Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 85477" data-attributes="member: 373">You have a very good point in having a coach that can get kids to buy into the program. My wife is best friends with the sister of those Sandy Bros.  and I know their programs pretty well. That and having the ability to have good coaches schooling fundamentals early on.  But there is a simple fact (and yes there are exceptions) that kids from families that many times can afford the tuitions of these private schools are not also working after school or over summers unless they want to and in some cases these schools are big enough to afford single sport athletes so there is less distracting some times . I have seen this to be the case. And yes there is farm kids that spend more time at the lake than lifting weights as well but by enlarge most kids I know in the little schools and towns from around here are working and trying to make that fit the program. Got a kid that gets up at 6:00 AM to drive 20 miles to school to lift year round. Plays football, basketball, school baseball and legion ball. Practices some at home, goes to camps, ect...... sports are his thing and he has a bit of athletic ability. Plus he helps get a crop in hay cut,bales hauled, cows calved ect..... and works harder than any hired man I have ever had. My two older boys... both played sports one would have rather hunted  and one would have rather worked on cars. Just saying some times it gets a little harder for kids like that to find that extra time to dedicate to these programs and still be a kid making memories beyond sports. Got a friends kids that with the coop school now drive 40 miles one way to practice. That is a lot of your life in a car at that age. Having said that, even when these private schools compete on this level , it seems there was always that cinderella team like Grenora or Epping or some other one that pulls all the people in the state together in Class B. Maybe not so much now with the coops. There were a couple good games to watch, hope this years boys B is as good as last years.</blockquote>
