Public schools are doing exactly what they should do. Seperate the two and move forward.

Public schools are doing exactly what they should do. Seperate the two and move forward. Perhaps. But, in Louisiana, it may be a bit different than many parts of the country because I believe there are more Private schools (per capita) than anywhere else in the country. Also, I think the issue is one of unintended consequences as well as illogical thought processes. In Louisiana, the void created by the separate playoff system has simply been filled by the same public schools year after year that have "advantages" over other public schools. |

If there are so many that is more of a reason for them to have their own league in my opinion. If public school isnt good enough for them why would they want to compete in a league with them and expose their children to them.

If public school isnt good enough for them why would they want to compete in a league with them and expose their children to them. I am not disagreeing with the logical mindset behind two leagues. What I am saying is that it isn't quite as simple (from the point of view of the public schools) as just separating and keeping everything else the same. That is issue here in LA. Prior to the "split" LA seemed to have one of the more logical (at least to me) set ups that I read about on this board. Travel time wasn't horrible for the most part, your "district" was comprised of teams of similar school size and relatively nearby geography--the playoff process made sense etc. In other areas of the country, I read about schools with 400 kids competing in a district with schools of 1,200 kids but then when they get to playoffs, their opponents are similar size again..etc. Also, keep in mind that enrollment in private school is not always because "public school isn't good enough". That is painting with a pretty wide brush. |

Bottom line, it is not a level playing field therefor there should be and evedentally will be two seperate leagues.

Just keep in mind--it isn't a "level" playing field between different public schools either. Haynesville (a tiny public school) has 14 state titles. There isn't a level playing field between them and Lakeside high School who has had one winning season in the last decade. |

The problem with the LHSAA is twofold.
1. The LHSAA does an impossibly poor job of enforcement and investigation.
2. The principals are only concerned with the local situation and not the association as a whole.
It's silly to think a state this small can support two associations.

Ill be honest if I was a private school in this situation I would want it to stay the way it was also so I cant blame you it is just weird to me that they have allowed this to go on for as many years as it has. I think the blame lies with the public schools not standing up for what is best for their students and schools.
