To my knowledge no school as ever been kicked out the LHSAA. They never had enough balls to do that. Because two schools won to much They put all the Catholic and private schools in select, along with a few sacrificial lambs to avoid a law suit. IMO they will soon find a way to move Zachary and probably Karr to select. It’s in the self serving s nature to remove schools to better their chances of getting a trophy* Sorry, when I said LHSAA, I actually mean non-select. Has anyone been kicked out of the non-select side or forced to become select for winning too much since the split has been instituted? I’m trying to determine whether or not this threat is real or just rumor and conjecture based fear mongering. Karr Madison Prep in BR were moved from select to not select. Scotlandville and at least another school or two were moved from not select to select. Maybe others. This has more to do with self serving s making up rules on the fly. Whatever lame list of criteria they had prior to the first season is still trying to be interpreted. It’s hard to hit a constantly moving target.

You believe that their athletic dominance (assuming basketball) was the reason they were made to play on the select side and not the fact that they are indeed, by name and definition, a magnet school, that can draw from one of the largest metro-areas in the state? And based on this, you believe that schools like Acadiana will soon be forced to play in the select bracket as well?

OCS in junior high only. Whitworth and Banks always lived in West Monroe zone and went to West Monroe elementaries before going to OCS for middle school. (This is before and during West Monroe's early run to a power). Both transferred back to West Monroe before their freshmen year. Shoot, I was attending West Monroe High with Whitworth's older sister while he was at OCS.

Public 4&5A rural schools are pushing for rural/metro split because they don’t have a chance in hell to win a trophy* 3A public are basking in glory of mediocrity with the absence of Amite, Lutcher, Patterson etc so for now they are happy for now. 2A will soon revolt against Many and Kinder because of new rules which allows them to reach out in neighboring districts and Parishes. Aside from 3A the rest will have only 2-4 teams capable of winning trophies *

Ok. So why haven’t the schools that have won multiple championships since the split been kicked out of the LHSAA? To my knowledge no school as ever been kicked out the LHSAA. They never had enough balls to do that. Because two schools won to much They put all the Catholic and private schools in select, along with a few sacrificial lambs to avoid a law suit. IMO they will soon find a way to move Zachary and probably Karr to select. It’s in the self serving s nature to remove schools to better their chances of getting a trophy* I can see the argument for Karr bc their zone is technically all of Orleans Parish. How the hell would they move a public school with a defined zone to select?

Maybe Mexico will pay to fix our zones.

No one is reading the by laws except for Indy it seems.
Indy seems to be the only voice of reason here that matches the laws written.
Yes it is truly open borders.
A kid can move in and sit out a year at any school, and the next year he can play whether or not he has moved.
If it is a legible move into the zone they are eligible immediately.. the cry seems to be that for privates kids are eligible immediately if a kid decides to transfer in from outside of zone.
COULDN'T BE further from the truth.
The public's are choosing to single out the selects and count on an ignorant or overzealous population to ok it.
All illusions
Sorry WM, I did not know that about Whitworth and Banks. I just know they decided to attend WM and now the kids who are studs seem to desire the young proven coach at Neville who is developing players for college very very well.

A kid can move in and sit out a year at any school, and the next year he can play whether or not he has moved. to sit out a year and transfer and play at Zachary, you have to have a legal domicile in the Zachary district somewhere. Whether that's a new house or where auntie pays the light bill, that's a hoop they jump through that U High and Catholic don't. If you don't, well they like their state-leading ACT scores and will not allow you in.

As for the LHSAA it only says that they must sit out a year if they transfer and have nor moved into the zone. Once the year is finished it doesn't matter. They aren't making them ineligible their entire tenure because of where they live. It is a punishment to deter families from transferring their kids late in their career. Schools boards operate differently. They can create stupid laws like here in Monroe/WM that say you do have to move into the zone. I know this as I have spoken directly to the head honcho in charge of it all here in Monroe and West Monroe. We spoke for about 30 minutes and it was an eye opening talk. Crystal clear Chalmette. I respect you and you are one of the most admirable and knowledgeable posters, but I'm telling you the LHSAA bylaws are not slanted in any favor either way.

On their own it’s arguable if they are slanted. However when you add in the LEA exceptions and M&M court orders it’s not longer arguable. The by laws at that point clearly favor the “non select.”
I’m sure everyone’s favorite know it all will chime in. He as well as any other doubter need simply to the look at the lhsaa handbook test that head coaches and ADs must take. Two of the slides list the exceptions.

Parents especially in white flight districts don't like the idea. We all know it takes money to run a great program, so you can't piss off the people who have it

I respect you and you are one of the most admirable and knowledgeable posters, but I'm telling you the LHSAA bylaws are not slanted in any favor either way. But I do not understand why you seem to be claiming that is "new" information, or information only a few know from the bylaws. That has been well known by people involved for a long time. The major difference is in application. That is the "new". Not the LHSAA but how different LEAs are changing their enrollment procedures from traditional neighborhood schools to other various models. The "issue" is that prior to the shift in enrollment procedures, the COMBINATION of LEA policy and LHSAA policy would result in what could be said was a "slanted" situation. A lit match isn't a danger. A pile of Kindling isn't a danger. A lit match combined with a pile of kindling..... This is one of the pillars of the movement to the split championship model. However, it seems now that there are more than just two classifications (select, and non select) in practice. And indy has been dead on correct when he points this out that certain championship football programs are from schools that are labeled non-select, but don't seem to operate like "your grandma's non select" LOL. They aren't operating like a traditional neighborhood school. Unfortunately he seems to try and bury his message with hyperbole and inflammatory insults.

Indy, I disagree here and I rarely do with you as we seem to share similar ideas. But, there is no slanted laws in favor of public with LHSAA. The problem with the LHSAA is they have no backbone to even uphold their passed legislation. They allow the nonselects to bully by majority and make up s***. The problem is and has always been the LHSAA and it's unwillingness to uphold its own laws and tell the nonselects to pound sand when they cry foul. But the nonselects had legitimate beef in my view. They knew the shady s*** going on with the big dogs and they knew the LHSAA wasn't doing their damn job of enforcing the rules. So they had a 3 wolves and a sheep for dinner type vote and said, "if you aren't going to fix this we will". The entire storm falls at the collective feet of the spineless leadership that allowed this to brew. Yes, Zachary is rural yet they are getting kids moving in from the city no doubt. Sort of like river ridge and new Orleans. I'm sure they will go after them shortly if they see the LHSAA isn't paying attention to the enrollment. But it isn't Zachary fault for their success and the subsequent desire of families to send their kids to the top rated school district by ACT scores in Louisiana along with being a first class athletic program. The crux is the LHSAA. They are a joke. And they are destroying what was once an amazing structure for competition with sold out crowds in second round matchups across the state with the best playing the best early making for more excitement and more money.

You do realize when you say "the nonselects", "the selects" and the LHSAA you are talking about the same thing. The LHSAA is made up of non select schools, and select schools.

I applogize and meant to say the LHSAA isn't slanted towards privates or public's both.
INDY mentioned the LHSAA slants towards public's but that is only when the principals dominate voting for any measure.
There is no electoral college system with the LHSAA. Perfect example of why we have an electoral college system nationally.
That is where I disagree with Indy. The laws aren't slanted towards either side. There is no built in advantage except in the ballot box.

One way I never looked at this until yesterday. While this move looks sketchy on the surface, there could be some validity to it.
While I’m not sure how many children they have, the starter is heading to Harvard next year. Should the youngest be the one transferring to Zachary be the last child, not difficult to see the family moving completely once he graduates. Just beginning the transition early

Ted transferred to the Woodlands. Tonka is still at Lab. Damn. That sucks about Ted. Nah not really. The family member that raises him got a job in Houston. A great job. People have to put themselves first. I wish him the best. He’s a good kid and an extremely talented athlete. A similar situation took place with 6’4 superstar WR Cam Thomas a few years ago. He played on that 2016 star studded Lab team. 1 of his parents got a better opportunity career wise in Houston so he had to transfer. Those things happen. Lab has a “next man up” attitude.

He and Sage both being in the same class coming out would have been cool. Speaking of Sage, he got his 5th star on 247 today.

Yeah Sage and Ted coming out the same year would’ve been great for Louisiana. And it wasn’t an easy decision for Ted. His grandfather is legendary SU Lab basketball coach Joel Hawkins. He definitely wanted to play for his grand dad’s school. His family member is a close friend of mine. We talked for a while when they were weighing options. I told them to make the best decision for their family. That family member is a Lab graduate also. We have a freshman WR that’s already drawing comparisons to Ted. He’s the next big offensive recruit out of Lab. Next man up bro 💯

And congrats to Sage. He reminds me of Patrick Peterson. He will be a DB in college in my opinion. Great talent.

ND has a next man up attitude also, but we don’t have 5 star guys, when we lose an average white guy, we replace them with another average white guy, other than that S-Lab and ND are identical! Look. And I already told your friend. Stop with that “average white guy” stuff like those ND kids aren’t some of the most physically fit kids in the state. 😂😂😂😂😂 There was NOTHING average about y’all RB last year. He could’ve played at Lab. Lol. I only hope our average white boys and S-Labs stallions get to play soon, it would be epic, on the field and the tailgating. We differ in certain (obvious) ways, but we are completely alike in attitude, school support, and beverages 🍺, the emphasis on attitude, have game, we’ll show up!
