I'm not sure how this proposal makes the situation any better except there are 8 championships instead of 9 in it. But there are some interesting things about it. Assuming NO ONE PLAYS UP. It'll look something like this if it passes...
5A - 64 Highest enrollment schools (Jesuit, Byrd, Rummel, Acadiana, Zachary, Hahnville, Destrehan, Rummel, Edna Karr) (1 Title)
4A - the next 62 Highest enrollment schools (ST. Thomas More, Neville, Bastrop, St. Aug, Shaw, Livonia, Lutcher) (1 Title)
3A - the next 53 Highest enrollment schools divided into 21 "metro" teams (with University and Parkview Baptist) and 32 "rural" teams (with Notre Dame being the only Private with Union, Amite, and St James) for playoffs (2 Titles)
2A - the next 53 Highest enrollment schools divided into 21 "metro" teams (containing John Curtis, Evangel, St. Charles, Riverside, Calvary Baptist, and Ouachita Christian) and 32 "rural" teams (with Mangham, Many and Kinder being the ALPHAs) for playoffs (2 Titles)
1A - the lowest 53 enrollment schools divided into 10 "metro" teams (Southern Lab, St. Fred, Lafayette Christian, St Martin, Ascension Christian, Highland Baptist, Hamilton, Crescent City, Ridgewood, and Ecole Classique) and 43 "rural" teams for playoffs (with these 3 big dogs: West St John, Kentwood, Haynesville) (2 Titles)

Notre Dame is in 2A correct??

The big privates will leave the little privates holding the bag.

If it passes I heard ND would play up to at least 3A for competition reasons. I don't think Church Point or Iota will like being in same class and possibly district as ND especially for football. You will see strong push to move them to another district which does not include Acadia parish schools.

Notre Dame is in 2A correct?? according to the numbers i looked at ND is at the BOTTOM of 3A.

Where can one find the most up-to-date numbers concerning school populations? My numbers are from early 2015.

You have to explain that one. They have only one vote on anything.

That would suck not seeing a potential Notre Dame Calvary Baptist playoff rematch Calvary is going to 4A for the next reclassification.

Hort told me to my face they WERE moving up to 4A as soon as possible, I think Hort is an honest man. So I would call it "set in stone". Coach Bachman was standing next to him and agreed.

My understanding is that ND would be classified as Metro when considering all of the parishes from a geographic standpoint, they draw from. I do know this was discussed in the original Metro/rural plan

It also encompasses where your kids enrolled actually come from, among other things.

I don't recall seeing where the kids come from...Maybe I missed it but I thought anything within 9.5 miles of Monroe, Shreveport, Lafayette, LC, BR, and NO was Metro...

In one of the rural/metro proposals 1A was called the Iron Man division and was basically the same as 1A prior to the split. That would be my choice, naturally. But I agree, 10 teams vying for a title is as bad as Division 1 has been for the last 3 years. If not for St. Freds being in the mix, they could just call it the South Louisiana Small School Big City Championship.

Bonine just stamped his name on it as his "platform" for "fixing" the split. And Williams totally screwed it up! I like the original plan and I honestly don't care whether it was Coach Cook or one of his assistants who wrote it up. I am wondering if the miles start at the city limits or the center of the city and ends at the school zone or what?

The 9.5 miles was just a starting point. It was never "part of the plan". Considering how many kids go to ND, for example, that live WELL outside the Crowley area, it was a bit self serving, thought many
