Personally, I think that private schools playing with public schools is a good thing. A lot of states actually are in that space. If your ultimate goal is to win a state championships then, yeah, maybe keep it at public schools only. If your goal is to play at the top level of competition and prepare you for the next level, let the private schools in. College teams - especially at the D1 level - are handpicked teams. A decade or so ago, Phoebus played Dematha as they wanted to play top talent. I think Hayfield played Good Counsel this year. The top public schools are actively seeking private schools for top competition. Why not make it happen more often in-state?

Very few high school kids get to play at the next level. Most do not have the physical skills. High school sports should not be only about preparing for the next level. Most play because they love the game not because it's going to get them to college. Let the kids have fun!
In that case, I apologize. But one correction. Maury is not the only larger school we scheduled. North Stafford is a C5 school.
Incidentally, we have Salem, C5 Granby, and C6 Highland Springs next season.
You say fun and I say Warren Buffet has been involved with high school football for quite some time.
Think we both know who your speaking of Wikki. What that kids dad did so his son could play immediately at LCA was downright bs.
Yep. He was great player. We know exactly what they did. I bet LCA knew as well
Yes, I forgot about North Stafford. I should have remembered that considering I work at North Stafford. Also, we are Class 6.
LCA Shares a zone with Heritage High School. Open the link and scroll down to section for High Schools. The section in green is the LCA/Heritage zone. LCA/LCS School Zone
I doubt we know each other so I don't think you can say that I am biased. If you did know me you would know that I actually taught and coached football at another Seminole district school and beat my oldest son's a** 2 out of 3 years when he was playing for LCA. You would also know that I don't care whether LCA is in VHSL or not. What benefit do I or my son gain by them being in VHSL? The lawsuit was based on travel times (and money) and scheduling. Those aren't issues anymore so it doesn't matter whether they are in VHSL or not.
Also, no one is denying that they receive a lot of transfers. What I am denying is the recruiting allegations. Liberty University is the largest employer in the Lynchburg region. Of course, a lot of people move to the area from out of state to work for LU. If you work for a Christian organization, it should be no surprise when you put your child in a Christian school. You named 6 players in 3 years that transferred to LCA after 8th grade. What about the other players that enrolled at LCA before high school? Also, it is not against VHSL policy to live outside of the school zone and play sports. The only rule related to that is that a student must pay tuition and sit out one year after transferring IF they transfer after starting 9th grade at another VHSL school and they live outside of zone.
I'm not trying to convince anyone that they should like or support LCA. I'm not even trying to defend their membership in VHSL. I'm just trying to defend the truth.

Know exactly who you are. Also know you know about recruiting seeing as there are still several Amherst administrators with copies of texts you sent to certain players to try to get them to come to your school where you were defensive coordinator if not for that you would have gotten Amherst head job. Family or not.
That’s not what I meant. I was responding if, I’m not even sure who the transfer was. They seem have a few have controversy every year with them and from more than their area.
