The first round of Division I girls basketball playoffs will begin with one game. The winner of that game will join all the other playoff team in the quarterfinals. Actually there is no round I like there is for the public schools. Division I actually begins in round 2 with just the one game.
What a said commentary about the LHSAA. I don't guess we should really expect more the the LHSAA principals ........ after all these are the same people who keep Louisiana ranked near the bottom of education in the US, year, after year, after year .............

If they want 16 team brackets they can have them. It's all up to them now.

what they need to do is require a minimum number of wins for each sport where we have a split now...
like 3 wins in football or 10 in basketball and baseball... and have it apply to both select and nonselect
that way every playoff team shows some level of competence. byes aren't the problem for me, it's having every team included and the meaningless regular season it creates

Selects vote on select playoffs, non-selects only vote on non-select playoffs.

I think they are afraid that if some of the teams that got used to being able to say they made the playoffs and now can't they may decide to not vote the way they are wanted to.

What are they going to do, draft teams in to fill out brackets. The system we have now is for the publics, by the publics, and of the publics. Yeah, it is easy to see why we are near the bottom of public school education in this U.S.

I believe so, the parlamentarian ruled a few years ago that 2A could not split their playoffs on their own. I'm pretty sure that would apply here.

They have been complaining for a while about this, now they can fix it.

Why would the privates care what goes on in the public bracket? I personally could care less what the public "Principal's" do with their bracket. I was just stating an opinion that I don't think they will try "tweak" their side due to the fact that a lot of schools that are getting used to "making" the playoffs wouldn't appreciate being left out.

A lot of public schools like the split but don't like the current format. Most would rather the 16 team brackets.

I hope you're right, I've heard that quite a lot on this board, but until I see it come up for a vote and pass I'll never believe it. Still think that the new "factory" schools are going to fight it so they don't become the new "schools with an unfair advantage".

Correction. Most players and coaches want the 16 team brackets. Administration types don't know what they want.

Administration types don't know what they want. a place like Calvary Baptist should know after sending 8th graders on a Shreveport-NOLA trip after finishing what, 1-18 during the season? or the school that got fined $1,000 for forfeiting with a winless team? those are select schools, but i'm sure nonselect will have their own stories too...

I would have liked to see the Oakley plan pass but perhaps next time. On the public side their going to get as close to a 32 team bracket as they can every time. The select side just needs fewer Divisions. I don't follow basketball closely but there seems to be the same complaints as there are with the football brackets. 1st round blowouts happened every year before the split and will continue to happen in a 32 team bracket. In football the biggest gap between the top teams and the bottom teams seems to be at the small school level. A lot of people keep arguing for 16 team brackets but I've said before that a 24 team bracket would make more sense. Perhaps it could work for basketball as well. However expect more of the same for the playoffs in baseball and softball as there have been for basketball. At least for the 1st round or 2.

Wow! Evangel and Scottlandville, who just got through playing for the Football State Championship, have both made it to the quarterfinals of girls basketball.
Wait a minute, this will be their first playoff game ...... because they are starting in the quarterfinals.
So far only 2 teams have played a game in Division I, while 48 teams have played games in 5A. But it does not matter just so long as the public schools are happy.

When will it be a final straw. Private schools time to go into that big world of our own. Or stop complaining about the low quality of the playoffs. We have freedom of association, use it.

Dog probably dying of Coolant poisoning, circle, circle circle.

I don't think the privates are a dying dog. But if that's how you feel..... I actually think if they start their own league they might come out of all this better off.

But Thanks to self serving, leaders we are going though segregation and discrimination.

They have been complaining for a while about this, now they can fix it. Again, as I've said before: the playoffs being watered down is a side effect of a bad solution to a problem. Making them technically less watered down by reducing the number of teams isn't really a solution. Before, we hD a system where a few teams were really dominant in their divisions on an annual basis. Now, we have a system where those same schools are still dominant but we also have poor teams in a playoff. Now we want to fix it by trimming the playoffs. What does that have to do with competitive imbalance?

What does that have to do with competitive imbalance? And it will never change. The same schools will continue to dominate on each side of the equation. But now you are just spreading out trophies. As I said before, it is past time we make it permanent and live by our own rules instead of the ones forced on us by public school principals.
