No disrespect taken, cat. I see your point and appreciate the research you've done. It is interesting to see this type of research from Ohio, and would love to see someone do this same type of research to see if these same things hold true in SC. I do agree with Hurst, that there is something to the notion attendance area isn't always the main factor, as much as WHERE your attendance area is. We have an advantage being in Columbia, BE has an advantage being in Charleston, but private schools in other areas where soccer has not taken root don't have that same advantage, despite having a larger attendance area. However, I do see your point and must concede that private schools do have at least an edge there. Thanks for putting this out there and making that research available. Hopefully someone will take this and run with it in our own great state.
