Lafayette and Oxford. 🫤

Didn’t the two s hooks used to be around the same size?  But now Oxford is a couple hundred or more students larger?  Maybe that coupled with Oxford running the score up scared LC people into realizing there was going to a gap starting to develop so they called it quits to avoid future embarrassment.

the jay foster effect in full force here folks, please look away.  just because football is down at LHS

Yep. I’ve been to a couple of games at Lafayette this year. 1 game the lights on the home side weren’t working and the other game the scoreboard wasn’t turned on.

You now have kids that live in Taylor and Abbeville going to Oxford whereas before they had to go to Lafayette. Not sure if a zoning was changed or what. I hate that we’re losing this rivalry in baseball. Rest of the sports were definitely getting a gap between them. Crazy that this is for all sports. Never seen such a thing. I could understand if one was 7A and the other 1A.

Did the fact that Lafayette went 0-10 last year factor into this decision?  If so, there's 9 other schools they probably shouldn't be playing either.

Not sure. The powers that be said it was a classification thing but they’ve already played and beaten 2 other 7A teams this year which I’m sure will be back on the schedule next year. 

This is like a rusty pail with holes all in the bottom.  If this is what they are saying, I don't know if a whole gallon can of Flex Seal would help.

Lafayette has played and beaten two 7A schools this year (Hernando & Lewisburg).
I think this move is a bit of an overreaction, but what really doesn't make sense is making it be an all sport issue. Lafayette Baseball went 2-1 against Oxford last year, right?

@Blakeremember when I had you find us this current house because it was in the Lafayette school district? We now need one in Oxford school district because of this scaredy cat nonsense. 

Let me know when you're ready for Grand Oaks or Wellsgate. 🙃

Foster is the driving force behind all this.  He made a statement to football booster when last year was completed that He would resign if football didn't improve.  so then he had the HC weaken the schedule and they are currently 4-2 with wins over extremely weak teams.  they finish up with New Hope(L) West Point(L) Columbus( maybe a W vs a weak team) Caledonia( they better beat Caledonia (W) and Pontotoc( more than likely an L).  1 Region win gets them 4th place and a first class ticket to Grenada in round 1.  They simply are a weak 6A team and most say if the superintendent leaves then also should the HC. We shall see how the worm turns.

Yea you may need to check this post again.  6A?  Grenada round 1?  Columbus is a region game so that is two wins.  No dog in the fight just fact checking.

Kinda what I was thinking. They’re a 5A team and I wouldn’t consider Hernando a weak team. Friday night will be the decider whether they finish 2nd or 3rd in Region 1 of 5A.

woops wrong classification.  my bad.  everything else is spot on

 

But do you know who the head coach is there?  You could be right but I highly doubt the Foster guy is telling Anthony Hart what to do with his schedule.  Looks like he is around 30th in most wins in the state's history.
