  1. but near the end of the game, one of our players (#24) fouled one of your player (and yes he did foul him kinda hard) but when our player came quickly to help him up he slapped his hand away...and on the next play on the inbound, he went over and nocked #24 to the ground....

    dh, i tried to tell you #24 was a scrub on the court...

  2. our student section at CPA has to be one of the best. we are classy and our administration steps in once and a while to make sure we are behaving in a manner they feel is appropriate. but we dress in nasty costumes and cheer like crazy together. ask the wayne county people who attended our men's substate game this year what they thought of the class/spirit combo. it can be done. don't give up on going to games because you have to behave. no administration will get mad at you for chanting "defense"

  3. The Urban 1a's are very nearly all private schools. They evolve for various reasons. One reason is that parents do not wish to send their child to some large, impersonal public school with "problems" (real or imagined) so they pull their kid, if they can afford it or the school they choose gives a scholarship of sometype, to the privates. This has an effect on the publics in two ways. The first is these student are the best and the brightest, (which skews test scores) and secondly, they probably have some athletic ability. Smart and athletic makes for a good ball team, no special ed. students here, they can actually learn more than the fundementals. Then the ball team gets better because they can hire, as someone stated above, more coaches, pay more for proven coaches, and the facilities are usually better. Again, the better students will work more a little more than special ed. students because maybe they see a future.

     

    Just an opinion, not backed up with numbers as the title of this thread indicates, and Baldcoach, General and Dalton will all probably disagree. Welcome to America.

    i am very glad that you included that last paragraph. cpa, for one, and i would venture to say the majority of the single A privates have ulterior motives pertaining to religion et cetera when it comes to their education and admission policies. these schools do not steal all of the public schools' top students and athletes and it is absurd to suggest that they do. the issue is indeed more of a rural/metro one than a public/private one.

  4. ok sorry i misunderstood... i don't know all the specifics about our inner workings as to the aid deal. and yes the selectivity issue exists, but it does not directly benefit any athletic teams at all. the only argument i can see is that the kids at the privates pretty much ALL come from some kind of a family background which supports development.
