"But if simply surviving is enough for you, then I guess we'll have to take it." Your words and your opinion. You were the one who brought up surviving. I'm simply saying we should strive to do better than that. I have set back and watched each side go at each other. We should strive to do better than we are, but Bonine put us here. He did nothing for a year, then he backed the public schools into a corner with his Friday press conference and then everyone wants to blame the public for not wanting to find a better solution. The privates feel today what the public felt on that friday when Bonine made his announcement and it does not feel good. Send him back to Nevada and find someone that will lead the LHSAA.

The select schools have felt this way since 2013. Bonine didn't have anything to do with that. This is nothing new for us. All his announcement did on that Friday was give us a glimmer of hope that was quickly snatched away. I do agree that he has exhibited poor leadership so far. A lot of talk without much substance. He put all his eggs in the metro/rural basket and then proceeded to chop it up until it was nearly unrecognizable from it's original form. I don't know how long his current contract is, but I'm willing to give him until it runs out before labeling him a complete failure.

There no way that the public schools will ever trust him again and if there is not just there is no chance that the public side will ever be reasoned with.

The main problem I see with private schools leaving is that the LHSAA will not let any LHSAA school play a non-LHSAA Louisiana school. That wont be a problem for everybody, but for a lot, it will. Outside of that, I hope it happens. I hope the private schools form their own league and have a rule that says their schools are free to draw kids in from anywhere and everywhere. Then some of these numbskulls will get a real good lesson on recruiting. Reminds me a whole lot of some your's and others' posts back in 2013 when the Split was passed. Ya'll went on and on about how the privates need to just roll with the split and "prove" to the pathetic little publics that the publics can't survive without the private schools' money. That theory was about as wrong as they come. Lol. If anything like that ever left my mouth, it was only because I was under the impression that the split would happen and the private schools were basically going to be on their own anyway. That's not what happened. That's not what's happening now either. Which is why I can't figure why the private schools would want to stay. Does them no good.

I'm like the vast majority of other pro-split folks. I'd love for there to be a suitable compromise for everyone. But that would require Bonine and the LHSAA to actually do their job. And I think we've found out over the last 12 months...especially the last 3 weeks...that Bonine is in this for Eddie Bonine. His ego and his chumminess with the select schools is what pushed the public supporters into a corner that resulted in the voting results last week.
If Bonine hadn't pulled his last minute, right before a long holiday weekend, disregard the Constitution and the will of the majority press conference stupidity, I don't think the full split would have EVER passed. That vote was the result of backlash caused by Bonine's incompetence and the perception that he is in bed with the Select schools.
I don't think anything will get resolved til Bonine is gone. I hate to say that , but it's true. And whoever takes his place needs to read the Constitution and rulebook front to back and back to front, and then rearrange the LHSAA budget to spend way more time, money and effort on regulating recruiting and attendance issues statewide, PUBLIC and private!!

I agree wholeheartedly. Also, undue influence needs to be a situation where a PREPONDERENCE of the evidence convicts such actions, and NOT a cut and dried, dead to rights, evidence in hand, situation.
The integrity of ALL schools has to be upheld, not just the ones with LHSAA influence. If a principal says a kid transferred for athletic reasons they should be ruled ineligible for at least 2 years. Make sure kids move for the RIGHT reasons.

You can't blame Bonine for this crap. This was off and rolling before he got here. The split in place because this is not and has never been about a level playing field. It has always been about taking shots at private schools. Norman "bigVag" Booker says it's because private schools recruit. Remember? So I have to wonder why Booker never has done anything to address recruiting. Because if that fool believes that only private schools recruit and that the split is going to solve recruiting, he really has no place participating in the education of kids. Booker was willing to wait a year for Bonine to fix the problem.....and he waited, and yet Bonine did nothing but continuously belittle the publics in his attempt to appease the private powers. IT IS BONINE'S FAULT that the split is still here. He did nothing. You realize Booker won a state championship as a player AGAINST the selects in the late 80s and won another as a coach AGAINST the selects in 2000.....he's not scared of playing selects schools. Im pretty sure, just like other public administrators he grew tired of the run-around from the LHSAA. Many had a team in 2009-2010 that had at least 4 maybe 5 DI signees and they lost back-to-back years to Evangel by 50......Im sure you will say they were out-coached!! Sorry, but when lose by 50, its not coaching!!!

Make sure kids move for the RIGHT reasons. I'm ok with that, but that doesn't solve the whole issue. The recruiting takes place long before high school, and in some cases, before junior high. A couple of things I'd like to see if we all go back together: 1) No financial aid to athletes. NONE. I don't care if they make a 4.0. If they receive ANY financial aid, they can't play. Period. 2) Limit the number of coaches by classification. If a 2A program has 4 coaches and they're having to compete against a 2A academy with 12 (who don't have to be certified teachers like most public schools require), they're at a serious disadvantage. 3) Limit the number of varsity players by classification. If they're only 50 slots on a 2A squad, numbers 51-120 in a school of 300 have no incentive to be there. If those kinds of things were enacted, THEN I think we may be approaching a little more level playing field.

But he doesn't want his kids to?

Is it possible for you to refer to Booker without insults? Or are you that childish? No, it's not possible. I can't refer to him here as I do everywhere else because of language restrictions here. I guess I could refer to him as Female Dog Booker, but that just doesn't work as well as BigVag Booker. Honest to God, I wouldn't have near the distaste for his punk butt had I not had to hear him blame the split on private schools recruiting. Once I heard that bit from him, I knew he was lying dirt bag. He's using the split to: A: Hide from private schools B: Go after private schools because they're private schools. In conclusion, if you consider how I refer to it as "childish", then you'll just have to look at it that way. You don't have to respond to me if it bothers you that bad.

Sorry, but when lose by 50, its not coaching!!! It was probably a lot of things. One thing that I know it wasn't, was recruiting. Evangel should have been in 5A. They weren't because of people pouting and passing the buck. Instead of addressing the problems they felt like were giving teams like Evangel an "unfair advantage", they chose to push Evangel back down in class. So Many had to deal with them. BigVag Booker knew he couldn't just get the 5A teams to agree to let Evangel play up, so he started with the split business. It's a means of hiding out for him. Again, this nonsense was going on BEFORE Bonine got here. Did it never occur to anyone to fix and enforce rules? I mean, you can vote for a split, but you can't vote to fix rules? Really? Nah, I don't buy that. This has been and is still a means to try and take down private schools. Because of money. What's funny, is back when everybody started regularly hating on Evangel for beating them down, all the "recruiting" nonsense started. I was going to school there then and everybody at that school had either been there since grade school or was living in their "attendance zone", which they shared with Huntington. I remember having people say how Brock Berlin had been recruiting from Florida to come play at Evangel. I believe he was in 4th or 5th grade when his family moved here and his father took a position at church. Sorry, but you don't recruit 4-5th grade kids when you're a 1A school. You wonder why people like me laugh at all the accusations, that's why. Because they're baseless. You say it's not about coaching, and I just can't fully buy into that. Because I watched the Evangel coaches take the same few kids they had when they sucked and start stomping on people. Because everybody was running the ball and Evangel was putting it in the air. There may very well have been some passing teams before ECA, but they made it a problem for everybody. Not by cheating, but by making sure they played a perfect game. Is it just the coaching itself? No. It's a lot of things. It's coaching, it's money, it's culture of winning, it's building the kids up in their own minds. All of those things added together will change how the team plays and it will show on the field. so you're right, it's not just coaching. But it's not cheating. Come back around at the start of the season and look at people talking about what they expect from "their" team for the season. Most people have high hopes and speak realistically. One thing you notice is you rarely, if ever, see anyone from Southwood on here. You hardly see any people in the stands when they play either. Those boys don't have a chance. They have a bad coach, no money, no fan support, and a culture of losing. The entirety of 1-5A believes that Southwood will lose every district game they play. In private, I suspect many of the kids believe that same thing. for that, I blame the coach and the school. As for teams being out-coached. It happens. Not all coaches are created equally. and then add in the human factor and anything can happen. It could just be a bad day. I have bad days at work. Coaches can to. If that bad day happens to be game day...well, the result can be losing a playoff game in the last 2 mins of regulation to a team you had beat. Or, if you're Coach McClain at Southwood, every game day is a bad day because you just don't have what it takes. I couldn't go and operate on people, that's not what I do. I don't know how to operate on people. Anyway. You'll believe what you believe. But don't just chalk it up to people cheating.

If those kinds of things were enacted, THEN I think we may be approaching a little more level playing field. 3 would result in kids being cut and thus not able to participate in the valuable lessons of sports, so some adult fans can feel better. Also, schools with high levels of participation will still be better. 2 would be a great idea 1 is a quandary. This is supposed to be about the kids. If a school has schollys or work-study available and if a kid wants to attend and wants to play sports why are we preventing that? Assume for a minute that he is not a stud, just an average joe. Why are the fans going to limit a kid's options in order to have a better football team? That is misplacing priorities just as bad as the schools who go out and recruit kids. MAYBE a requirement that no more schollys are given to athletes than non-athletes? Why not just use a success metric? The schools giving too many schollys will be dealt with. The ones who aren't will be ok. Would be so easy...

I wonder how many people from surrounding parishes would be willing to pay $7,500 a year to send their kids to Many High School, plus provide their own transportation. By the way. Evangel did not play Many back to back in the playoffs those years you mentioned.

He wouldn't have complained to moderators about it. Either way, I said what I had to say in regards to the situation to the moderator that messaged me about it. I'm certainly not going to discuss it on the open board as I'm sure someone will get their feelings hurt again. FWIW, I did not call any users or coaches a name. I said what I said about what'shisface because I believe it's spot on. If that hurts someone's feelings, Boudreaux makes a butt-paste for that. Either way, really. I'm over. I'll step on out. Things to do.

The LHSAA has no say in the matter. The only thing stopping Many from having students from all those parishes is the local school board. I wonder how many people from surrounding parishes would be willing to pay $7,500 a year to send their kids to Many High School, plus provide their own transportation. By the way. Evangel did not play Many back to back in the playoffs those years you mentioned. This is 100% EXACTLY CORRECT...and I believe that it is actually part of the "problem" that people here on message boards seem to want to "fix". Misinformation. Attributing rules and jurisdiction to the wrong governing bodies. If those things aren't understood, how can you suggest a solution to a "problem"

If those things aren't understood, how can you suggest a solution to a "problem" I have mentioned that School Boards in most cases is the governing body that determines where kids go to school, not LHSAA. That is one thing that make out of zone a hard problem to fix. Some parishes have agreements when schools that fall on parish lines. A school to use a example is Basile High School it is in Evangeline Parish, but on Acadia Parish lines. Kids in Acadia Parish on the parish line can go to Basile or Iota. I also think acadia parish funds for those students that go to Basile.

Why do people think that private schools should have their own association? We are a minority but we were here first. I know that didn't work well for the Indians. Instead of trying to push them out or segregating them into a "sovereign nation"why don't the unhappy schools leave? Why don't they form a league of their own kind? Just s thought.

Just line up and play the game! It's a game for kids that is supposed to be enjoyable while teaching them how to compete. The adults in charge (both sides) have missed the mark.
