and they only play each other, for separate State titles. My daughters' volleyball team her SR year rolled up until the Sectional final. Public school kids. Faced a private school with (3) girls who ended up playing D1 volleyball. Middle hitter was a 6'3" black girl, freshman, from over in Kansas somewhere. Outside hitter lived 2 blocks from a public school, but drove to this school for the fine Jesuit education, err volleyball exposure. We gave them one of the best matches all season but lost. They smoked everyone at State and won easily. Based on their scores, we would've probably beaten those schools and won it.

Public schools can and do recruit quite often. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 08:58:37

I remember when Raytown recruited Tyronn Lue away - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 09:19:01

this is true. on the stl side schools such as vashon are - TigerA MU - 3/6 09:01:59

vashon got their 2006 State championship taken away because - alwaysright MU - 3/6 09:14:41

they had a player on their team get murdered at his house - TigerA MU - 3/6 09:15:43

Piece of work is putting it nicely. (nm) - sprintcar STL - 3/6 09:45:43

There is also the "We don't need to recruit" argument which - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 09:12:22

I don’t know about other schools but I can assure you - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:15:18

I don’t know STL as well. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:06:55

Plus, Aquinus, St Michael’s, St James, Summit Christian - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:19:27

St Michael's replaced state line schools though, correct? (nm) - lqf2b8 MU - 3/6 11:11:24

Barstow, Pembroke & Lutheran are the other high schools - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 09:25:20

You get too far outside the “state line corridor” and it’s - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:26:55

All of those schools are physically located in the KC, - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 09:35:48

More kids in my neighborhood go public/charter - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:39:41

But how many of those stay in the public/charter system - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 09:45:09

Hard to say because it’s newer and my experience is newer. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:49:17

I taught at University Academy for a bit about fifteen years - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 10:01:31

It goes all the way to 8th grade. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 10:08:08

I was not aware that they had added a middle school. As - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 10:13:08

Not sure. They also wanted the old Southwest HS - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 10:22:45

I don't think the district wants to let go of that building - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 10:27:13

I agree, but that’s what it would be if it was AL. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 10:35:17

why? that’s silly (nm) - pickle MU

because private schools can provide financial aid - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:19:34

So all of these private schools with this huge advantage - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 09:27:37

I think if you look at the number of championships won - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:32:21

Basketball is a bit of an outlier in this conversation. The - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 09:42:30

agree - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:48:09

I disagree about the coaching. I have coached in KCMO, KCK - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 10:11:32

I think you're cherry picking here, DH - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:24:07

Not at all. The best staffs are always made of of teachers - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 10:32:10

yeah, football is more difficult because of the numbers - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:37:13

I'm not sure what you are basing this on then. You say - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 09:37:42

looking at the results of games played between - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:41:37

Yet they still don't dominate the state championships - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 10:10:23

I think you missed the part of my post that said I was - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:15:41

Well that really doesn't help. Because Tennessee has - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 10:27:03

yeah, sounds to me like it's not near the issue as it is - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:29:04

According to newsweek there are at least 149 private - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 10:39:01

thats stupid, you really think a kid wants to go to a - bluesox7 MU - 3/6 10:15:31

So, the MMA does NOT have an advantage despite - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 12:15:51

So, it sounds like the problem isn't specifically because - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 10:22:06

as to your last question - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:26:49

Depends on the kid and their home environment - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 10:36:42

Vandy is horrible at athletics (at least the ones that - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:39:49

they are both public institutions, so I guess that would - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 10:43:06

you're citing one private school being bad at athletics - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:45:46

A private high school in the state of Missouri - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 11:18:42

you can still play the schedule you want - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 11:39:24

But you told me looking at state championships is shallow - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 12:09:02

that's what this whole thread was about - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 12:43:56

Which is why I used state championships. Again, what - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 13:37:33

no one said separate them during the regular season. - bluesox7 MU - 3/6 11:29:12

Then exactly what problem are you trying to solve here? - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 12:11:43

yawnnnn....... - bluesox7 MU - 3/6 10:25:10

Couldn't answer any of the questions could you dummy? (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 10:34:10

I don’t think it’s near that lopsided in Missouri - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:34:40

Lol, public schools are already free. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:21:23

sure, but being able to pull kids from - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:28:44

yes, of course - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:37:59

Yeah, that stuff isn’t happening in KC. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:41:21

probably yours is more common - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:43:07

I wonder if that separation makes it more of a drastic - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:47:33

I've only been here for about 13 years so I really - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:55:11

Yeah, that’s not a glowing review for the argument - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 10:00:25

I never said it works "well" - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:04:24

Fair enough but chicken and the egg. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 10:09:30

probably not(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:27:15

I agree - my cousin's grandson played for Liberty North - alstl MU - 3/6 08:48:51

What did you say to him this year when Liberty North beat - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 09:16:44

and why is your cousin's grandson coming to you for wisdom?(nm) - TigerA MU - 3/6 09:17:27

The simple answer is that there are not enough private - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 08:35:02

Which would be far more unbalanced than blending - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:12:11

Think outside the box. The current structure may have to - TigerTuff MU - 3/6 08:48:12

Private schools have to play basketball with 35 pound - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 3/6 09:13:28

That's their problem. The rules are most definitely one - sprintcar STL - 3/6 08:37:00

Do you think the suburban schools do less recruiting than - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 09:00:54

I don't disagree. But that's actually against the rules. - sprintcar STL - 3/6 09:47:21

Actually, private schools play by the same rules according - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 10:15:48

No they don't - JayHoaxH8r MU

- 3/6 11:41:32

They do not. Transfer rules apply to private schools just - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 12:55:46

are they really that disadvantaged though? looking back - TigerA MU - 3/6 08:39:18

correct, at private schools you get great facilities, great - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 08:17:58

Speaking from experience at a private school - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:05:32

of course, it depends where you are - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:22:31

My high school is a big school. - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 09:25:22

is it still what you describe? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 09:57:47

sounds to me like it's not even close to the same situation - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/6 10:07:28

100% yes. (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 3/6 10:04:31

To be fair the second part happens pretty much everywhere - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/6 08:32:10
