And if we are going to be honest let's admit that it gives you a HUGE unfair advantage over the schools that aren't magnet schools.

Especially on the girls side where one or two players can make the difference between a good team and a championship team.

At this point if you want to win a state championship in soccer you either need to be really big or a magnet school.


Isn't this true of all sports? Look at Wando and all the transfers into that school? Look at Byrnes for football. It happens everywhere and for every sport. Did Mann recruit a bunch of baseball players too and that is why they are playing for the state championship? How about softball, Lacross? All of their spring sports are good. I hardly believe they "recruit", kids want to play there because they have a better chance of winning. Just like all football players want to play at Byrnes, they want to win. Go all the way. That is a high school kids dream.
