Kyle,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I truely respect and appreciate your opinion. I also hope you understand ( my opinion) that it is not fair to public schools. I have no problem with B.E. & CCES playing against public school comp. It is good for both, but they should not compete for championships except in the SCISA. They should not be playing football or anything else in a public school league ( again for titles). I will also state that if I could draw from the same area (miles) they are drawing from then I would feel very confident about beating the best. They are without a doubt the 2 best "private schools" in the state of S.C. Until you or anyone can convience me that it is OK for a school to draw any player outside of their own county, forget about zones, I will continue to say it is not fair. I play CCES and they beat us 3-0. It is nothing against the kids or Dave. It is just not a level field. I have been handed my tail by B.E. in the final in 98 and thats fine. I just personally don't think everyone is held to the same rules. If there is a descretion in the rules at all then there is a problem. There is no playing cost and academics and other stuff off against athletics. All public schools compete under the same guidelines and the private schools can't because of the zoning, so they should compete for championships in the SCISA. Which by the way has some other quality teams. It is not about winning. This is high school athletics. There is no pressure to produce titles day in and out like I see on the college level. I just personally feel that their should be no gray area and everyone should be under the same book.
Thanks again for the discussion.
