WHAT COACH/SCHOOL

[alzado]

If your son was an 8th grader, 6'0 185, LB/TE, very dominant for his age group, good student-not great, where would you send him in Davidson County to help him develop and prepare best for the next level (college) both on the field and in the classroom.

 

What matters more, the school or the coach?

 

Hard decision for me.

Send him to MBA, the best academic and football school in the state by far!

MBA also has a superbowl winning quarterback as their amazing coach!

This topic in itself is evidence that public and private schools should be separated from one another. Public schools dont get a choice they get the students that are zoned to attend there.

Thats true, but if he wants his child to have a great education as well as football then it is the obvious choice.

Yea send them to MBA is you want them to be, snobbish, and believe they are superior to everyone (like the BigOrange3). That takes you real far in life. Im not saying all are like that but it does seem to be thematic of what is taught at MBA. Otherwise I wouldn't. Believe it or not I would tell you Hillsboro. They have a great coach who is down to earth and yet a hardnosed coach. Hillsboro is one of the best academic institutes in the midstate. You may not believe so but it offers alot of classes others HS don't. But your education is only as good as the effort you put into it. At MBA your son could get lost while Hillsboro he could shine. And dont forget: Alot of $$$$$ VS. Free.

Why would he get lost? Maybe because MBA has so many great young men who are good at football, while making the grades at one of the hardest schools in the state...MBA will teach you son how to be the best person he can. How to be a gentleman, scholar, and then an athlete.

 

As for FBALLER, he obviously has something against MBA, maybe he could not get in, or maybe got kicked out...I do not think that I am better than anyone for having gone to MBA, I am just trying to help out a man trying to find what is best for his son.

Sorry, alzado, but this topic will not answer any questions for you and has already turned into a public-private debate. Not your fault, just a sign of the times.
