Southside High School is appealing their classification as a select school, the LHSAA announced Wednesday in a document
In early June, the LHSAA Executive Committee voted that any school with magnet components will be considered a "Select School" in postseason play. 89 programs were added to the private school divisions. There are currently 207 non-select school and 198 select schools, if the ruling stood.
The Sharks are 1 of 78 schools appealing the select designation.
The select and non-select distinctions affect football, boys and girls basketball, softball and baseball.
