The Woodruff program is all Fernando. . .

Hurst, you are dead on about taking advantage of opportunities, and I have never expressed any hate/dislike/animosity for CC or BE. . .All of my concern is about the system that allows/ignores addressable inequities. . .

About your economic-impact idea. . .So far, I believe the economic downturn has impacted mid-range private schools. . .But high-end private schools with a powerful tradition momentum are showing less of an impact, but I feel any impact will be down the road and less so recently. . .But I am offering only an educated guess here. . .

And BE not making it as far as usual, I speculate, is the inevitable results of AM, Waccamaw, CC, and Woodruff knocking on their door for several years now. . .Dynasties do occasionally lose in sports. . .but they tend to be momentary lapses. . .That is the hallmark of a PROGRAM v. a good team. . .I suspect BE has nothing to worry about. . .
