I’ll restate they can manipulate their enrollment if they need to. I don't think you are accurately portraying the situation when you say this. You make it sound as if someone is using a tally sheet and monitoring enrollment, drops and adds and taking action to keep the number at a certain point. I don't believe that is the case. However it is accurate (if what you describe as their enrollment procedures is accurate. I don't know, I don't live there) that they seem to be classified as a 2A school with a 4A football pool. Part of the split mantra was private schools can manipulate their enrollment, my point is pretty much any school can now, Public And Private. A private school stands to lose tuition if they do, whereas a public school doesn’t, so it’s more likely to happen in a public school.

I don't think public schools could deny enrollment as easily as you seem to think they could so that they can stay at a certain number. Plus, remember that classification is always fluid and relative. It isn't a hard number, but relative to everyone else.

Exactly it’s damn near impossible to actually do this but if you ask why is a private school “select” it’s because they can manipulate enrollment. Now you see this can’t really happen and is ridiculous.

Please enlighten me with your plan as to how a private school who was fourth from the top last time would successfully stay in the same classification?

Please enlighten me with your plan as to how a private school who was fourth from the top last time would successfully stay in the same classification? So if you’re 4th from the top, you must move up the next round? Maybe they had a big class? Maybe the had people move? Schools have moved up and down 2 classes in a matter of two years, there too many reasons to list why this could possibly happen.

If I’m 4th from the top in 3a how do I stay 3a? You do realize that there are literally hundreds of scenarios which this is possible. How many do I have list?

So you can know about school closings new schools and other schools enrollments? Theoretically yes. Theoretically, you could also lose kids to a local plant or refinery shutting its doors. But as I said before there are literally hundreds of theoretical reasons that are every bit as valid.

Do you feel a school to do this well enough to justify splitting them?
Because at first the narrative was private schools could take all the students but it switched to they could keep them out

Because at first the narrative was private schools could take all the students but it switched to they could keep them out That may your interpretation of the original narrative. That was never my narrative or my justification for the split. I can only speak for myself. My point on this thread is that your assessment of Many’s advantages to other schools is not nearly as big as you make it out to be and that your definition of “manipulating enrollment numbers” isn’t nearly as clear cut or definitive as you are trying to make it.

Regarding Many situation
I can see where you don’t think they have a glaring advantage. But going from your views and I don’t wanna put words in your mouth but even “select” schools don’t have a big advantage over “non select” schools.

That’s also how we got to this mess Not every kid who wants to go to private schools can If Curtis could get whoever they want why is Karr signing more kids to college than them? We played Newman this year had good high school players but less talent than Welsh Amite plays with Hammond transfers —————- Is your argument really well private schools don’t have zones so public’s shouldn't either? at least that would be fair... I can't wait till we open a non football magnet in my parish so we have the same football team pretty much and get to be a classification lower and still nonselect Like we had before Hurricane Katrina

So explain to me how Many doesn’t have a huge advantage? What options exist for a kid who wants to play football in Sabine Parish have? Now list all the other schools who are 2a that are the only football playing school in the parish I just enjoy watching the game of football no matter who we are playing. However i have to say if we are going to split teams into select or non-select it needs to be just that. To me non-select teams should consist of just hometown kids playing football for their town. It isn't fair for a town to be getting kids from all over a parish and still being labeled as non-select. Isn't that why we booted the private schools out? I'm not saying every kid in the state shouldn't have to opportunity to play football but in a situation such as Many they should be labeled select in my opinion. To not do so seems a bit hypercritical to me. How can you say a kid can go to Many because his school doesn't have football and that makes it non-select, but if kids from neighboring towns choose Notre Dame because of religion that makes them select.
