From the article linked above:

"Finally, the high school team provides an atmosphere of loyalty, team and community pride and fosters a passion for the game not quite attained at the club level. There is nothing like pulling on your high school jersey to play the rival school on a Friday night."

Amen!

I will concur with that statement. Just consider the passion of this past spring's Lower-state Championship game between BC-Dreher or the Fort Mill upset of NW and its fans. But I would like to see as many clubs as possible offer supplemental training during the high school season. And the reason being that some quality club players unfortunately are saddled with very average, at best, HS coaches and teams. With their clubs offering supplemental training/instruction, these players can continue their development, even though their HS coach/team are mediocre.

I apologize if this has already been done but during some research I ran into this neat chart from the NCAA

playing in college statistics

I thought I share...

JI/Wando is a good one too!
