I think Cowan is a big key to this. It is the largest gradeschool in the county and I don't know if they have a single kid playing in the HS. I know they didn't a couple of years ago. Traditionally MJP and Cowan have had some of the best athletes in the district. Hopefully when they consolidate the district will place an emphasis on putting good coaches at all three schools. I am a firm believer in the middleschool that you need a teacher to coach that sees the kids everyday and developes a love for the game at an early age. No one has more impact on a middleschool kid than their teachers. If this is done the right way in three years you will see a big pay off.
