1 out of 18 teams is a HORRIBLE showing for North Louisiana. There is no way to sugarcoat it. North Louisiana has approximately 28% of the teams in the LHSAA, and to only have 6% of the teams in the finals is an embarrassing showing.
Here are the results for the other 4 years since the SPLIT:
2016 - North Louisiana had 6 teams (33%) 2015 - North Louisiana had 4 teams (22%) 2014 - North Louisiana had 6 teams (33%) 2013 - North Louisiana had 8 teams (44%)
Here are the results for the 4 years preceding the SPLIT: (only 10 teams made the finals each year)
2012 - North Louisiana had 4 teams (40%)
2011 - North Louisiana had 4 teams (40%)
2010 - North Louisiana had 3 teams (30%)
2009 - North Louisiana had 4 teams (40%)
So statistically, North Louisiana has been over-represented in all but two of the last nine years.

6 out of 59. Back of the napkin math and memory notwithstanding, that's the number of North Louisiana schools in the playoff brackets for Divisions I,II, III, and IV (plus or minus a school or two. The five minutes I spent on this is already waaay more than I can justify.) That's almost half (4 of 9 or 44.4%) of all possible championships. Now what does that mean? It means that it is almost a stone cold lead pipe lock that a North LA team will have to travel south for most, if not all of their playoff games (again this is probability only and doesn't take seeding into consideration.) Now, what if New Orleans had to drive to Shreveport 3 weeks in a row or Crowley had to drive to Monroe? It's sucks donkey butt and if you had to do it you'd lose your mind. If this happened year in and year out to South LA there'd be rioting, pestilence and blood would flow freely on the highway. But I digress. The simple fact is that North LA has very few select schools. You can't throw a rock in South LA without hitting one. The probability of a South LA team finishing in the top 2 and playing in the Dome is, at least statistically speaking, a given.

So my guess is that we won't see But a handful of North Louisiana fans in the dome.
Question: Where's the "dividing line" that sepetates north from south? Is it the Alexandria area?

The south has always been better in football, and they will always be better. No need to even debate this.

South LA is like your gym selfie avatar- big, in the foreground and self absorbed. North LA is like the girl behind you- kind of in the background but the one you really want to go home with.

You are right, the south is exactly like my avatar. Big, Bad, strong, and has a bad attitude with a killer mentality and definitely someone you don't want to cross on the wrong night. .....and the girl is definitely someone we all would like to go home with

During my son's 5 varsity seasons Calvary was 15-7 against teams from South LA , with 2 rings. For any other Division III South LA team to have that same record vs North LA they would have to beat (assuming they played teams at or above their class) Evangel, Byrd, Calvary, and Loyola 3-4 times. Each. See where I'm going with this? But thanks for hammering home my self absorbed point. Killer mentality? Don't want to cross? Love it!

If you live in North Louisiana you consider Alexandria the middle of the state and anything north or it is North Louisiana. But I went ahead and counted Alexandria area teams as the North, because many people from South Louisiana consider Lafayette the middle of the state.

It's hard though when your taking selfies in the mirror- where do you look? The mirror? The camera? The lense? Beauty is so confusing! I enjoy talking with you about you Southplaq , and I know it's your favorite subject, but this thread is about North LA versus South LA football. Maybe we could meet at the Anytime Fitness in Alexandria on leg day and hash it out?

I heard that only had treadmills, ellipticals, and yoga room, for the androgynous guys in leotards work out In. The real men work out at real gyms that don't have flowered wallpaper and scented candles. But to each its own.

I'd like to take a ride up there with you guys. Maybe we can find a gym out there and "hash out" legs!
