One, two, or several not sure how many or which is true or that it even matters. Maybe the kids choose to go to a magnet school with better classes for them or maybe they choose to go for a better soccer team either way they choose and get to go (if they do, not saying I have any way of know that X number of players are magnet "recruits", or if it 0 "recruits"). What being a magnet school with open "boarders" does is bring this type of "question of unfairness" into play. Seems to make those at these school slightly sensitive to being questioned about whether or not they are getting an unfair advantage over other teams.
In very simple terms yes they are, if just one player who would be on another schools roster is there then they have an advantage. Not the fault of the player, or teammates just the system that lets it happen, and not unlike having a school playing in a division where 3/4 of the schools have less than half the population they have! Again not the fault of the big schools kids it is the fault of the system that lets it happen.
A few years back we had this go around about the fact that Riverside was winning championships at 3A when they were 4A sized and by their own choice stayed down at 3A when school were realigned. Did the girls on that team choose that? No, but they benefitted from a system that allowed it to happen. As I remember they got testy any time it was brought up on here, like it or not it was a fact they did not want to "talk" about. So I can guess/see that Mann would be like wise sensitive to the same type of talk in their case. If it is true they have "magnet" player well then that is unfair, sadly it is most unfair to the Mann girls who will have people question their teams accomplishments because of it. Through no fault of their own they are cast in a shadow of doubt.
Mann's record speaks for itself and they are no doubt a good team, from what I saw of them they play hard (and clean) soccer. I am sure most of them care little for what is said here so hopefully they enjoy their playoffs and I hope we get the chance to see them again.
