Next thing you know, MRA will recruit an SEC starter from St. Joe***
Sure. But all of Prep’s “championships” are a joke. Whereas the private schools in Alabama win the real thing when they win one.
Yeah, because other private schools don't cheat at all.
Dude, go check the records of private schools vs public schools lately. You'd be amazed. Most of the public schools around here are Mickey Mouse.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion but I can assure I'm no damn cult member and have two kids at Hartfield. Now, I can tell you that I've been to every game since my daughter was in 7th grade because she was cheering on the sidelines. It's called supporting your kids. But then again, I'm glad she's graduating because I'm tired of paying.
Yes, Prep's trophy case is like OM's, bunch of nothingness. However, these days, I'll take any of the big 3 against any other public school. When I say big 3, I mean MRA, Prep and Hartfield. JA is done.
Frankly more schools’ football teams — public and private — are Mouseketeers.
I’d venture to say prep, Mra, JA, hartfield etc would wreak havoc if they were placed in same divisions based on students.
JA is going to have one of the best basketball teams in the state this year public or private.
Yep. Mo Williams just enrolled his kids there. Along with what they already had they will be tough. Dampier's kid is playing for the high school team at MRA as an 8th grader.
What about First Pres/Prep? Christ United/JA? Do those combos give you any vibes, or is it not so bad from the inside?
That's all good and well but I doubt it's up to just Prep or MRA or whoever. If I recall the state athletic association (MHSSA maybe?) chased out a couple of catholic schools that were near the border of the state by not allowing them to have out of state students participate in sports, even when it would be the obvious school for them to go to. So I would be surprised if they really wanted Prep or MRA or whoever without a pretty stout multiplier.
Context is key. Oak Grove is the number one 7A football team in the state and they beat MRA in OT. Prep and Taylorsville split the year/year series. And Hartfield beat a 5A school (Lafayette) this year.
never turn over your pulpit to false prophets like Hugh Freeze. You look stupid later.
Sure they wouldn’t consider it fair if they had to play in the 4A division against someone with 5 times the students
I think the AAU exec committee wanted it to go away and told the Mais to make it go away.
Yep. The better private schools tend to fair pretty well when they match up with public schools.
For all of the bluster of the original MAIS statement, when it came down to it they had zero actual evidence of any cheating.
I watched the Prep game vs West Jones this year. My take was the Preps skill position players are legit. But they were badly outmatched on the lines, especially vs Wests defensive line. WJ won 24-6.
