I don't know what the best solution for high school football is in Louisiana, but what happened tonight is not it.
I was watching my local news tonight and noticed the great disparity in the scores of the local games. Most of the games were very lopsided as was the case for many games during regular season play.
So I went to a complete scoreboard after seeing the local news and reviewed the scores for the 100 playoff games played tonight. That's 200 teams in the high school post-season. I know the LHSAA now has 5 public and 4 private divisions, but 200 teams, many who have losing records, is ridiculous.
Of the 100 games tonight the average margin of victory was 27.4 points. Only 15 games were decided by single digit points.
There has to be a better solution for the high school football system in Louisiana.
