Columbus All-Star Team 70
Anna High School 66
Forget picking on private schools like LCC claiming they recruit. The real problem here is Africentric, Harvest Prep, and Zainesville Rosecorans. College prep schools smh

Well, where was Ft. Recovery this year. Couldn't they just suck it up and get back there. Sucking it up and competing is not the issue. It is fairness. No matter what they say, big city private and charter schools pretty much select their players from large population areas and play in the lower enrollment divisions. It is not a level playing field.

Let's hear it for the European Caucasian!!....what do you think? How far would that school's name and nickname go before we'd have a lawsuit from the NAACP?
It may be alright to have a school by their name, being predominately "African-American"...but let's allow ALL groups of people to have such pride and exclusivity it they'd like to...without pulling the "race card" on us. Wouldn't it be cool to play a school that has the nickname of Redskins and have them actually be Iroquois or Shawnee Indians?? At least they would be representing their OWN land, not a foreign land.

I'd like to see what a group of the best girls from Hancock and Putnam Counties could do as a team against Africentric or Lake Ridge Academy, or a few others in the state that operate the same way.
The combined population of these counties is nowhere close to that of Columbus...but I bet they'd smoke the city girls if given the chance to practice all season together.

Doesn't it seem a bit ridiculous the lengths that people go to, though, to have their kid "become" something in the sports world? If it's not about $$$, it's about fame. I love high school sports as much as the next guy, but it appears our society is getting their priorities all messed up. Parents will spend thousands of dollars putting little Jimmy on travel teams for years, and sometimes even the expense of moving into a certain district or renting an apartment or having a second residence just so their kid can have a CHANCE of being a champion or the hope that a scholarship comes their way.
