Central Coach Sid Edwards Says Split Is Historic Mistake
CENTRAL — Central High head football coach Sid Edwards said Wednesday the decision to divide state football playoffs into “Select” and “Non-Select” schools is a mistake of historic proportions.
“Actually, at the time the LHSAA principals voted, I was neutral on the idea. Now that it’s sunk in, I realize it is a terrible mistake. I fear high school athletics in our state will never be the same unless this decision is reversed.”
“What the vote did was correct a lot of problems, while creating many more problems. Some of the problems of public schools are now in the lap of private schools.”
Central is a “non-select” school under the plan.
