Region 1 kids will only be great if the coaching staffs of these schools step up and take an iniative to be great. Most of the schools in region 1 are perfectly fine with settling for placing in our little area and i think that the goals need to be set much higher by the coaches in order to see any improvement at all. They need to push their kids to use the very limited resourses that we do have around here. The kids who actually use these resources and put their time in see great results while the ones who sit at home and talk themselves up all summer. But from what i have seen of region 1 this year almost every team is down and lots of coaching staffs have been changed. So it will take quite some time to change things in region 1 if they ever do at all.
