Louisiana Private Schools Mull Split from Association

Parochial schools in the state of Louisiana are considering forming their own organization apart from the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) after principals of LHSAA schools narrowly voted last week to extend the public-private school split to include basketball, baseball and softball.

In a vote that took less than 90 seconds last Wednesday in Baton Rouge, La., 173 of the 306 principals (57 percent) voted to extend the split, which will result in a total of 48 state championships in boys basketball, girls basketball, baseball and softball beginning in the 2016-2017 school year. Each of those sports will now have championships for seven non-select, or public, schools and five for select, or private, schools, according to reports. A split in football that was instituted in 2013 has resulted in nine state champions each of the past three years.
