Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 88086" data-attributes="member: 373">There is no doubt Coach Feller is a good coach, have watched a few of their games and he does a nice job and you can see the kids he has have been taught fundamentals at an early age. Had a relative that coached in their system so watched it with a bit of interest. I also know other coaches that have a work ethic their players and fans beleive is "second to none" as well. But to say those kids have a harder work ethic than others that as a team are not as successful is foolishly assumptive at best. Yes those parents may be able to afford both financially and time wise to take their kids all around during the summer. Many parents that have talented kids that maybe would like to can not either because they or their kids are working full time in the summers or they simply do not have the funds to do so. Surrey may not be the best example at this point given it's bedroom community status with Minot. I am curious though what is the fear of having a 3 class system to people like yourself. From your emboldened statement and last paragraph I can see the base teachings of a Christian school may have fell a bit shorter than what you learned in the gym. It appears others opinions have no value in that good Christian based education you received eh?- - - Updated - - -Region 6 guy myself. Don;t think anyone is suggesting the kids are "bad guys here. Personally I don;t think the schools are "bad guys" either.  It is simply about the changing times and situations. Some schools outside of these parochial schools that are in close proximity to a larger town are now benefiting from open enrollment as well. Have relatives out east that work in a larger city that moved to a small town 30 miles away for not only the small town atmosphere to raise their kids, but admittedly so they have a better chance at playing sports. They dropped from school enrollments of 900 and 1100 down to 140.  It happens a fair bit. It is a simple fact of odds that schools with enrollment of say 85 kids 9-12 are likely going to have a tougher time being competitive than with a school of  215 kids 9-12. The NDHSAA believed that changing circumstances demonstrated adding to the classes in the state football program was warranted. Perhaps it is time to consider those same circumstances in basketball.- - - Updated - - -Was impressed with those South Prairie kids. Came up and played a full JV game and then the same kids played the Varsity game and they never quit playing hard.  Half way through the 2nd quarter their coach called a time out and I heard him tell his kids with a smile on his face, "you guys aren;t tired yet are you? You've only played 6 quarters, you can;t be tired yet!" Iron man basketball.</blockquote>
