I might have missed one, but since

2000 BB has won 13 of the 15 all A region titles. 86% winning percentage.

 

That's solid to say the least. Never heard of any 10th region teams dropping out even after getting beat 86% of the time.

 

And the two times they didn't win it (2009 and 2015), 2009 was the only time that they were not in the Championship game.

True to go to a private school the parents of the child are required to pay for it. The public school system is "free" because it is supported by taxes and what not. I do not know if the same can be said for privates.

 

Public schooling is for the kids whose parents cant afford to pay the cost for their child to go to a private school. Private school is a great thing if the parents can afford it, and usually the better athletes have more advantages and their parents can afford to send the to a private school so in turn that is where alot of talent seems to appear. And if some of the schools are helping with the cost then that only helps their cause to get those borderline kids who parents are not so fortunate. The assistance helps those parents get their children in the private school system.

 

.......or who chose not to send their kids to private school. Do not assume every parent who could afford to send their kids to private school would choose to do so.

At NCC over 67% of the students compete in at least one sport so 60% of athletes receiving some financial aid would be less the average number of athletes.

From Cincinnati St. Xavier:

 

Tuition for the 2015-2016 school year is $13,320. Tuition payments are due on the 21st of the month in July, September, November and January.

 

A St. Xavier High School education is a priceless investment in a young man's future. St. X wants to enable every deserving young man -- regardless of financial circumstance -- the opportunity to receive a St. Xavier education. For the 2015-2016 school year approximately 35% of students are receiving some amount of tuition assistance. The average amount granted was approximately $6,000.

 

As requests for assistance exceed the amount available ($3.6 million for 2015-16) it is necessary to establish policies and procedures for distributing tuition assistance grants to ensure consistency and fairness.

 

FACTS Management Company (FACTS) is used as an objective evaluator and interpreter of financial need based on criteria applied to data submitted by the financial aid applicants.

 

Although each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and consideration is given to any special family circumstances, grants are mainly determined on the basis of family financial resources and the number of children attending schools that charge tuition.

Just to "piggy-back" on what franky said.

Of the private, Catholic schools I'm aware of, no student is ever turned away because of lack of money. Every effort is made to work with the parents to provide that opportunity.

 

I'm sure it is not easy for a parent to say they need help, but thru resources like FACTS, efforts are made with great respect to the dignity of those asking for assistance. justsayin

Mr bear,

 

How many times in the last 10 years have you beaten BB in all A region finals?

 

And how many times have they one the all A region title in those 10 years.

What he is implying that because we (Brossart) are a successful private school that we must recruit or possess an unfair advantage that the other "A" schools in the 10th Region do not enjoy.

 

I've been hearing this from the uninformed ever since we have joined the 10th in 1996.

The truth of the matter is that we are a school (co-ed 9-12) of 288 students.

We run a clean program, develop our homegrown kids, have a superior coaching staff, and an incredible junior high basketball program that does a great job developing players for the "next level." Many graduates of our program coach in this league and teach our "system."

 

We are forced to take what we get. Many of which are pre-pubescents or young teens when they are freshmen and we develop them into future varsity contenders. Three or four years later, we are fortunate enough to compete with the bigger schools who think that we obviously must cheat because of our ability to compete with them.

 

Our coaching staff has been pretty much intact since Mike Code joined the program in 2002 as an assistant to Willie Schlarman. Since becoming head coach in 2004, Mike has taught the same basic system of being fundamentally sound, working hard, playing outstanding defense and surrounding ourselves with quality players who are good people working for a common goal. This now for 12 years without interruption or change of "philosophies."

 

You can count on one hand the number of players who did not come up through our six parish feeder system, and if you take the number of players who joined us without starting here as a freshman that number becomes two (both sophomores). Not just two this year - But two over the past twelve years (off of the top of my head).

 

Our present senior class - Rolf, Schultz, Ridder, Kelley, Zai, Crawford, and Hickman. All homegrown kids.

 

Can those who live in glass houses hurling stones our way make the same statement????? How many players that have played in your programs for the past 18 years not started their high school careers in your program????????

As a 10th Region competitor that highly respects the BB program, my only complaint is "how in the world do you get that same favorable pill in the All A every year?"

Mustang,

Not sure if you were talking to me or Bear but here goes.

1. I've always admired BB teams. From Willie to Code they always played hard and were usually a tough out.

2. I've always been fascinated that BB didn't attract more transfers from the nky area. Very odd in todays player free agency. (Your thoughts on why not)

 

Many times BB teams didn't pass the layup line look test to me. I quickly learned not to watch warm-up's.

I wasnt implying that all parents who can afford private schooling will do so. I know several student athletes that are in the public system that could be going to a private school. All I was referring to is that if ones parents can afford a private school then they also can more than likely affford to send little Jimmy/Jane to the best training avalible to them, therefore giving them the athletic edge over a public school that consists of a hodge-podge of players with many different skill levels. One or two dynamic players mixed in with average to below average players.

 

No doubt in my mind that these private schools will try to help any and all kids get enrolled reguardless of a parents financial situation. Just wonder how much of an effort is made for kid whos parents are not as well off that plays a sport and is very good at vs. a kid who excells in academics? I know I am going to hear that its the same for eithier situation but I've seen that movie before.

Not sure what you're implying by "effort". As previously stated, FACTS Management Company (FACTS) is used as an objective evaluator and interpreter of financial need based on criteria applied to data submitted by the financial aid applicants. Nowhere on the application does it ask about athletic prowess.

As a 10th Region competitor that highly respects the BB program, my only complaint is "how in the world do you get that same favorable pill in the All A every year?"

 

Insert Mustangs/Missing Horseshoe joke here.

I think the real issue that most people feel undercut on, is that a private school can go into any community and attract a kid to come to their school, without any boundaries. This coupled with the fact they can assist them financially makes many feel like they have a clear advantage over other schools. Finally, it is no secret that schools like Lex Catholic have new players every year which were not in the system the year before.

Ahh the old boundary lines.... What makes or breaks a lot of independent and county school systems.

How soon we forget. Just 2 years ago Brossart drew the unwanted first round game against Augusta led by Bach.
