Well, according to bhtigerfan, they've never recruited. I guess he's on staff there and knows every single detail that goes on with athletics
Wouldn’t say never but you can hardly find a kid in the school that didn’t go to one of the Catholic elementary feeder schools
They lost enrollment the last 10- 20 years and went from mid 3A to mid 2A while Iota has doubled in enrollment- why isn’t ND recruiting any of those kids going to Iota ?

I believe they should try to. I'm sure there are a lot of families of athletes that would love to get their kids a Catholic education but just can't afford it.

All the NOPS moved to AAAA when that class was added...
I'm curious what district changes you say happened in 1977?
Ehret to 10AAAA & BT Washington to 9AAAA??
9AAAA- Carver, Cohen, Clark, Abramson, Nicholls, East Jefferson, OP Walker
10AAAA- McDonogh #35,Fortier, BT Washington, John McDonogh, LB Landry, Warren Easton, West Jefferson, Bonnabel
As a sidenote:: I have a few questions regarding St. Charles Parish
Wasn't the population larger during the 1970s??
Why did Destrehan and Hahnville play in AAA for the first few years of AAAA?

I don't see where the LHSAA had any other options with Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard back then..
There were not enough schools in JP for a AAAA district!
Lincoln of the LIALO sent their hs kids to West Jefferson and became an elementary school...
John Martyn in Shrewsbury of the LIALO sent their kids to East Jefferson and closed soon after.
The others schools didn't have the #s which eventually allowed John Curtis to establish dominance in AA and wherever they were were in the 1980s/early 1990s...
St. Bernard HS had talent but were a smaller school.
Chalmette had already petitioned to join the AAA Catholic League a few years prior.
Deep Plaquemines Parish had loads of talent and could have regularly beat a few AAA and eventually AAAA schools but couldn't survive playing in the larger district because the talent was spread across multiple schools...
Traveling to play in either the Bayou or Northshore districts wasn't an option!

st charles parish in 1960s/70s population was considerably smaller than now or even mid to late 70s.

Genuine question, with LCA moving back down and St. Charles moving up, is there any team that will be able to compete with LCA in 2A?

How many championships did LCA win when they were 2A?

2 in 3 years with all three being against St. Charles. Hence my question

This was back in the days of Leander Perez… we were still playing Dixie until like 2010. I remember one of the last times was at a playoff game in West Monroe when they played it and we played it back to back

Uhigh is now in division III so they can.

no district can kick anyone out(it's not a real league and you know that).
Maybe but when districts come together they have their requests granted all the time

Of Easton, Karr, and Chalmette... there is no doubt that Chalmette is the best fit for one of those teams to be in the Catholic League.
Years ago, when there were enough teams here to do a Jeff Parish Publics league, an Orleans Parish Publics league, and a Catholic league, all at 5A, it was better. Charter schools have no doubt made education "better" in the city, but too many of them are smaller than 5A.
Having a 9 team 8-5A is probably not a great idea either, which you would have if all three teams went there. And with Salmen moving up, you already have 9 there.
And then of course, there's Ben Franklin.
While districts can't kick anyone out... I do wonder if the Catholic schools made some calls to the LHSAA to say they really didn't want Karr, and really really didn't want Easton, what with their recent eligibility problems.

The top teams in D3 select(Uhigh, Calvary, Notre Dame, Dunham) can definitely beat LCA on any given Friday night.

Why is it dumb to separate schools that have a boundary from where they can pull student athletes and schools that don’t? Seems to make sense to me
makes sense in theory
in practice there aren’t enough schools.
1A playoffs had teams make the playoffs with 0 wins

Notre Dame
Notre Dame isn't beating LCA anytime soon. LCA dropped 40 on 4A STM, ragdolled 4A TCHS 62-3 and lost to 5A Ruston by 3 points. I don't care much for LCA but they're winning that district every year.

The population was not bigger.
Back then both HHS and DHS were grades 10-12, my first year at HHS was 1975 and we were 4A, Destrehan was still 3A. We were in the Bayou District then with Assumption, Central & South Lafourche, South Terrebonne, Terrebonne, HL Bourgeois, and Thibodaux.

Except after this year #7 won't be on the field for Lca.
Kid is a rare talent and what he has done for them won't be duplicated for them. Not saying they won't be good but they won't be what the are this year!

Except for that whole 1 out of our last 50 dating back to 1984
Even this year’s team has a lower computer rating than any Catholic League team. It’s like going from the minors to the majors and I heard we will appeal…
