Out of the 16 teams that played for championships this week in boys and girls soccer only 3 teams are from non-select schools. (2 in girls/1in boys) All of the champions are select schools. What are the odds?

It’s too watered down as it is. There doesn’t need to be 8 state champions in girls and boys soccer. It’s taking away from the value of the championship. Maybe our school systems should do something about the education of some or most of the public schools so kids would want to stay in public schools.

What percentage of schools that have soccer in each division are select? I’m pretty sure the vast majority of Div IV are select.

I’m not necessarily a fan of the split, but if they did one, why would there have to be 8 different championships How about 2 divisions for select and 2 for non select?

Why not 4?

Of the 8 State Championships played this weekend, 5 finalists and 3 State Champions came from Area Code 985 (St. Tammany), home of MSC and FCT. 9 of the 16 teams participating came from the Lafayette (LYSA) and St. Tammany areas. On the girls side, the numbers are more impressive with 6 of 8 finalists coming from the same areas. The issue isn't select vs. non select. It's club vs. club.

If we ever do split- I think the division enrollment sizes need to different for select and non-select. Select is severely skewed to smaller schools. Almost all Div IV are select. I don’t see the same enrollment cutoffs working for both.

Just want to tweak your numbers. 9 of 16 from New Orleans Metro area. SPS, Jesuit, Holy Cross, Lakeshore (2), Northshore, Northlake Christian, SSA, Newman. Three champions from same zip code 70433 (Covington)...SPS, SSA, Northlake Christian. Area St.Tammany clubs: SYSC, MSC,CYSA, MYB (latter 3 within a 10 mile radius) New Orleans Clubs: LA Fire, New Orleans Spartans, Jesters ,985 is a big area code for some unknown reason. I think it spreads over to Houma and Hammond.

I would like to see a killer home school team from St. Tammany. The kids could do their go zin tahs (Jethro Bodine reference for you youngsters) for two hours then practice the rest of the day. There would be no tuition or club fees. The players would have money for cleats for turf, grass, tall grass, swampland, broken sprinkler head soft spots, and white shrimp boots with roofing nails for flooded parking lots. Oh, they would have to renounce their religion to take that out of the equation. Any takers?

Do the split and just have 2 divisions in each category. I like that.

There’s TWELVE (12) Girls basketball championships. Who thinks that’s a good idea? When you start going down that path with soccer, how do you stop it from devolving into that?

Playoffs will be less per division also most likely. And then there will be less Soccer teams in the state. The smallest selects will find themselves less able to compete and afford the travel as the size difference in 2 or even 3 divisions will be much larger than current which already has schools on top of a division with double the enrollment of those at the bottom. The small public schools will blow up their travel budget as they will often have to go expoentially farther for games. So the morons in charge create bigger problems.

Do most school teams travel via bus?
Do non-select travel by bus more than select?
Our school sometimes travel by bus so was curious how others do it.
It has been 3 years sine my daughter graduated so it could have changed but my sense is that the boys travel by bus more than the girls.

$10000 this year strictly on charter buses...and $13000 on hotel rooms. This was all out of our club budget, not from the school.
I think if it gets split like this then you need to move away from having districts. Just set a 15 game minimum and go by P.R.

Do you understand how the Split works? Playoffs are split. If schools choose to leave LHSAA and go to another association, then that is on them. None of what you said is even remotely true. And if it is 3 non select and 3 select, the teams most play from their likeness (select/non-select) will be close to the same in playoffs anyway. Principals are in charge of LHSAA. They know what their budgets are and where the money is. Money income would be increased at this, not the other way around.
