I think a lot of this is s hoping certain teams move up or down. . I don't really think this thread has much to do with the "" narrative. It's just common sense. School size is absolutely a factor in balanced competition do you disagree? If school size and balance of competition was a factor then why is it not in the case of 3A private schools being forced to play 4A schools in the playoffs? And givin the fact of the history of on this forum I think I can conclude that a lot of the comments are more of a wish list than based on actual enrollment numbers.

And all it takes is a little common sense to see with the smaller amount of privates to balance the numbers the classes are drawn wider. If there were more privates than 3-a size wouldn't be playing 4-a size. If we are keeping the current setup (I hope we don't) than we need to condense down even more. Get rid of 1 class in public and 1-2 in private.

While that describes some. Others simply want equality of rules and procedures. Anyway I think we need to come up with the counter term to Dodge baller's lol. I say we call people who refuse to examine the major issues with the old system as "Ostiches" since they would rather stick their head in the sand then have an honest discussion lol. Come on let's make this thing stick and make Indy's head explode.

The current system has no enforcement of zones by the LHSAA. zones vs no zones was the whole premise of the split. Oak Grove May have a semblance of a zone and half way follow it, but there is a good chance y’all will get beat by a public school with no borders. Now what? Re split? Trying to find 60 teams with exact structure is impossible, certain teams will work the current system (or lack of)and gain an edge.

That still doesn't mean the old system was right and didn't need changing. I believe it could have been fixed without the split and i wish it had. But if it's split or old system exactly how it was I'll take split no matter how crappy it is and it is crappy

Here is how I feel about some of these schools, just my opinion going off enrollment numbers Done Deals (These are schools that were right on the line last time around and should move in classification. Mamou will drop back to 2A and J-H should go back up. WO was the largest school in 4A and only missed being a 5A school by around 3 kids so I think they are the most likely to go out of everyone. LCA is already at 2A according to most I have heard from so they should be moving up. With all the "Death of an Athletic Program" talk since Southside opened I think Comeaux is gonna drop down to 4A.) West Ouachita: 4A to 5A Comeaux: 5A to 4A Mamou: 3A to 2A Madison Parish: 3A to 2A Jonesboro-Hodge: 1A to 2A Lafayette Christian: 1A to 2A Likely These are the schools that have a good chance of moving in classification but I wouldn't say it is a definite yet. Port Barre and Amite seem to be the most likely of this group to move in classification. Riverdale: 4A to 5A Northside: 4A to 3A Loranger: 3A to 4A Avoyelles: 3A to 2A Port Barre: 3A to 2A Amite: 2A to 3A Ville Platte: 2A to 3A Houma Christian: 1A to 2A Ouachita Christian: 1A to 2A Oak Grove: 1A to 2A Possible These are the schools that could realistically change classification but I'm not sure that they will yet. Woodlawn-BR is the most realistic to move back down to 4A. Eunice and Crowley historically flip flop between 4A and 3A so we'll just have to see with them. Vidalia and Port Allen going back up is very possible and it wouldn't be the first time Menard was in 3A. Woodlawn-BR: 5A to 4A Broadmoor: 5A to 4A St. Michael the Archangel: 4A to 3A Eleanor McMain: 4A to 3A North Vermilion: 3A to 4A Crowley: 3A to 4A Eunice: 3A to 4A Cohen: 2A to 3A Vidalia: 2A to 3A Holy Savior Menard: 2A to 3A Delhi Charter: 2A to 1A Vermilion Catholic: 1A to 2A Westminster Christian: 1A to 2A Port Allen: 2A to 3A Unlikely These are the schools that have been brought up that I don't think are very likely to change classification. I feel that Sterlington has nothing to gain by playing up into a district with Neville for football and possibly West Ouachita for baseball. They are in a good spot where they are at. Benton could have 5A in its future, but the future isn't now. Jennings has flip flopped to 4A in the past but looking at the last enrollment numbers they aren't close enough barring a dramatic increase in students. Calvary has been inching closer to 1A but I think they may play up to 2A even if they dropped to 1A numbers. Buckeye continues to grow and I think they are here to stay in 4A. Benton: 4A to 5A Buckeye: 4A to 3A Jennings: 3A to 4A Pine Prairie: 3A to 2A Beekman Charter: 2A to 3A Calvary Baptist: 2A to 1A Bastrop: 4A to 3A Sterlington: 3A to 4A (By Choice) Rayville: 2A to 3A Loyola Prep: 3A to 2A Northwest: 3A to 4A Madison Prep: 3A to 4A McDonogh #35: 4A to 3A Glen Oaks: 3A to 2A Bogalusa: 3A to 2A Tara: 4A to 3A This could make some interesting districts in Lafayette area. North Vermillion 4A Comeaux 4A, Crowley 4A with Northside down to 3A.

He just likes making soap, keeps killing that dead horse. Just remember the five D's of : "Dodge", "Duck", "Dip", "Dive", and..."Dodge". Having been a multi time PE champion, you forgot the two most important skills of DB: Block with ball and catch. Just catch the dang thing and you are not out. I know there may be different rules in different regions.
