From a previous post: After playing Loyola this week, D'Arbonne Woods will have to travel to Shreveport to face Calvary. While at Mangham Coach Tharpe was one of the biggest supporters of the split. His comments are not new as he’s been saying this for years. I’m pretty sure he graduated from St Fred’s and now coaches at a Select school. He posts here so, I’m sure he’ll reply at some point.

It gets to a point where it just becomes nonsense these days, look if you have proof someone is recruiting, then hey by no means lets get it out there and show the LHSAA of the wrong doing going on, but until he or anyone who claims this school or that school is doing it, its all hearsay unless you come out and prove it. Coach Tharpe has always been this way coaching at a public or a private, and will always be this way, he has griped over the years, but its still the same ole "they recruiting to win" well, we are listening but still no edvidence will ever come from his accusations.

He used incorrect terminology in what he referenced. What he spoke about pertaining to controlled enrollment is not cheating, but it is a clear advantage. It is legal. Why we have select divisions. His beef seems to be with the fact his school is considered select when he doesn't have those advantages as he spoke of. Sounds like legit beef to me. How is it DW is select and Oak Grove isn't? Many as well. The beef is with the LHSAA and he has made that abundantly clear on social media for a long time.
I don't see anything outrageous he said here. Very well spoken and knowledgeable. He just rubs a lot of people the wrong way of course.

From a previous post: After playing Loyola this week, D'Arbonne Woods will have to travel to Shreveport to face Calvary. I can tell that listening comprehension is hard for a lot of people so I will help you guys out. The question is, what does D’Arbonne have to do to be in the same sentence as John Curtis and Calvary. His answer was, “we have to cheat, and we aren’t going to do that.” If you can’t hear well then subtitles and closed captioning is a neat invention y’all should look into.

DWCS charter is written so that there is no selection of who gets in, it’s a randomized lottery. How then can you say that they belong in the “select” division?

So, what you are saying is they aren't OCS? Correct? Or Oak Grove (who allows boys who wish to play football from all the parish, but only to play football because the other schools don't have the sport), or Many? Two of those schools are nonselect! 😂😂🤣🤣

I understand that not every charter school is written this way, but if what he’s saying about their charter is true then he has a point.

This message board used to be a good site. Now it’s just grown men who want to get upset about high school sports. Even taking it as far as spreading a false narrative.

Possibly, seems more like he’s drawing a comparison between them and true select schools. (Still not accusations)

DWCS charter is written so that there is no selection of who gets in, it’s a randomized lottery. How then can you say that they belong in the “select” division? They're "select" because students can select to attend there. Just like with open-enrollment parishes, any student can apply to attend Darbonne Woods, even students outside of the attendance zone. Just because they don't end up at Darbonne Woods doesn't change the fact they could end up there. That's the argument used against us in Rapides Parish.

Great wording here and explanation of it in a very understandable way.

Excuse Southplaq"s ignorance on the matter since I'm just a good ole country boy with a public-school education, but where I'm from, it's an isolated community, so your team was comprised of kids ONLY from the neighborhood. We didn't have the luxury of anyone, from anywhere, applying and attending. Your student-athletes were the kids that grew up there. Now, in addition to these private schools, we have ventured out into these magnate and charter schools, who seem to be able to get students from anywhere. They do not have to be in the neighborhood or attendance zones. They can SELECT to go there no matter where they are living, as long as the meet the admission requirements and/or have the money to go, correct? I would think that any school who has this "privilege" should be considered "select". Now, we can go back and forth and exasperate ourselves about open enrollment (SELECT) or schools who don't offer football, so those kids are allowed to enroll and play elsewhere. Heck, we can even delve into kids who use a relative's address so that they can attended a certain public school, but to me there should be a clear basic understanding of what is "select" and what isn't.

You are absolutely right and I am so glad you brought this out. These schools do not cheat. They are just blessed by God. Since they play sports in His name, the best athletic specimens in their nearest urban area, who are wealthy enough to afford private schooling and unbelievably pious and seek to escape the satanic evils of taxpayer funded schooling to avoid contact with unrighteousness, find their way like pilgrims on the path the heaven when they don the uniforms of God's chosen institutions. They have solid Christian parents who pay their tuition to keep their athletic ability from being used to glorify satan in taxpayer funded filth factories aka public schools. I think everyone will agree that the last place you want your 5 star righteous recruits, er, children to matriculate is in a place where his atheltic...er...academic talents can't be manifested to the glory of the SEC, er...God. I know if I had a son who was highly sought out, the first thing I would want to do is get him away from people who come from the same social fabric as him and write big checks to put him in an educational institution where his God given talents can be displayed as part of the ministry and not an attempt to use inherit advantages to win championships.

People moving into a zone makes them part of the zone and eligible to play so they are not part of the "battle that has been raging for years" to which I was replying..
By the way how many championship teams have been built on families pulling up stakes and selling their homes so they can move into another part of town or maybe even to a new town so their kid can play on a good football team?
That's not what caused the "battle that has been raging for years"..
