Southern Cal Iowa? Please tell me you didn't have to deal with any Monahans on your teams (my in-laws).
Actually you may not have based on their ages.

I had a couple of Monahan kids in elementary PE...they were about 3rd grade or so when I left...seems like I remember a young athlete named Nick perhaps?

Probably Mick. I think they ended up winning a state title before it was all said and done.

I consider myself a pretty normal but passionate high school football fan.The 2 main advantages that I see private schools have is the ability to control their enrollment numbers, and their ability to accept students from outside their normal school district. Hence, the 1.35 multiplier. I simply don't get the animosity. Of course students at a private school are much more likely to be from families that encourage them to be doers as opposed to watchers and will be more involved in school activities whatever they are. I don't see why the rest of us should think that is so horrible.

Government schools definitely control enrollment in several ways. Government schools also accept
students from outside the normal school district.

Mick and a girl named Jamie if I remember correctly? Really good kids...I have fond memories from that place.

Which schools? Any class 1?

All of those examples were walk ons... Valle has had plenty of kids that COULD play at the D1 level (Tyler Hunt style). I get the point you're making, and don't completely disagree, but I think you're slightly underselling the type of players Valle has had.

I think the biggest difference is on the line of scrimmage. I played offensive line in the MIAA and i have watched MANY offensive lineman from Valle that had the talent to play D2, but with the way recruiting works now, weren't tall enough to get a scholarship out of High School.

Ste. Gen. has trouble producing tall kids. I think it has something to do with the water they drink.

I think it may have more to do with consumption of Stag Beer (after they turn 21 of course), Liver Dumplings, and "Oberle Dog" deer sausage than the water they drink...
