kids playing all sports. We did the math on one kid at our school that started as freshman, it you count jamborees and scrimmages he played in over 60 games in high school. I know that is the exception, but still that is hard on a high school kid. I think 4 rounds of playoff games is more than enough.

In 2004, the LHSAA decided to pass a rule that schools (Evangel and John Curtis) would no longer be allowed to play up in classification and be forced back down to 1A and 2A. In an attempt to hurt the football factories, in actuality it gave them strength because players now basically had a guarantee to go to the Dome. Who wouldn't want that? The decision itself, as dumb as it was to send the 2004 4A and 5A champs to 1A and 2A, was not the demise. No, the demise was the timing of the decision which will go down as the worst timed decision of all time in LHSAA history. Let's focus on Evangel, since 1993 to 2004 ECA went to the Dome 10 times on a historic rise from 1A to 5A, 4 undefeated 15-0 record seasons, and back to back to back to back to back consecutive all american quarterbacks. Unheard of!!!!! And it was, truly a special time but it all came at a cost. With such a fast rise, comes a great fall. Evangel lived on the fence and bent every rule. They were recruiting kids left and right such as Eric Jefferson and becoming a monster. Egos got too big to the point till finally, implosion. Former head coach Johnny Booty left and Evangel has never been the same since. Half the talent is now divided in Shreveport and Evangel, whose entire identity was in the great play of the Quarterback, since 2002, has never had another QB receive a power 5 division 1 scholarship. So let me paint this picture, had the LHSAA just waited literally 1 more year for Evangel to implode, Evangel would have never won another state title since 2004. If they would have just waited one more year, all those teams that Evangel beat, would have got their chance to really stick it to them. Paul Turners West Monroe team could have beat them by 50 just like every out of state team Evangel scheduled started doing. If they would have just waited one more year, district teams such as Byrd, Airline, Captain Shreve, Ruston, would have all started to beat Evangel making it that much sweeter to take down the once former giant. If they would have just waited one more year, they would not have pissed off the entire lower classifications by forcing them to play the great powers that be. Instead Evangel, who only continued to win because they were playing in 1A and 2A became a problem even with just being a really good team without the specialness it once had. Now the lower class never wants anything to do with all privates because of ECA, the higher class still hurt by what ECA did to them in the 90s and 00s wants nothing to do with them either and will vote on anything that keeps them out. So now you have the entire state pissed because of one terribly timed and ic decision. That's why there is no solution, just chaos. I bet you this, if there was no Evangel, we would still have the regular 5 classifications. Thats why I need not mention John Curtis in this breakdown, they weren't the major problem, it was Evangel who single handedly destroyed the LHSAA because of the LHSAA. That's a lie. It's not incorrect, it's a lie. I went there then and I know what all went on. You're either breaking a rule or you arent. There is no "bending". did they play to the rules down to the wire? yes. They followed the rules. They continue to follow the rules. All the "recruiting" accusations are garbage. With as many times as that's been looked at, re-looked at, and looked at 100X more, there's nothing to it. Why do you think that is? Because the LHSAA loves Evangel? Not hardly. So really, know what you're talking about before you start typing. Booty. Was he an integral part of ECA in the early years? You bet. Did the success hinge on him? Not by a long shot. He left, took some people and some money people with him and it hurt. But being forced down hurt a lot more. One thing I noticed was that once Booty and most of the money folks left Evangel, so did the constant accusations of ECA being "cocky" and "arrogant". So I think it was for the best that they vacated. As a fan from the first snap, I don't miss it. 1 more year wouldn't have done anything. Other than a few close games with Byrd, everybody else in SB 5A would have still been rolled by ECA. You give Booty way more credit than he deserves. Again, he's a great coach and his kids were great players. ECA offenses were set up often around kids with the last name Booty. But there was a lot more to it than that. And to clarify, I don't think anyone beat ECA since then by 50. There were maybe 5 games in that time where ECA had 50+ hung on them, but it still wasn't a 50 point loss. I could maybe understand the other inaccuracies in your post, because you just don't know what you're talking about. But scores from all those years are available on the internet. So that's just stupid to even suggest ECA losing by 50 all the time since 2004.

I say money. Public schools bring more fans to games. Not saying all private schools do not. But there are few private schools that bring alot of fans. Now I will wait for the name calling because that is what happens when you state your opinion. But they have never been able to work on improving the split. It has just be a fight at ever turn to keep it. If the majority wants the split then everyone needs to work towards improving the system. you're being disingenuous when you say you have to fight to keep the split... you've had the number of votes to always do so and about improving it... you've had three years of it. what is your idea? like it or not, the private schools can take their ball and make a new home. just having the split in football wasn't ideal, but it was a compromise, which in turn yall shat all over in January by voting to split everything else. Now they have to do what they have to do. what that rank and file doesn't understand is that a well-run new organization open to all will leave the LHSAA in the dust. Tiger Stadium is just as iconic as the Dome and you know it's available the first week of December

Tiger Stadium is just as iconic as the Dome and you know it's available the first week of December Bonine took one of the years by said, "give me a year to look at". What did he do he back doored everyone by saying the split was not legal. When did he do that, after the agenda came out for the LHSAA meeting and nothing could be added. So again they have to vote it back in. What are they doing June 8th, voting on it again. Every meeting they have the split is beign back doored, hoping that the numbers will not be there for vote.

Well at least give Bonine credit for trying to do what he was tasked to do. The fact is no one could have fixed what Henderson destroyed. Just like the next President won't be able to undue all that ruined.

He waited then issued an Ëxecutive Order It backfired
