Who accused anyone of going to a school to play a sport? That's not the point. The fact that a school can recieve any student that decides to attend is unfair in public school leagues. The average GPA of the soccer programs at most SC schools is tops, if not at least in the top 3 teams, among their respective athletic programs. Now we should all notice this correlation between academics and soccer in high school. If you have an academically successful school, then your soccer, golf, tennis teams are likely to be strong as well. Dexter i think mentioned the woefullness of private schools' football programs. Football tends to bring one of the lowest GPAs of any sports in SC high schools. CC and BE are prime examples of schools touting excellent athletic programs associated with better grades. Academics would naturally bring players that play sports known to bring the highest GPAs among high schools in SC. With soccer being one of those sports, it thrives at these schools. There's your advantage. If you are a private school, then be exactly that. Why come to public school leagues? Most would say for competition, but you guys can find all the academic competition you want in SCISA, since that is TOP priority for your students.

I don't see CC, BE, Pinewood, BL, and SSCS having any lack of competition amongst one another on the field anyways.
