So what you are saying and I know I will be corrected....but in a nutshell why not xfr all the kids . Right? Boot all these other homegrown boys that work their a$$ off -- I think you're wrong, the problem is not as much kids and parents but the politics. GHS is the only school that I know that has a sports program that is nationally known and the powers at be has done everything to get rid of it. This is my opinion and no one elses, I know you will disagree (Lance) so let it fly and I know you'll probably lock me out again. But no one has said that dropping to A would be easier in any sport but can you honestly say that when you have a school that has 470 kids competing against schools that have 1200 kids that makes a big difference to choose from. All that's being said that by dropping down put all these kids on an even playing field. But from what I see from what you have posted why not lets just do away with the A, AA and AAA system and have one state champion. Lets put Twin Valley (no disrespect, just an example) up against AAA Power House Colonial Forge. Lets go less than 200 students competing against 2000 students. Now you tell me the smaller school can work their a$$ off all they want and it will not make a difference. There's just too many to choose from and thats the points thats trying to be made.
