A. Even with tuition on average most catholic schools cost less than public schools
B. Dont some public school districts have a small apartment complex near the school right at the foot of a rich neighborhood. Those rich tax payers are "paying the account" for any athletes that happen to move in to those apartments.
Coaches and/or supporters of LCA & Opelousas have been caught "recruiting" athletes enrolled at other schools. Opelousas had multiple players who did not attend a feeder school, but the LHSAA could only prove one was ineligible. The LHSAA settled out of court, which included reinstating their state championship. These schools are feeling embolden & using the court system to get away with cheating.
If they are select, why is it illegal to select players?
Nope. Kids went to LHS. In fact STM recruited via parents some of the females. An astute parent said sure if you can give the same quality education at the same cost as the GT program. They couldn’t.
Dirty little secret back then. The gifted students at Fatima were bussed to Woodvale for their GT courses. Which of course, made for a clean transition to LHS if they wanted.
