Lol no problem. Just trying to understand. I'm not the smartest person on here Lol. By the way, you never answered my other question...are you a Heritage alum? Did you play for Heritage? Not trying to be a smart ass, just genuinely want to know. As I said before, I graduated from and played for Heritage myself.
So technically, you are not really a "Pioneer 4life?"
Lol I'm just giving you a hard time man. It's all in the name of fun and entertainment.
I don't am not buying that " most public schools " recruit players . Or even come close to most. I believe there is something called integrity in MOST public schools in Virginia.
If they abide by all the rules, maybe. But you were talking about them traveling that was part of being in the private school league. They had the money to fight and the VHSL didn't. They still do not have to follow district restrictions like others. They can take any from HHS, Glass, Brookville and JF district but those schools can only take from their area
If you think there is not huge difference in 16 year olds and 19 year olds. Go referee a high school J/V basketball and then go referee a D 3 college scrimmage comprised mostly of 19 year old fresh men and notice the difference. Huge deal there. The 19 year olds are heavier and stronger physically. Them mental maturity is even greater
They can only pull from the Lynchburg city zone and they have a 1.5 multiplier to their student count which is why they are 4a. The vhsl gave them a choice to pick in the zones either ecg or heritage and not take a multiplier and be 3a, or take a multiplier, pull from both zones and be 4a so they chose to be 4a. And unless the kid starts at LCA before 9th grade he's subject to the sans transfer rules as any other school for kids coming out of our zone.
They have been since they joined. They haven't "recruited" if they did then they would have more than 30 players and 8 lineman, there isn't a single kid on that team that could play d1 football. And they haven't done 5th year seniors for a while, they have one on this team and he is still 18 and was grandfathered in bc the vhsl didn't want to punish a kid and make him sit out when it was something he couldn't control
Yeah they have a commercial for the school bc unlike public schools who are funded by the government, LCA is funded by the tuition that the student's parents pay. So of course they are going to have a commercial trying to sell their school to get new students, that's how they keep the doors open. Public schools don't have to worry about that
Maybe I should have been more specific, there isn't much difference between a 16 year old that's not going to play college sports and a 19 year old that not's going to play college sports. Of course there will be a huge difference if a kid is already in college, evidently he's already proved himself to be athletically superior thus, the reason he is playing college sports.
If you look at the post that I said earlier in this thread, I said they had one but the vhsl allowed him to be grandfathered in bc they didn't deem it right to punish him for something that was legal when he did it but now illegal. And plus he is only 18 so you can't use the 19 year mature argument. Well after this year you won't have to worry about it bc he's the last one. And they didn't steal a baseball title, Hanover beat them last year in the title game, beat them in the regular season and LCA just played a better game than they did in this years title game.
