The private schools wouldn't erk me if they just played each other.
The fact that we have to compete with programs that have every competitive advantage known to man, is not fair.
They have better players. (via recruiting)
They have better resources.
They have better facilities.
They have better pay for coaches.(thus better coaching)
They have better education.
Nowhere on paper should a public school even have a chance versus a private.
Yet we're expected to get by them on our way to a state title. (which, by the way, is where private schools really excel - the playoffs)
You wanna take some of our players? Fine.
But then you turn around and beat us with some of them.
If it wasn't for private schools, I can confidently say that I'd probably have multiple state rings right now. And I'd also feel more comfortable saying that I could possibly win another one this year.
Not trying to make excuses, but the playing field isn't even. Even when the talent is somewhat even, the resources are nowhere close. And that sh*t matters.
Where I'm at right now is the closest thing to a private school in terms of resources, education, facilities, coaching, money, support, etc. (at least in the South Florida public sector) This would give us the edge over most public schools, but it barely evens the playing field versus a typical private.
Crazy that FL doesn't have different leagues for private schools.
