They a small school would also be 1-A. Cristo Rey Franciscan is Redemptorist 2.0 They will be playing football most likely 2-A maybe 1-A. All in Baton Rouge Possible District Changes With 6-1A, Central Private and Thrive Academy will be 1A will Cristo Rey being 2A or 1A. A little background... Thrive Academy is a boarding school for troubled youth that opened in 2016. We all know Central Private. See evergreen's comment for Cristo Rey Franciscan Baton Rouge International is a school similar to International HS of New Orleans who is already in the LHSAA Central Private: 6-1A Thrive Academy: 6-1A Cristo Rey Franciscan: 8-2A or 6-1A (Will depend on enrollment) Baton Rouge International: 8-2A, 7-B, or 8-C (Will depend on enrollment)

Central Private hired the principal of Central from Baton Rouge David Prescott. He had near 40 years in the public school system and retired. Now he will be principal at a private school about 5 miles from Central.
Central Private has good basketball and baseball teams. Football, maybe once every 8-10 years they are good. He hired a few good coaches that he is friends with.

Interesting that Central Private would leave the MAIS to move into the LHSAA. I wonder if this will start a trend with other Louisiana private schools that are playing in the MAIS?

MAIS is no longer a viable place for Central Private to be. Now that LHSAA has gone with the split, there is an opportunity for reasonable success in football along with their other sports that they do well plus they get to travel closer and play teams that are most familiar with whom they want to play.

It most certainly will. When MAIS created 8 man it pretty much ruined the schedules for those schools especially in Louisiana. They had no criteria as to who could move into that division. If a MAIS school has the ability in sports and the numbers they should apply to the LHSAA. I am not sure what other small Louisiana MAIS schools are left that could make the switch. Central Private made sense for all involved.

I don't know how big or small any of these schools are or if they play football or not, but these are the Louisiana schools that I know of playing in the MAIS: The ones I know play football are in bold. School name - Location Ben's Ford Christian School - Bogalusa Bowling Green School - Franklinton Briarfield Academy - Lake Providence Central School - Grand Cane Central Private - Central Claiborne Academy - Haynesville Franklin Academy - Winnsboro Glenbrook - Minden Oak Forest Academy - Amite Prairie View Academy - Bastrop Providence Classical Academy - Bossier City River Oaks School - Monroe Riverdale Adacemy - Coushatta Riverfield Academy - Rayville Silliman Institute - Clinton Tallulah Academy - Tallulah Tensas Academy - St. Joseph Union Christian Academy - Farmerville There may be others, I'm not sure.

Most the schools not in bold play 8 man MAIS football. The only feasible moves to LHSAA out of that group would be Riverfield, River Oaks, Glenbrook, & Prairie View. I don’t know how big their football rosters are but one would assume around 20 to 25 kids. The other schools that are in 8 man and don’t have the year in and year out depth on their rosters to make the switch. Even then playing with 25 kids in 1A LHSAA would be a pretty tough road to hoe even in 1A select. Riverfield has a very good team last year. They would probably have the most potential in terms of enrollment size. They would have the depth as well. Riverfield competed in 3A MAIS which is basically the LHSAA comparable to 1A/2A select. They made it to the playoffs and lost in the quarterfinals. They were the beneficiary of that charter school closing down nearby a few years ago. They would be a prime candidate to go to the LHSAA without any depth concerns. River Oaks has been down over the last several years however they did win district. They have historically been very successful and have fielded very talented and well coached teams that could have easily handled a current 1A select LHSAA schedule if managed properly. Their team lost in the first round to Prairie View. A move for River Oaks is very feasible. They have looked into making the move in the past and decided its best that they just stay. Prairie View just lost a huge class from last year that made the quarterfinals in 2A. They won 9 or 10 sum odd games last year. I don’t know their current thoughts for applying to the LHSAA. It would be only feasible if they had pretty strong middle school and lower class coming in to make the switch but that kinda goes with the anove mentioned as well. Glenbrook had an awful team from last year. There is a huge amount of competition in Shreveport/Minden area for kids so it’s hard for them to keep the doors open but there isn’t much justification on playing football there when you can play in the LHSAA and go to Calvary, North Caddo, Loyola, Evangel, Captain Shreve etc. The best candidates that I would pay attention to would be Riverfield and River Oaks in North Louisiana but who knows. They have stayed in MAIS and have not changed for a long time. I am kind of surprised that they haven’t looked into it when the LHSAA split from public to private.

The split mongers with need to get beyond it when it comes to extremely small schools. They need to put all the small schools together public and private, it would make a great league. Let’s go to Singapore and work this out.

Let’s go to Singapore and work this out. 😂 It can very well happen. I know the small MAIS schools fairly well. They definitely could use the help in offering their athletes a chance to compete locally. Cross town rivalries are everything in HS football. That’s the one drawback with playing in the MAIS league other than travel expenses and hardship that it puts on fans and parents to travel long distances. I don’t see any way Glenbrook would be anything other than a cellar dweller in 1A select but you would get some great games and fan turnouts if Riverfield & River Oaks traveled to play St Freds, Dbonne Woods, OCS, Cedar Creek & Delhi etc. It makes perfect sense. I don’t see why Prarie View, River Oaks, and Glenbrook would stay in MAIS especially if they forced their hand like they have when they kept throwing schools into the 8 man leagues.

Ben's Ford Christian School Enrollment 9-12: 100 Bogalusa Possibility : Could compete in middle of district
Bowling Green School Enrollment 9-12: 115 Franklinton Possibility : Same as Ben's Ford at best. Most likely would be bottom living.
Briarfield Academy Enrollment 9-12: 41 Lake Providence Possibility: Would have to open to students from General Trass to even play LHSAA football. Still teams like General Trass would tune up on them.
Central School 9-12: 33 Grand Cane Possibility: Class C school only a bottom dweller.
Central Private Enrollment 9-12: 104 Central Possibility: Will be a 1-A school soon praying for a district with East Iberville, Slaughter, and Ascension Christian......and Not Southern Lab and Kentwood.
Claiborne Academy Enrollment 9-12: 71 Haynesville Possibility: Haynesville is a tornado town! Ringgold would even be happy to see them. However if they open enrollment could get a few athletes to be 5th or 6th in district.
Franklin Academy Enrollment 9-12: 67 Winnsboro Possibility: Would just replace University Academy. It would take years to change!
Glenbrook School Enrollment 9-12: 100 Minden Possibility: Could compete! They could get players from Minden High. It would be awesome to see them play St Fred's and Cedar Creek. Could be 3rd or 4th in district!
Oak Forest Academy Enrollment 9-12: 186 Amite Possibility: Could Compete! They have a large base and could get a few more players from Amite and Indy. At best would be 4th.
Prairie View Academy Enrollment 9-12: 110 Bastrop Possibility: Could Compete! They could pull kids from Bastrop and Sterlington.
Providence Classical Academy Enrollment 9-12: Just starting a high school Bossier Possibility: Would be a B school but I see them starting football soon Calvary would hurt from this, however it would be a long time before anything would ever happen.
River Oaks School Enrollment 9-12: 97 Monroe Possibility: Could Compete! They could get more kids if they were in LHSAA.
Riverdale Academy Enrollment 9-12: 102 Coushatta Possibility: Could Compete! This would drop Red River to 1-A
Riverfield Academy Enrollment 9-12: 84 Rayville Possibility: Would Not be able to compete. Rayville High is the main draw in the town.
Stillman Institute Enrollment 9-12: 130 Clinton Possibility: Could Compete if other MIAS schools jump.
Tallulah Academy Enrollment 9-12: 83 Tallulah Possibility: Not Likely to poor of a parish
Tensas Academy Enrollment 9-12: 49 St Joseph Possibility: Not Likely to poor of a parish and not enough kids to pull from.
Union Christian Academy Enrollment 9-12: 69 Farmerville Possibility: only if they dropped football and went class C.

I’m familiar with Rayville and Riverfield is larger than River Oaks and by a long shot. They are better at this point than most of those schools.

It is what they reported in 2015 for federal aide programs it was the only info I could get besides some internet site like best schools .com. Riverfield is way bigger when you add the elementary.

Rayville High is the main draw in the town. I'm gonna let you finish, I just need to correct some stuff. Riverdale is historically bad in football. Maybe they could compete in some other stuff, they might can play basketball in a weak district. But football-wise, Ringgold and Northwood Lena would do a happy dance to see these people on the schedule. Riverfield is in zero competition with Rayville high over students. The people who go to Rayville high have no interest in Riverfield and vice versa. Mangham on the other hand is a big draw away from RA.

Yeah he is right. Riverfield has shot up in enrollment since they closed down that Charter School. They always have been bigger than River Oaks however more so than probably ever.

Riverfield has not shut down a charter school yet, Delhi charter is still alive and kicking. That would be the only charter school in Richland Parish. River Oaks would most definately struggle in the LHSAA (IE: St. Fred’s, OCS, Sterlington, ETC)

Let’s go to Singapore and work this out. the small schools need it though. The difference between playing with what you have and bringing kids in is amplified the fewer kids you have

My bad on the charter school closing I must have gotten bad information on that. Sterlington will be 5A before it’s all said and done with that place is growing like a weed. OCS hanging in there. Definitely fielding better teams lately. St Freds not so much they basically are having the same issues as River Oaks and Riverfield just a slightly larger version of it.
