Wow.

People say that schools like CovCath recruit because they get kids from all over, but, if they only had kids only came there for sports, then they'd be in a 2a or so. We had a lot of good athletes in my grade at CovCath, but most kids just went there for the atmosphere and/or academics.

Furthermore, I was recruited by Beechwood and Dixie to no end, but no one from CCH ever recruited me.

You want to say a school like Highlands doesn't recruit just because they're a public school? Who are the two biggest stars from Highlands? Jared Lorenzen and Derek Smith, right? I love Lorenzen- he's a good friend of mine- but he's from Edgewood (or might be the border of Erlanger, but it's basically the same thing), which is a half an hour away from Highlands when there's absolutely no traffic, you hit every light, and you don't stop on any tutrn. Smith is from Bellevue, which is closer, but it's still not in Highlands' district.

Just another ignorant post. Smith never lived a day in Bellevue. He was from Silver Grove. He grew up playing in football and basketball in Ft. Thomas with Ft. Thomas kids. Not a lot of football played by Silver Grove High School.

Lorenzen's parents were divorced. One lived in Edgewood, the other lived in Ft. Thomas. He chose to live and go to school in Ft. Thomas. Looks like that choice worked out for him. He surely wouldn't have been as successful if he wasted away over at team that loses playoff games as consistent as say a team like Covcath.
