Thanks USD. I was going to comment on that incredibly asanine and ignorant comment about “should have been NV”. Like my comment in a thread going on about an incredibly unenforceable, unconstitutional IHSA proposal, the way some assume property. agency or license over somebody else’s child is disturbing.
Edit: Sorry, to stay with the spirit of the actual thread. Beast by 14 in a closer game than 28-14 sounds if that makes sense
I can’t speak for each individual family and their wants/desires for their kids. I’ve had 2 kids at Neuqua and one at St Francis. Our decision was based on what each child wanted out of HS and how we could accommodate that. I assume the same could be said for all of the kids who were in the Neuqua footprint that went elsewhere. Was it academics? A desire for a Catholic environment? Football? All of that is none of our business.
I do, however, know 4 of the kids listed and all 4 were at their Catholic school for one reason only. Football. They know what the NV program is about and how it’s operated. The program isn’t there to develop kids for collegiate success. That doesn’t mean NV doesn’t turn out collegiate players. They do for sure. Some choose to have their kids play at established football schools like Naz, JCA, Montini, and St Francis. They develop kids at a higher level than NV.
