The LHSAA has discussed using a new system to determine districts for the next cycle (2019-20), based strictly on mileage. No human element or proposals would be used to select districts. Anyone have information or has seen a mock ?

Anyone have information or has seen a mock ? They definitely need to do away with the regional coaches whining, crying, input meetings.

Anyone have information or has seen a mock ? there still should be human input so the Catholic League can stay together... Among other situations.

Probably should be 80% google maps, 20% common sense, but the problem with that is we will have to go outside the LHSAA to find someone with common sense.

They could always make an exception for the Catholic league I don't see why anyone would argue against it that has been around for years

Was about to say most of the requests made are trying to convince the lhsaa to make a more sensible district. There’s been some real head scratchers over the years. Right now, if I’m not mistaken, block high which is the same parish as Sicily island high is not in the same district. But they are in district with logansport which is literally on the opposite side of the state.

If they put Block in same District with Sicily Island that District would've had 9 teams and the other District only 6. Nothing new there. When I was in school they put Iowa in a different district than us even though they were closer to us than any other 2A school in the State.

The districts in North Louisiana 1A for 2017-2018
DISTRICT 1: 1. Arcadia 2. Haynesville 3. Homer 4. Jonesboro-Hodge 5. Lincoln Preparatory 6. Plain. Dealing 7. Ringgold
DISTRICT 2: 1. Cedar Creek 2. Delhi 3. Delta Charter 4. Oak Grove 5. Ouachita Christian 6. Sicily Island 7. St. Frederick 8. Tensas
DISTRICT 3: 1. Block 2. LaSalle 3. Logansport 4. Montgomery 5. Northwood, Lena 6. St. Mary 7. University Academy
Looks like several teams had opponents closer in another district than teams in their own. That doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you had teams lobbying to get placed in a different district to avoid playing.

That doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you had teams lobbying to get placed in a different district to avoid playing. Cedar Creek was supposed to be in District 1 since they’re literally 5 mins away from Lincoln Prep, 30 mins from JH, 30 mins from Arcadia, and 40 mins from Homer. That’s all opposed to 4 trips well over an hr. Seems to me that CC was dodging some teams.

The only legit team in district 1-1A is Haynesville - J-Hodge would be a middle-of-the-pack at best without the split - how is is Creek is dodging if getting into a district with 2 legit teams in 2-1A? (Oak Grove and Ouachita Christian) - even if you do count JH as "legit" that would still be an even swap, so that logic makes no sense, sorry try again.

They got to even out the districts some how and some teams get the short end of the distance stick. Then you got situations like St. Eds, who played in the Opelousas district for a long time when Elton, Basile, and Oberlin closer because those teams refused to play St. Eds. Then you got Slaughter playing in a much farther district because the LHSAA had mercy on a first time program and didnt put them with powerhouses like Southern Lab, Kentwood, and Ascension Catholic even though they are closer. Then you got schools like DeRidder, Leesville, Pickering, Rosepine, and Oakdale who are in between Lake Charles and Alexandria and get flip flopped between those districts

It’s dodging since they didn’t want to play Haynesville, JH and even Arcadia cause Arcadia beat them the year prior and CC didn’t want that embarrassment again. They would rather pay for gas to drive further distances than to get embarrassed again. And they also wanted to get away from pretty much everybody for basketball season. Sounds like dodging to me, so you try again.

I've never understood logansport in district 3 either. It hslas to be at least 2 hours to every team other than st. Mary Logansport is just stuck in between. It would be about the same if they had play in the northern district.
