Lafayette high boys had a great team full of talent and great kids. The coach however is a disgrace to the boys and that program. He has no class and didn’t do his team any favors.

Whomever said that the Coach of the year should go to the coach of the district winning team, is just ludicrous. I agree that Acadiana was the better team, with the best player in Ceasar. With all that talent they were expected to win the district, so where did all this coaching take place. It is possible and often times happens when a coach with a not so talented team overachieves because of their coach and therefore should get the coach of the year title. Not saying the Acadiana coach did not deserve the title but who's team needed the coach more in order to do what they've done.
What most people do not understand is a coach CANNOT vote for their own players. The other coaches in the district decide what players make the team. In most cases, coaches of the worst teams get together and vote for each others players therefore eliminating those players on the top tier team from the list.
Take these lists for what they are worth. NOT accurate in most cases.

Here is something else to contemplate. this is in no way to diminish any honor that was earned by a player, but what about all stats honors? Should the voting come from only playoffs or only from teams that make it into the later rounds? There was a district MVP last year...one of only 8 players in the division to receive the honor, that didn't even make honorable mention all-state. Do you mean to tell me that there were 30+ kids across the division all-state teams that were better than he was after dominating the district? Horse hockey as Col. Potter used to say. Sounds like you have a coach that doesn’t think it’s worth his time to get involved with all state honors and nominating his players.

Take these lists for what they are worth. NOT accurate in most cases. You clearly do not know the history of this program. This team was in shambles for years with multiple players having multiple red cards each year and the team greatly underachieving. This year they had 1, and as a referee I dreaded having their games in previous years. What this coach did with this team this season and the discipline his team had was a complete 180 from previous years. Yes they had Cesar who is a great player but also had 4-5 starters that I’d never seen or heard of, 3 of which were sophomores from my understanding. Do not take that away from that coach and those new players. Oh and expecting to win district…come on now it’s been the sulphur show for years. And SS is prolly graduating a dozen seniors that have been playing varsity since their sophmore year. No one expected Acadiana high to run through district like they did. Sounds like you’re just bitter against the coach or Acadiana or both.

Alternate theory: He could be from north of Alexandria and be completely ignored for any form of all-state honors unless he makes it to the semi-finals.

We are supposed to tell them what? Sorry guys the adults who are supposed to be setting an example for you are basically dishonest cheats. Put all the coaches in a room and make them vote in front of each other. Publicly.

In my experience, the number one reason for a player not being recognized for a post season honor is because they were not nominated by their coach. I’m not saying there are not other reasons as well but that has, and probably will remain, the biggest reason.

Put all the coaches in a room and make them vote in front of each other. Publicly. I'm not going to touch the coach of the year discussion with a 10 ft. pole, but being that the players are voted on by opposing coaches, when you insinuate that the coaches are dishonest cheats and that certain players have been screwed over, it comes across as belittling to the kids that received these honors. Whether you have a vested interest in one team in particular or not, assuming that one school's entire starting 11 (especially in a district as competitive as this one has been) deserves the 1st-team nod is a one-dimensional argument. All the boys in this district put their physical and mental well-being on the line over the course of several months, and this is 1 way of acknowledging their successes; especially considering not everyone is going to get the opportunity to play in a state championship. Whether we want to admit it or not, the kids know this website exists. How do you think they feel seeing someone, probably an adult, say that someone else was more deserving than they were? Probably doesn't feel too good. All the coaches in this district had good seasons, and they made their decisions based on what they saw. The discourse is starting to look silly and needs to be left alone, now.

Lafayette high boys had a great team full of talent and great kids. The coach however is a disgrace to the boys and that program. He has no class and didn’t do his team any favors. Totally not true. He is an excellent man full of class and has had great success before getting the job at Lafayette High. The only reason Lafayette got to the quarters is because of the Mandeville upset...

I’m probably opening up a can of worms by asking, but why exactly do the districts get to make their own rules for selecting postseason honors? Why doesn’t LHSAA institute one way of doing it? Sounds to me like it’s the tail wagging the dog here. One procedure that all have to follow.. simple. Will it fix all the issues? Probably not. Will we still have deserving kids left out? Sure. But I think it would go a long way in fixing some. Also, I think they should also have a deadline for posting All-District teams. The span of time it takes from the first team posted to the last is crazy. If postseason stats don’t matter, post the teams and be done. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t they vote as coaches before the playoffs started?

Someone here also touched on adults saying a kid is deserving or not. The only thing I say about that is in high school sports, honors, awards etc are voted on and based on stats and opinions. The truth is many kids get overlooked. It’s part of life. We all have jobs or had jobs where someone said no to us, and we didn’t run and post online (hopefully) that we were told we weren’t worthy. Many of these seniors especially are gearing up for college, and they are being told they aren’t accepted by schools left and right. They are told academically they don’t measure up, or athletically, no matter how hard they obviously worked. Not every kid gets a scholarship or gets in to certain schools. Again… that’s life. My sophomore gets it. He knows that if a coach doesn’t vote for him for an honor, he puts his nose to the grindstone and uses it as fuel for next season. He cares about his team winning and is willing to sacrifice individual honors for team success. He has played forward, attacking and defensive mid, and defender at various parts of this past season and it helped his team in more games than last year and they made the playoffs. He knows that moving around the field may have cost him all-district, but he still tied for team lead in goals playing mostly def mid. I think sometimes the adults get more butt hurt than the kids do, which an indication of a much larger problem.

Alternate theory: He could be from north of Alexandria and be completely ignored for any form of all-state honors unless he makes it to the semi-finals. Alternate-alternate theory, I was right the first time. His coach doesn’t participate in all-state nominations for whatever reason. This guys kid is not from North LA, look his last post citing the chance to win state again. His kid is a Rush player.

The span of time it takes from the first team posted to the last is crazy. If postseason stats don’t matter, post the teams and be done. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t they vote as coaches before the playoffs started? I've seen all-district voting handled a number of different ways. In-person voting was always stressful and skewed by coach attendance (or lack thereof) and of course personal opinion - after all, most coaches only see opposing players once or twice a year, not at every district game (or beyond). And in-person voting could be pure chaos or controlled chaos - some districts allot nominations based on finish and some are the wild wild west where everyone can nominate as many players as they want regardless of district finish. After navigating all forms of that, I definitely liked the version that allotted all-district first-team slots based on district finish. That is, winner gets (for example) 5 first-teamers, 2nd place gets 4, etc. In that system, coaches were able to make sure the players they felt were deserving got recognized. I didn't have to count on other coaches with their own agendas to vote for my players. Yeah, it's not perfect but it took away the haggling for spots and long-ish stressful meetings. Ultimately, you hope that coaches find a way to recognize kids that are deserving. But there's always a conflict when they're also trying to get as much recognition for their program and their players as possible.
