Note to Physician’s: Non-contagious lesions do not require treatment prior to return to participation (e.g. eczema, psoriasis, etc.). Please familiarize yourself with
NFHS Rules 4-2-3, 4-2-4 and 4-2-5 which states:
“ART. 3 . . . If a participant is suspected by the referee or coach of having a communicable skin disease or any other condition that makes participation appear
inadvisable, the coach shall provide current written documentation as defined by the LHSAA, from a physician stating that the suspected disease or condition is not
communicable and that the athlete’s participation would not be harmful to any opponent. This document shall be furnished at the weigh-in for the dual meet or
tournament. The only exception would be if a designated on-site meet physician is present and is able to examine the wrestler immediately after the weigh-in. Covering
a communicable condition shall not be considered acceptable and does not make the wrestler eligible to participate.”
“ART. 4 . . . If a designated on-site meet physician is present, he/she may overrule the diagnosis of the physician signing the physician’s release form for a wrestler to
participate with a particular skin condition.”
“ART. 5 . . . A contestant may have documentation from a physician only indicating a specific condition such as a birthmark or other non-communicable skin
conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, and that documentation is valid for the duration of the season. It is valid with the understanding that a chronic
condition could become secondarily infected and may require re-evaluation.”
Once a lesion is not considered contagious, it may be covered to allow participation.
Below are some treatment guidelines that suggest MINIMUM TREATMENT before return to wrestling:
Bacterial Diseases (impetigo, boils): To be considered “non-contagious,” all lesions must be scabbed over with no oozing or discharge and no new lesions should
have occurred in the preceding 48 hours. Oral antibiotic for three days is considered a minimum to achieve that status. If new lesions continue to develop or drain
after 72 hours, CA-MRSA (Community Associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) should be considered and minimum oral antibiotics should be
extended to 10 days before returning the athlete to competition or until all lesions are scabbed over, whichever occurs last.
Herpetic Lesions (Simplex, fever blisters/cold sores, Zoster, Gladiatorum): To be considered “non-contagious,” all lesions must be scabbed over with no oozing or
discharge and no new lesions should have occurred in the preceding 48 hours. For primary (first episode of Herpes Gladiatorum), wrestlers should be treated and
not allowed to compete for a minimum of 10 days. If general body signs and symptoms like fever and swollen lymph nodes are present, that minimum period of
treatment should be extended to 14 days. Recurrent outbreaks require a minimum of 120 hours or full five days of oral anti-viral treatment, again so long as no new
lesions have developed and all lesions are scabbed over.
Tinea Lesions (ringworm scalp, skin): Oral or topical treatment for 72 hours on skin and 14 days on scalp.
Scabies, Head Lice: 24 hours after appropriate topical management.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): 24 hours of topical or oral medication and no discharge.
Molluscum Contagiosum: 24 hours after curettage.

shall be required for the athlete to return to competition. If a physician recommends

Musemeche is the official photographer of the LHSAA and all
of its Championship events. The picture session is well organized and is completed in less
than ten (10) minutes. During that time we shoot your official 2015 State Championship
Tournament team picture in singlet or warm-ups plus individual portraits of each player,
coach, administrator and others in your party. There is no charge to either the school or
the individuals to have their pictures taken.
Orders are placed from proofs, using a simple ordering system. The proofs will be
sent to your school the week following the state tournament. There is no obligation
to order but we do ask that all proofs be returned. Please ask your athletes to not
mail their orders individually but rather turn them back to you so all orders can be
returned together.
A 10 x 14 full color enlargement of the team portrait will be sent with our compliments to
each participating school when all the orders are returned to us.
Call us toll free at 1.888.352.7479 if you have any questions.

Re:
Pictures
In an effort to keep a history of La. High School Wrestling and create a
wrestling archive, I am asking each of you to please help me in this endeavor
by having your wrestlers cooperate and participate.
The Saturday night session features the Championship Matches. After each
match, awards are presented to the top 6 finishers in each weight class from
each Division. I am asking that you and any wrestlers that are to receive an
award remain at the tournament and take a picture with the weight class
receiving the award.
Those wrestlers winning the state championship is asked to stay until the end
of the tournament so that a group picture may be taken of all champions in
each Division.
I realize that many of you that come a long distance are anxious to return
home when your wrestlers have finished competing; however I believe that
this is an important part of our history. If you could please help make this a
reality, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please cooperate and have your wrestlers cooperate as well. After all, this is
a record of a memory for a lifetime.
