As I said in my first post, my only point was that BE does not give scholarships - at least not when I played - and those were arguably BE's best teams ever.

I can't speak for other private schools, but it's a huge misconception to think BE does.

And it isn't like BE is out ther demolishing every team they play. Sure, the first couple of rounds are gimmies but after that it's always been a battle. This is the case for any level of soccer...from high school to professional. There will always be powerhouses in sports.

Of my 4 years on the varsity team, we were in the finals every year, winning 2 of them. But how can someone who is a a coach of the very same team that BE would see EVERY YEAR in the finals, talk and say that competition isn't fair??? Chapin grew, so you guys moved to 3A. BE hasn't grown.
