Louisiana Officials

Which is actually not that good. It was $90 for an OKC metro varsity DH back in 2008-09 (3-person). So now it's up all of ZERO dollars six years later. Meanwhile, just up north in the KCK metro, it's $140-$150 for a varsity DH (and often you only get a single, but I'm ok with $70 for a single game!).

But the OKC rate, while not great, still seems rich compared to LA. Shame on The Pelican State, and good for the LHSOA for standing up for itself.
